Hi! New to Pin Trading!

Hello,

Through some research about what I want to do in Disney World and what parks I want to visit I came across pin trading.

 

I live in Chicago - so nowhere near the parks so the only for sure authentic pins I can get are Loungefly.

 

I have been making a few orders through the app whatnot but I am too scared to order pins on resell sites because I have been told there is such a wide variety of fakes - or what you pin traders call scrappers. 

 

Due to the wide range of pins I decided to focus on some of my favorite character and movies so I st7arted on Beauty & the beast, Marie, and the nightmare begore Christmas but of course I have gotten a few Mickey & Friends. If you have any advice on how Midwestern's shop for Disney pins that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 

 

Shelly 🙂

Welcome!  ShopDisney online is another good resource for genuine pins.  There's not a huge selection, but they often have some on sale.  And they add new pins every Tuesday.  I don't recommend ordering mystery pins from them, though, at least not in quantity.  The odds are high that you would get multiples of the exact same pins.

Welcome to PinPics and to the world of pin trading! I like to order my pins from Shop Disney and from the Facebook groups: Disney Pin Trading & Selling and PinPics *Buy*Sell*Trade! There’s a lot of regulars in the groups that have excellent feedback and are trustworthy. I hope you find some fun pins to add to your collection!

Thank you! Yes I got my first shipment of a few pins from whatnot and with the help of pinpics I have been trying to authenticate them myself and they all seem like good quality and real. I did make a few orders off of shopdisney. Just frustrated because I want some of those Blind bags that come with 5.
