DLR PTN Silent Pin Auction?

[dalakersrnumba1]

Now how cool would it be to hold a silent auction for a pin at tonight's PTN at DLR? Just have the pin on display, some scratch paper for people write down bids and a drop box to place those bids into. After a certain time, a winner out of all the bids would be selected and TADA... silent pin auction completed.

If only I were able to get there early enough to get a table, but most likely I'll be a vagabond for the PTN.

Blind/Silent auction and you'll get lots of lowballs because people don't know what they are up against. IMO

They did that at pin events example O-pin house scfi (etc) only..

Well it'd be just for fun anyway, but I guess it'll be too risky then. Thanks for the input Pauly! So much for that! Haha

I don't think a guest can do that on Disney property.

yeah... great thought but it ijvolves money. so its a no go by disney policy.

However, I am working out details for a bake contest which has a pin prize. For next ptn in August.

Oh, I thought they were bidding pins?

 

[dalakersrnumba1]

Well I guess it wasn't clear but of course I meant that pins would be the bids. Anyway I'm fairly new to trading and don't really know the ways of Disney regarding this hobby but it was just a thought.

I remember one time I got in trouble at DLR for mentioning the word SELL at the tables at WWH even though I was just asking someone if they knew what LE pins they had for sale at the store.

i really dont like the idea pin trading should be fun for famliy and the auction is a bad idea for kids to get into if they do the silent auction people should pay extra to do it

Relax buddy. It was just an idea. I had already mentioned that I won't be doing it, but just wanted to see if maybe that option would create welcoming or discouraging responses. And I for one think new ways of trading is fun. Goofy_Moe's auction trading has hit mountain peaks cause it was new and it was fun. Do you really want to be continuously trying to trade with a rock that won't budge and consider that fun? You need to get out of your shop of horrors and not take pin trading so seriously.
