Looking to get some more pins to have for trading but having a hard time finding them besides at the parks or through Loungefly. Any suggestions on where to look? Thinking of Whatnot but there seems to be a pretty high mark up on pin prices there. Not quite sure where to start. TIA for the help!
 
There are some sellers on whatnot that overcharge, but others that undercharge, IMO! I'll look through the sellers that I've had good experiences with and message you a list.

Forum members also often host games or sales that are a great place to get traders as well.

I also have had great luck with PinMeUpCo on Instagram.
 
I like blind boxes for that . . . if I get a pin I want, great, if not I can quickly build a supply of traders.

Do you have a BoxLunch or Hot Topic anywhere near you? Both of them sell licensed Disney pins, & have new blind bag sets all the time.

They also have a lot of BOGO sales. And there are folks in here who are pros with the box lunch money.
 
Due to the associated fees, I try to avoid Ebay, Mercari, and Whatnot. Just before a pin-heavy event, FB group members tend to have bargain basement sales on some of their smaller pins in an effort to raise money for the event pins. I'd start there.
 
Pink a la Mode (PALM) is a common place people buy pins at retail (or sometimes PALM has sales).

This is a pretty comprehensive list from the DPF guides section:

I think buying the 5-pin mystery packs is one of the best trading investments you can make. It gives you a variety of pins to trade to others who are often trying to complete the set or find their favorite character. They are clearly authentic and very rarely stay on your pin book for a long time if you're an active trader.
 
Where do you find those?
