PINventory
Well, I've had a frustrating week of pin trading. I got several trade requests thru the PinPics TA only to find out I didnt' have the pin that I said I did on my traders.
So, it was time for an "audit" on my inventory. I found 33 (!) pins that I hadn't logged on pinpics at all. 11 pins that I must have traded away. 3 pins that I haven't logged b/c I can't find on pinpics. 1 pin that I have misplaced...I refuse to say lost just yet. It was this pin that I LOVE SO MUCH...
I have to find it!!
Obviously, I'm not doing a very good job keeping track of my pins on pin pics. :sad:
I know what my problem is. It's the timing of moving pins I have bought, traded for, traded away. When I agree to a trade, do I take it of the traders right then, after I send it out, only after I get the "trade for" pin back? Do I add my "traded for" pin right away and take off my wants list? Or do I wait until I get the pin in my hand?
It seems that I can't decide and do it different every time! Then things get passed thru the cracks because I think I've already done it. Argh. I'm going to vow to stay consistent. How do you manage your pins? When do you take off traders, wants, collection?
I know not everyone keeps track of their whole collection on pinpics, which is fine. I just really like having at all there...and want some advice to do this better.
