What Traders I Should Stay Away From at DLR
1) NEVER, EVER accept a trade where you are told to go purchase a specific pin off the racks for a trade. Not only is it supposed to be against the rules, unless you are trading for a similiar Limited Edition / price pin, you are about to be taken.

As all people react differently to others, I would not say to "avoid" anyone. But there are a few general rules.

2) Hidden Mickey pins should generally only be traded in return for other hidden mickey pins or at best starter lanyard style pins. If you're buying a $6.95 pin for a Hidden Mickey, you've been taken.
From my observation and it probably won't be a favorable one with many here... Avoid the guy with the old LE's that all have the LE # written on little white tags. You're just wasting your time. He never trades, he's only there for show and to "school" you on your lack of knowledge of Disneyland. If the guy has a 4 inch long goatee, avoid him. If they have every 2012 HM pin for you to see avoid them. They will want LE's or HTF OE's for them. Also they are a shark and either ran through the park early or go non-stop to get all those 2012 HM's. If they have mostly vinylmations I avoid them, they never want your vinyl's but they always want you LE's.
I also find it easier to show my pins first, see if they are interested in anything. If they aren't I won't waste my time. You can't fault a trader for not trading if you don't have anything they want. If the trader automatically chooses your rarest of rare only then walk away unless they have a holy grail type pin for trade. You have to keep those desirables because eventually you will find someone that wants it bad enough to give you one you want.
Yeah, that same Goatee Dude (Dresses like a Cholo) is only out to make money. I dont trade with him. Even at the Up release he was Screaming at people saying he would have to hurt anyone who tries to cut an Unofficial line. Sure thats the same guy since hes always at the park.
Hi Vicki! I'll be at DLR this Sunday! Look forward to seeing you two again! I'm the GUY always wearing a Haunted Mansion shirt &/or sweatshirt & cap.
I do that anyway Vicki. :] If Im nice, hopefully they'll be nice too. So for the record, and a mental note, There are two goatee guys at DLR. Maybe more
