Trustworthy Pin Sellers

[DiZBrad11]

I totally know what you are talking about... and truthfully I have been the victim of things like that!

Like others, I am looking to buy some pins for the kids to use as trades for our next trip to WDW. They really enjoyed the trading part. To see thier faces light up when they see a CM with a lanyard was worth the initial cost. But now, it is getting hard to justify the cost ($8 each) for pins to trade. We are not into collecting or trying to profit. We just want real Disney pins that the kids can trade. I have read about "mousepinsonline". I was going to order a 25-item grab bag. Again, I am just wanting real Disney pins for the girls to be able to trade. I would be willing to bet that I could not tell a fake from a real pin. And, I could not imagine them trying to trade with a CM only to discover they can't because the pin is fake. Any comments about mousepinsonline?

Thanks

Four pins for 6.99 on thedisneystore.com website today: http://www.disneystore.com/10th-anniversary-disney-pin-trading-logo-pin-set-4-pc/mp/1253762/1001152/

At least we know those are the real deal

Are you sure that you have the name right?
They are a brand new person to ebay with no transactions at all.
Remember..there are plenty of sellers of real pins...but..if you are paying less than 2 bucks a pin..in a lot of 20 to 25
the odds are..that they will not be real.

Thanks BeBop. I am on my other computer ordering right now. Of course they also got me for a couple of shirts for the girls.

I do not know anything about ebay. I just found the name mousepinsonline here on the boards and went to a website.

You're welcome! They usually get me to buy more than my original intent too

We used mousepinsonline while we were trading regularly, I would order from eBay and MPO so we had a variety. I received a few scrappers but not too many. MPO will have standard Disney pins and Propins in their grab bags, both are 100% tradable at the parks and you will have no problems trading with CM's.

Girl..did you read my earlier post?
Here is the link...for them..
nothing...nada...

okay..
I see that they are a separate website..and..not on ebay...
I can see why...
They do not show you a thing.
no pics..at all..
so..how can you judge?
no feedback...
horrible self made, neophyte website.
and..most telling of all...
and..the reason that I would run for the hills on this one.....
is..
drumroll..please...
the only pics that they do have up...
are ..generic..cheap..non disney lanyards...
at prices higher than the real thing.
So...
if they cannot even carry real lanyards....
how the heck can you trust their pins..blindly?

I noticed one of the preferred ebay sellers has a lot of 40 pins for sale (they have a photo) and it looks like a great deal. We have 5 children (4 that may trade) and I thought about buying something like that. Do you think that is safe? They said you get the exact ones in the photo.

I worry too that they would try and trade a cast member only to find they are fake.

Who is it?
just research their feedback..
and..as the above poster has said...
the disney store has 4 packs of pins now for 7 bucks.
in fact,I just bought a bunch of em.

so..if they are for trading..
why play around?

I just got an email from MUBUNNY (one of the good sellers) and he just listed some and said he would be listing some for the next week or so.

 

[Momof4DisneyLuvrs]

The listing was from retiredreadingspecialist and was 100% positive. I think I saw one person that gave positive feedback but mentioned there was a scrap in the lot of 40.

I know because I've used them in the past, they came highly recommended from a pin board I'm on, actually more then one pin board. Like I said, they have Disney pins & ProPins, that's how they can do it so cheaply. It's not a horrible website, it's a simple one but not horrible. I trust them and I would buy from them without worry. Of course I would look over the pins but I do that with EVERY pin order I place, whether I've ordered from them before or not.

I have ordered from RRS, I purchased 2 lots of 40. Each lot had 2-3 scrappers in it, which for me is within my acceptable guidelines. So yes, feel free to order from her but be aware that you should check the pins carefully before trading.

Well girl,
as usual..we agree..to disagree.
I just want everything I buy to be really clear.
and..if there are no clear pics..
of what you are supposed to get...
you are buying..
a pig in a poke..
and..paypal..will not guarantee it...
as..it is not clear.
So..you are probably right..
and they are probably wonderful..
but,..
I want what I buy..and what I spend..to be clearly seen and spelled out.
Stay magical, pix...

Thanks to all for the information. I do have another question. Remember I am a novice... What are ProPins? Are they Disney? More to the point, are they also tradable with CMs in the parks? Agaain, thanks for all the info.

 

[summerskye]

After re-reading the previous posts, I see that ProPins are tradable. I still would like to know what they are.
