The nicest thing a fellow trader has done for you
I love how close the pin trading community is. Whether it's ZAPPING, supporting projects like mine, or just chatting about Disney look-a-likes, it's always a good time.
I thought it would be cool if we shared the nicest things fellow traders have done for us.
For me, I started pin trading in 2001. I only got about a dozen pins. For my next trip the following year I wanted to come equipped. I purchased 50 of the "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand 2000" pins off the bay. I didn't realize you couldn't trade a pin to a cast member if they already had it, and I didn't realize that the cast member lanyards were saturated with these pins. Needless to say I was very disappointed.
During my online trading I encountered a very pleasant lady (I forget her name now!) who offered to trade the pins for me in the parks so that when I came to Florida for vacation I would be able to trade freely. Ever week I sent her 10 pins and she'd send me back 10 unique pins. She even paid the shipping to send them back to me and included a couple of extras! How awesome is that!?!? I'll never forget that act of kindness and hope I get the change to repay it or "pay it forward" in the near future.
Now it's your turn to share.
