I am rather new to trading pins but I've been collecting for many years. This being said, I want to be a fair trader. There's a good chance that in the not too distant future (next two or three) I MAY get the Mother Gothel DV pin. I am not at all crazy about this pin but I understand that many Tangled pin collectors are and that she's the most sought after. This being said, I was considering trading it (if I get it) but I wanted to know if what I would be asking for would be fair. I'm not a good judge since I'm still rather new and I don't want to rip anyone off/get swindled.
I was thinking, ideally, that if I get her, I would ask for...

Pin 55688: DisneyShopping.com - Elisabete Gomes - 6 Pin Set #2 - Oogie Boogie Only
Pin 81947: DLR - Disney Girls - Reveal/Conceal Mystery Collection (Giselle ONLY)
Pin 81319: DLR - Disney Girls - Reveal/Conceal Mystery Collection - Princess Tiana ONLY'

My husband collect Oogie Boogie pins and the Gomes one is his grail. I am two R/C girl pins away from finishing my R/C girl collection (my grail set). Would it be unfair to ask for all three of these pins for Gothel or would I have better luck splitting it up and either asking for Gomes or the two RCs? I'd appreciate pointers from some more seasoned pin traders. Also, I ask kindly, no PMs asking me to trade as it is not 100% certain that I am indeed getting that pin but there's a possibility. If I do in fact get it, be sure that I will be putting it up for auction/trade here on the DPF (that's my definite plan, not listing it on Ebay). Thanks guys for any advice!
 
I'd be interested to hear thoughts on that, too. Good question, tough one. Part has to do with what you "have into" Gothel. On its face, the three pins seems like alot to ask. Oogie for Gothel seems reasonable but I think Gothel is the better/more valuable pin. The two R/C's are great but again not worth Gothel (I wouldn't think anyway). Consider either Oogie plus one R/C or, better, try to find a second nice pin and do a 3-for-2. No right or wrong, I think, just different perspectives.
 
well, I personally think the R/c Giselle would be a straight across trade that someone would make.
the oogie boogie gomes and tiana r/c together would not be enough. Its a really hard group of pins to group together.
and you also have to think about what you are trading for it. trade that much for it! Its a great pin that I currently would want but
to give sooo many pins for 1 pin, I just couldnt bring myself to do that unless it was an le 100 that I would never be able to even see in person
unless I owned it.
but mother gothel is a great pin and its just hard to say what would be a good trade
 
The R/C Giselle recently sold for $198 (btw, still kicking myself for not spending the money to buy them when they were cheaper months ago!) so that, by itself, would be a fair trade for Mother Gothel (possibly, if someone is lucky to have gotten it in a co-op for $100-150, although I see that she just recently sold for $245 (although another sale shows her selling for $198 as well).

Good luck with your trade!
