Frank and Sons or My D-pins??

Care to offer a different suggestion? It's either their fake, scrapped, "fell off the CM truck" or stolen. There is no other reason someone would buy pins and then sell them below their own cost and purposely lose money. The recent Princess crests are a great example. They were at Frank and Sons for sale like the next day after release. Tons of them for $5. They're $11.95 pins in the park, even with a 20% AP or CM discount that's still over $10 with tax. And if they are subsidizing pins to buy completer hidden mickey pins you're still not breaking even even at eBay prices.

I don't think so. They have to make money so if you buy it discounted at the park for $10 and you trade it, you't have to be trading it at like $3 in value for them to make enough profit selling it at $5 to be worth their time. And who is just gonna buy a pin for $10 and then trade it for a $3 pin? And do it 30 times in one day the day of release?? Something smells like Nemo...(fishy ><>)
 
I was just at Frank & Sons for the first time this past weekend and I have to say I was not impressed. So Melinda saves pins for her preferred customers no problem with that, but she was swarmed and I barely was able to take a peek and not much of a variety. Josh's booth I have to say had such a variety. If I do return to Frank & Sons it will be to see what's in his booth. My D-Pins store however! Be prepared and bring a wad of cash with you. That place if not soon will one day leave me bankrupt! Josh I swear you will be the death of me! lol MY D-PINS ALL THE WAY!

Hey, thanks for that! Do you know if they have a site or e-mail, and do they do mail order? Like, if you sent them a list of pins you were looking for, would they be able to send you back a yes or no with prices, then be willing to ship?

We've been to Frank & Sons during our one trip out to Anaheim, but we didn't know about this place...

They do have a website, I will find the link and send it to you shortly, they have a ton more variety in the store as it's kinda like an antique mall with several different vendors so the inventory is always changing! They are more than happy if you call them to see if they have what you are looking for or keep an eye out for it. They reach out to their different vendors to spread the word of whats being looked for.

Has anyone been to Phat Collectibles on Euclid in Anaheim? I heard that they had pins also.

I've been there. They had some pins but not too many. It's not too far from My D Pins though, so if you're going I guess it wouldn't hurt to stop by, but My D Pins has TONS.
 
I've never been to either, but I recently made an ebay purchase from mydpins and had a positive experence. They had a Grail TLM pin posted I was interested in for $100 over the most recent auction sale price of that same pin earlier this month. I gave them my best offer comparable to the auction sale price and they accepted and shipped out in a very timely fashion the day I paid. The pin arrived well packaged and is lovely! And heavy! There is a slight tarnish on the gold on the face of the pin in one spot that I didn't notice in the picture, but it is hardly noticeable and the pin is older so it doesn't bother me.

When I next have a chance I look forward to going to the mydpins store! I'm going to Wondercon and I beleive they will ahe a booth there! I'll check for Frank and Sons as well and see if I'm able to compare in person at the con. I think both sound worth going to and experiencing though.
 
I did go to Frank & Sons this past Wednesday. I found my way to Melinda's booth in the middle. She was very nice to me. I scooped up a bunch of cute Tinks. ( well actually it was 8 Tinks! So I bought them their own lanyard at Westward Ho today!!!)
