We have not been trading in quote some time and was wondering if anyone ones if there will be any trading meets or traders meeting next week? Not even sure we know what we want, but just have a trading itch! Is there a certain day/time/location to meet fellow traders?

Hello The next Central FL pin traders meet is set for sat 4/13 in the afternoon at the Port Orleans Riverside otherwise there are trading tables at Pin Central in Epcot no idea what times would be best there though Hope to see you at Port Orleans!
 
i have to be honest, if i dont reach out and set up some pre trades or a meet up with people who live there, i dont do any decent trading in WDW. I bring and wear my small pin trading bag (doubles as my purs) into parks and put very low end traders on it to hand out to kids with lanyards and trade with CM if i see something worth while which is usually the current HM's.....and they are usually 1/3 scrappers. So i would reach out to folks on here, like on this post and pick a specific day and place to do a lite trade and coffee or something....like "hey all trade with me sat moring 10am DTD by Earl of sandwhich" or something. The trading table is Epcot were gone the last time i was there, but i guess folks say they have returned. Those folks have good pins.

You can always try the tables at Epcot, but don't go there with high hopes. It's usually just people with random OEs and Hidden Mickeys. Of course, if that's what you're looking for, then you might do alright. Just be careful though. A good number of the traders that show up there have scrappers and a few of the regulars are only there trying to rip tourists off and get them to buy them new pins for their old junk that isn't worth anything.

I'm not saying EVERYONE that shows up there is like that, but there certainly are a few people to avoid. We used to go there all the time when we lived in Orlando and it was pretty much never worth it. If you can make it to the Central Florida trading day in April though, I would recommend going to that. A lot of good traders go to that and there is always plenty of trading, with a much longer amount of time to spend than you would at a PTN.
