Like others, I am looking to buy some pins for the kids to use as trades for our next trip to WDW. They really enjoyed the trading part. To see thier faces light up when they see a CM with a lanyard was worth the initial cost. But now, it is getting hard to justify the cost ($8 each) for pins to trade. We are not into collecting or trying to profit. We just want real Disney pins that the kids can trade. I have read about "mousepinsonline". I was going to order a 25-item grab bag. Again, I am just wanting real Disney pins for the girls to be able to trade. I would be willing to bet that I could not tell a fake from a real pin. And, I could not imagine them trying to trade with a CM only to discover they can't because the pin is fake. Any comments about mousepinsonline?
Thanks

Good catch,I forgot about that..Four pins for 6.99 on thedisneystore.com website today: http://www.disneystore.com/10th-anniversary-disney-pin-trading-logo-pin-set-4-pc/mp/1253762/1001152/
At least we know those are the real deal
Thanks BeBop. I am on my other computer ordering right now. Of course they also got me for a couple of shirts for the girls.
I do not know anything about ebay. I just found the name mousepinsonline here on the boards and went to a website.
We used mousepinsonline while we were trading regularly, I would order from eBay and MPO so we had a variety. I received a few scrappers but not too many. MPO will have standard Disney pins and Propins in their grab bags, both are 100% tradable at the parks and you will have no problems trading with CM's.
I noticed one of the preferred ebay sellers has a lot of 40 pins for sale (they have a photo) and it looks like a great deal. We have 5 children (4 that may trade) and I thought about buying something like that. Do you think that is safe? They said you get the exact ones in the photo.
I worry too that they would try and trade a cast member only to find they are fake.
okay..
I see that they are a separate website..and..not on ebay...
I can see why...
They do not show you a thing.
no pics..at all..
so..how can you judge?
no feedback...
horrible self made, neophyte website.
and..most telling of all...
and..the reason that I would run for the hills on this one.....
is..
drumroll..please...
the only pics that they do have up...
are ..generic..cheap..non disney lanyards...
at prices higher than the real thing.
So...
if they cannot even carry real lanyards....
how the heck can you trust their pins..blindly?
The listing was from retiredreadingspecialist and was 100% positive. I think I saw one person that gave positive feedback but mentioned there was a scrap in the lot of 40.
I know because I've used them in the past, they came highly recommended from a pin board I'm on, actually more then one pin board. Like I said, they have Disney pins & ProPins, that's how they can do it so cheaply. It's not a horrible website, it's a simple one but not horrible. I trust them and I would buy from them without worry. Of course I would look over the pins but I do that with EVERY pin order I place, whether I've ordered from them before or not.
Well girl,
as usual..we agree..to disagree.
I just want everything I buy to be really clear.
and..if there are no clear pics..
of what you are supposed to get...
you are buying..
a pig in a poke..
and..paypal..will not guarantee it...
as..it is not clear.
So..you are probably right..
and they are probably wonderful..
but,..
I want what I buy..and what I spend..to be clearly seen and spelled out.
Stay magical, pix...
