This is being discussed over on Dizpins at the moment saying scrappers has ruined trading which I think it hasnt as for me there are not many pin that I want on my list and hardly any or all dont have a scrapper warning on them so for me there is nothing to worry about.

Scrappers of lanyward in the parks are most likley to be vinlymation and hidden mickeys as HM pins always get scrapped. Lucky if you dont collect those types of pins.

I had a run in with a trader when I first started as I bought 10 scrappers off ebay (I was none the wiser) now I tend to buy trader pins from DS.com or HTF pins to get pins I want, and if I see a pin on ebay that Im looking for to buy for trade I will check its pinpics and if no warning then most likely safe.

But as its been said on Dizpins that not every pin is perfect, proof of that is the UK bauble Xmas 09 pin which had dips in the paint on mickey and minnies faces...should that been deemed a scrapper since thats a telltale sign...I dont think so.

I tend to not thnk about the scrapper situation anymore as no point in stressing and getting paranoid when there is no need to XD

Hi Guys,

Like most of you I don't really worry about scrappers. I have a few which I've actually traded deliberately and also have some bootleg pins solely because they were really eye catching and I just had to have them. I don't think it really matters. I have a gorgeous Jessica Rabbit as a mermaid scrapper/bootleg which is so beautiful I traded a limited edition for it.
I suppose I've been lucky because the pins I mainly collect are Stitch and Tink.

But it is sad to think that some people are being put off trading solely because of scrappers

regards

Wendy

hello
thanks for you reply!
Tbh I wouldnt be able to tell the difference if I saw a pin on a cm lanyard and liked it I'd swap it, I wouldnt question it. Even when I looked some pins up on pinpics, even by what was said I couldnt tell if it was a scrapper or not! especially when it said the mickey heads on the back dont go all the way off hte edge but have a border... I couldnt tell! haha. You'd think Disney would be able to make the factories destory the moulds, part of their contract or something :/

Right, i am venting :evil:  I have just looked at my pin purchases over the past month and have to say I am not amused :evil:
This hobby has got out of hand and I don't want to total up what I have spent :oops:  :oops: So I am now frantically looking for someone to blame....apart from myself of course :lol:

I am torn between Pluto and ....well to be honest you lot :!:  All your pretty pin pictures and talk of trades and UP pins has left me unable to resist the power of the PIN, what can I do
I am looking to you all to save me from the clutches of THE PIN. Or, alternatively, you could all just tell me its ok and that you all spend more than me [-o<

hahahaha I will be your Angel (to go with stitch lol) that I spend waaaaaaay more than you on pins...total for the past month has to be over $600 and thats for only 1 stitch pin and UP set and the rest is on traders XD

and I think Im to blame for the UP pins since Im the one who has those XD

[bensmum]

Thanks for that....I do feel better :thumbs:  I must not buy more pins, i must not buy more pins, I must not buy more pins

:lol: Aloha,

Do not fret about spending money on pins Bensmum. The PIN will always looks after it's followers. And as I have said before, when you start spending the amount that we do a month, around £300 on Uk pins and then add the 2 to 3 hundred Euros bi-monthly on DLRP pins, then you should start to worry. :lol:
We have been trading a lot in the past week. Got some absolutely awesome pins in trades from the USA.
As soon as Simon shows me how to post photos then I'm afraid the temptation will only grow and grow :-"

Simon has been e-baying again so we have a few pins coming from there aswell.

Have a good day everyone

Aloha

Are you talking about the sale from USA site?  I am happy to report that while trying to purchase too many sale Pins I forgot my username and the reminder only arrived this morning thus stopping me from spending even more cash??
I do need to get a grip!

LMAO..
That was lucky. I sent a list to my friend in the states and she sent me an e-mail earlier telling me how much my load will come to if I go ahead. Nearly $270 :shock: And that doesn't include shipping and taxes. EEEk!!!
I told her to hold fire for now. I have just spent £80 in two days on UK pins so I need to rein myself in.
