Keep receipt for purchases?

[whidbeynurse]

Is having the receipt available with pins purchased any benefit at all or should we just throw the receipt away?

As with everything in life, it depends.
I keep mine for DSSH purchases, some Disney Store purchases and sometimes DLR when I'm not sure if I want to keep the pin.

Personally, I don't keep receipts.

I keep all of my receipts. My logic, can't hurt, might help and it doesn't take a lot of effort or space to keep the receipts.

I have kept most of my receipts, because I'm that type of person. I want to go through them at some point and mark the ones I have receipts for in P&P so that I know, "these are the pins I bought direct from Disney / licensee, for authenticity purposes. I kept LE cards too, but I wish I had kept the older open edition pin cards too. I did start keeping those eventually. But 2000-2006/7 ish weren't.

I try to keep receipts if I can just in case something is scrapped so I can prove authenticity.

Thanks for posting this question. Great replies above. After the 30 days, I toss mine. That being said, considering a few of the responses above, I may rethink that.

This is pretty much where I am at also. Mostly for whoever gets to go though my collection someday to figure out if there is any actual value to be found. Receipts may aid this person in supporting a pin was purchased directly from Disney.

I also keep cards (didn't for first few months) and wish I didn't have to keep cards, but someday again, someone will want cards if there is value to be found in my collection.

I basically save paperwork for someone unknown to me.

Makes sense.

If you or anyone else is going to sell your pins, you’ll want the receipts for tax purposes.

This is true too. Good point.

Yep! The personal shoppers who sell hundreds of thousands of dollars of Disney merch per year don't keep receipts and they will be in huge trouble when they get audited. If someone sells through reportable platforms and cannot prove what an item cost, 100 percent of the sale amount is considered profit.
