So I'm just back from my first trip to WDW!!! I was told pin trading was additive, but did not believe it! Yep and now I'm here!!! So with most of you here I have stared some collections and I would really like to complete them. I'm not sure how to start. I see some have links to pins they want or trade, but every time I click on a link it say page not found. Not sure if its just me or what. I did a search for some of the pins (and yes I learned fast to leave off "pin") and there is so much that comes up!!!

Also I live in the NOVA area and would love to go to some meet ups (I think it was here there was just one last weekend, but we were in WDW....

ANY tips are appreciated!
Thanks
Merry
 
If you type in gallery. before the web address you can still get the site to work. To explain why it doesn't work is a bit long winded for now.
I chopped and changed my collections when I first started and all I can advise is pick a character/film you like and collect a few pins from that film. See how that goes to start with, if you find you have other interests they can always be traders in the future. I think the way we did it is just start picking up pins here and there, find out what you like and what you really want to collect.

Hope all goes well :)

Okay first of all the links don't work anymore because they link to the old pinpics site, there is a new pinpics site though. Not sure if that is going to be updated soon or not. However if you type 'gallery.' in front of the HTML, the link will work for the old site. Its a bit of an issue at the moment, hopefully things will be sorted out soon. Pinpics is the usual site to search for pins on, you can sign up and list what pins you have and want... however I'm not sure if signing up works for the old one anymore... you might have to try the new site.

Anyhow... welcome to the forums... and welcome to pin trading too! Another tip: you won't be able to post trading threads until you have 30 posts and have been on the forums for a while... you can however still reply to other folks trading threads.
 
Hi there, and welcome!!! :D. I did the same thing when I started, just wanted to collect EVERYTHING that caught my eye. Been collecting a little over a year now, and I have narrowed my collections down some and it's so much easier.
 
Welcome to the forums Merry! :D If I can help with anything, please feel free to contact me! Hope to get to know you over time and make a new friend! :)
 
Aloha Merry and Welcome! :wavey:

My best advise is not to be afraid to ask any questions you might have, that's the best way you'll catch on. We're a friendly group and I'm sure that someone (or several someones) will be more than happy to answer any questions about these shiny pieces of metal you have. :)
