Barb, if you NEED to get rid of those pins, my girls are just starting their collection so they could always use a few of those extras or doubles

Jerry, any pictures of the pins you have?

Wow, 1167 pins?! That's awesome.

I don't even want to start getting into the collecting mode with the pins because I know that I'd go overboard. I've been collecting sports memorabilia (mostly sportscards) for the past 25-30 years off and on and have a decent collection. I've also collected comic books in the past among other things. So, I'm a "collector" and I know that once I get the Pin Bug, I wouldn't be able to get rid of it.

Yes it is the bug but it helps to pass the time,will be getting a few more special limited edition pins along with the trading.

**Oh Pooh** · #11 (**permalink**) 11-30-2008, 01:01 AM

Jerry will get plenty of more pins soon !

Okay I might sound like an idiot, but the last time I went to Disney, pin trading wasn't very big.. What exactly is it? and what do you do?

**hms1016** · #13 (**permalink**) 11-30-2008, 06:10 PM

I do not pin trade, but I think I know the general idea. You can go up to any cast member and ask to see their pins. If you see one you like then you can trade. There are also actual locations set up that you can take all your pins and people can come and trade with you. The two locations I know of are in Downtown Disney and at Epcot. Some people that are really into it buy two of each pin, one to keep and one to trade. Some people just buy specific cheaper pins to trade. This is just my take and I am sure an actual pin trader could give you more details.

Remember blue lanyards adults trading , green lanyards children trading!

stanky284 · #15 (**permalink**) 12-01-2008, 04:12 PM

Also if you trading pins make sure the pin you will be giving the cast members is not on their landyard , they will decline the trade

mickeypal · #16 (**permalink**) 12-01-2008, 09:52 PM

I thought cast members couldn't decline a trade.

stanky284 · #17 (**permalink**) 12-02-2008, 12:19 PM

Yes it happen to me last year in Disneyland, for the first time

she told me why.Had the pin on her lanyard meaning no doubles

I've seen people hanging out at the tables in Epcot - at the pin trading station near opposite the tip board, near Spaceship Earth.
Does Disney allow anyone to go there to trade? Or sell?

**WDBArnyVee** · #19 (**permalink**) 12-17-2008, 08:36 AM

I wasn't sure....I thought the tables were there for that reason.

Disney allow trade but no selling of the pins. Be careful though some will try to rip you off. Rule is one pin for one pin if they want to trade. If CM they have to trade unless they have two pins on their lanyards but I have never had a problem with this. Guess it depends on the CM. But people are allow to bring in their pins for guest to look at & trade if they like what you have to trade. I always if I wear my lanyard (lately I haven't) I ask them if they see anything they like if they do then I look. I don't want to be bother looking & finding one for them to say no
