I'm relatively new to the whole pin trading business but I've done some reading up on things like scrappers and to be wary of them, especially when buying online.

I was thinking, perhaps if Disney themselves put up information on the matter of scrappers and sharks and the like both on their website and in the parks (posters? leaflets?) then that would make people more aware of these things.

What are your thoughts? If Disney hasn't already done something like this, should we suggest the idea to them?
 
I recieved this one,Scoop ZAPPED me with it:
Pin 50066: WDW - Cast Pin Trading Award 2006 - Top Dog Pin Trader (Stitch)

Through a very dear friend of mine..who just recently go back from WDW..she got one too

So even Cast Members and the like can do the whole "zapping" thing then? P: I'll have to try it myself sometime.

Side note, that's a pretty awesome pin.
 
It's a nice idea, but Disney would never portray their brand in this light. They're not going to admit, "Here's a problem we're not spending the money or time to fix."
