There is going to be a designated pin trading area and I'm trying to figure out what to bring with me!

My priority is going to be trying to trade for any of the almost 40!!!!! pins being released there that I'm going to need so I'll need to bring some better stuff but there's only so much I can carry for three days straight so that means one bag max - but I'm worried if I only have my better stuff that I'll run into people with a bunch of Loungeflys I'm missing and won't be able to trade for them. The FOMO is real!

What are you planning to bring with you to trade this weekend?

And if anyone has any of my wants and wants to set up a pre-trade there - message me! 🙂

None. Buying is my focus at D23. It takes so much energy to work on getting into stores and acquiring pins I have none left over for trading. Plus having to lug the pins there and around for three days and, even more importantly, them taking up space that could be used for hauling new pins home. Then on top of that, the value of the new pins isn't really yet known and will take at least a few days to settle down and I would like that to happen before I start trading for/with them. But that's all just me. I know a lot of people do trade at the event and i wish you success at getting your ISOs.
 
I would love for buying to be my focus. But that's dependent on sheer luck in the virtual queues, which I can't count on.

Agreed the prices won't settle until after - which is why I plan on going to the Kraken event the following week - but I have to be prepared to try to trade for anything I can given there are 39 pins I need this weekend!
 
I spent a long time putting my better trade pins into one bag tonight but I think it's going to be too heavy to carry, so I'm going to look at it again tomorrow night.
 
It might just be me, but I find in-person trading to be REALLY exhausting. And, I'm totally overwhelmed with the amount of releases at D23 that I almost just want to throw my hands up and step away from hobby a bit, ha.

But, I'm a KH collector above all else, and Disney pins are just a subset so I'll always kind of just be in the periphery. We didn't even get Sunday tickets, so the one set I'd have sprung for won't even be within reach for me! I imagine I'll be spending more time on eBay after the event...

All this week I was getting BOGO offers from Disney for Sunday Expo tickets so I don't think they sold out. 🙂

I've been getting emails too! What is it about Sunday that it's still available?! I'm expecting to be exhausted by then so I've decided to skip a while ago...
 
I just spent a couple hours trading at the Marriott, almost everyone had higher end pins but a lot of people also had mid range or low value pins too. Several people had hidden mickeys. I am disappointed I didn’t bring my whole trade book, I think
 
I brought mostly my higher end trade pins - for me that would be $40-$50-ish pins as I don't have much that's "fire" - to try to trade for anything from today and didn't have much luck. People were more interested in my smaller stuff in the pin trading area so I traded for a Loungefly and the parks mystery kitty in a teacup with that stuff.

I may try bringing another one or two higher end ones tomorrow plus some more smaller stuff.
