PTN Goers, Check Your Emails
Yeah, I was going to post about this later. I found it very interesting how a lot of their questions were about the secondary market and how we buy our pins, considering that doesn't really have anything to do with the PTNs. I mean, a question about where we buy our pins I wouldn't have blinked at. But in addition to several of those types of questions, there was a lot of curiosity about whether or not we buy to sell, and whether or not we consider "future value" important in our consideration as to whether or not we buy pins.
I thought this was a neat little survey and was glad they showed interest in the pin community! It's promising that they're trying to better understand us. I was really surprised to see our forum there as well. And the bizarre questions about where we get secondhand pins from were... something.
However I definitely gave them my two cents about the preview boards being vertical lol. Something with that many people waiting to see it has no business being vertical when being horizontal would actually keep the line moving, if only fractionally.
Hopefully they listen to everything!
I think because this question is about buying/selling and PinPics isn't really for that. If this was about trading, I would 100% expect PinPics in there.Side note: interesting that pinpics isn’t listed given their affiliation with acme/hotart? You’d think they’d acknowledge them before us!

Good thought! It's not fair that California gets all the low LEs. How are we meant to trade with them?I was glad to see they are reaching out to us. I told them the parks need lower edition size pins for collectors and traders. And larger pins like WDI or soda fountain.
Huh, you think? I've always liked that you could get rarer pins when you wanted them from DSF but higher LEs easily as well at the parks.I was glad to see they are reaching out to us.

I mean that's fine if you live near DSF. It's practically unaffordable though if you don't.Huh, you think? I've always liked that you could get rarer pins when you wanted them from DSF but higher LEs easily as well at the parks.

Oh yeah I live in VA so it is pretty difficult but I've always found people offering near cost pickups when I've needed them.I mean that's fine if you live near DSF. It's practically unaffordable though if you don't.
Like this times 100!!Need Disney Auctions back!
My pin collection says 'yes, please,' but my credit card says 'hard pass!'Need Disney Auctions back!
My thoughts exactly!

This. Exactly. The weekly midnight ds.com would be welcome at this point, but they were nearly as expensive and just as exhausting as Disney Auctions. Although I suppose it was better to stay up one night a week than find a way (especially at those times) to be on the computer wearing out the F5 button twice a week for those (choose your own adjective) DA P.I.N.S. pins.Exactly! Actually, even only going back to ds.com...I miss the pins, but don't miss the massive bills and 3 AM stay up time!
I just wish they'd do quarterly releases or something- maybe holidays. Saves us the money and stress of weekly releases, but we still get nice, big pins occasionally.

My only concern with a quarterly or maybe-holiday release is ... would we know when the release would be? Would they tell us in advance when a release would be or would it be a surprise?
