We are going to WDW the week after T-giving. SInce it will be a bit cooler, I am planning to wear a "safari vest" that I have that has lots of pockets (great for all the family junk...uh...stuff).

The question is, if I put my pins on it, will everyone and their brother think I'm a Super Trader and try to trade with me? I can tell you that some of the pins would be good and some fairly common.

Are SuperTraders well known/understood to the average guest/trader?

Are there SuperTraders in parks other than Epcot?

Thanks for any advice. I would use a lanyard but they irritate my neck and I have too many pins for one.


Have a Pixie Day!!:jester:

You should be ok. There are lots of people that run around in the vest like supertraders but are reg. traders. You might get mistaken a time or two but for the most part you just say I am not a CM but I would love to trade perhaps...HEHE
 
As far as I know (unless things have changed ... Mike?), the only supertraders WDW has are in Epcot. There's a CM at the AK pin cart who wears a safari vest loaded with pins, but I don't believe he's recognized as a supertrader.

I'm sure you'll get quite a few people looking and probably be mistaken for a CM once or twice ... it's happened to me before and I only wear a lanyard.
 

Hey there! No answer to your original question, but wanted to say how nice it was to finally meet you in person! Thanks for wandering into my store on Friday :)

Also - I got some info on the pins we are getting that you asked me about! We should have about 8 or 9 different pins at $8 each that we are getting in sometime next week. No idea on a street date, so they might actually go right out for sale! Give the store a call on Wednesday morning around 10am or shortly thereafter for more info. I was just given this info yesterday.
 
I'll be there that week, and since I am fascinated with pins, and I will probably stare at your vest, unattractively drooling! I don't care if they are rack or LE, I just love looking at bright shiny objects.

See ya there!! Donna
 
Thanks for the input!

I love to talk to people about pins, so it should be fun. It always amazes me how people assume that if you have a bunch of pins on, you must be an expert (ha!). Anyway, I try to offer advice if I can and I always tell people to collect what you LIKE not for the VALUE! There's just too many pins!

So, um, FergieTCat, shall I bring towels for the drool, or will you? :jester:

Hope to see you there!
