eBay is usually popular. Just keep in mind that most people will tell you that unless you but it yourself directly from Disney, no one can guarantee that it is authentic. Any conversation beyond that tends to get into ugly talks around here.
What are you looking for with regards to pins? Most resellers will obviously have a markup beyond that Disney would sell you direct. And Disney should sell you any non LE pin through their Merchandise hotline if you see a pin you like on their pin site.

Highly recommend ebay!!! Pins are so expensive in the parks and my DS is hooked on the pin trading, I swear the boy spent well over $200 of his own $$$ on pins when we were there in Dec. On the DME on our way back to the airport in Dec, I got to talking to another mom about the pin trading and she sugguested I check out ebay, so for Christmas in anticipation for our upcoming trip to Disney I took that advise and checked out ebay. I seriously got 100 pins for $54!!! Got some really great pins too! There were even about 5 of the vinylmation pins in there that my DS LOVES to collect TOO!!! And all the Pins I got were authentic. Needless to say, best $54 I ever spend. We leave in 3 weeks for the world and he already has his pins packed and ready to trade! :wave:

eBay. I just won an auction for 50 pins for $32 delivered. Can't beat $0.64 for traders. I only buy from US sellers with high ratings from people who have bought pins from them before. The only person(s) that can tell me they are not true Disney pins are the CMs my DD will be trading them with.

We do the Ebay thing every year before we go too. Stock up on traders and we keep some of them we like. I couldn't care less what people say about Ebay pins. Fake or not we like them. We are not in it make money so as long as they look good I am fine. It's the only way to go for trading.

I agree with all of the posters. Ebay is a great way to go. You can find some really good deals. We are not in it for the authenticity of the pins but more for the fun of trading. Besides the fact what we normally trade for is not authentic anyway. When we are getting ready for a trip we usually buy a lot of 500. My husband loves to trade as well as myself and daughter. We have 5 giant framed material covered cork boards hanging throughout our home full of pins. We are in it just to collect the pins we like.
awesome, just put my first bid in!! im going in Novemeber, and plan on making trading a key aprt of the trip (just a new element as i go often). how many would you suggest i go with for a good trading experience? im going for 8 days and 4 will be in the world.

For all you eBay fans out there. If you want to save a good little bit, looking into "bid snipers". One I can recommend is goofbay.com (it is legit)
