Fri 03/08. 10pm Est Beginner Pin Trader Open chat, Any intrest? Please reply

Hi there,

Lately there have been a few folks asking a few questions about PT in general and specifics for PTNs and online trading,

sooooo, I thought :"you know someone should hold an open forum to discuss and help any of our new folks with questions they might have?:"

And being the multi personality that I am i answered myself and said:"who would do that? and Then who would want to participate?"

Well I answered my self by saying"WEll Im not an expert but i do think that I could answer some of the questions and any others in chat could help if

they wanted to, but who would show up to ask questions?"

So is there any intrest in this?

Please reply below if you would like to see this/participate in this/be involved in this type of discussion.

Thank you for your time and considertation!!!

happy hunting!

I would love to be a part of this. But I can't do it at that time.

I may be interested. I'll have to get a computer that can open up the forum. No bueno for iPads.

I love the idea of a set topic to be discussed in the chat room at a specific time...

There are so many topics we love to debate and discuss, so why not do it all together in chat at the same time...

I would love to take part and give my view from a trader who has been doing this for a while...

This would be good for all traders to discuss, not just the newer ones...

Heck, I can think of 20 topics to discuss right off the top of my head...

This should be a weekly thing with new topics every week...

I would love to see this and would welcome insight from those willing to share their experience in pin trading. if Goofy_Moe has 20 topics to share I have 20 times I'd like to hear about them. A new topic each week would be great!

i thought the same thing, every week could be a different topic, with maybe a guest host, this way no one persons PINology is preached, instead each of us gives the knowledge we have and share with each other,

I guess its kinda a virtual PTN without the virtual pins..Trader,collectors, hobbist sharing in the obsession we all share!!

off to find a minion scribe to start my notes for Fri as well as begin planning for future "PINAHOLICS ANYNONaMOUSE" topics.....

Thanks Moe its great to see the community support an idea..... especially one that ultimately benefits everyone and excludes no one....


MMiano -- fear not as the topics progress Im sure you will be available, and besides I guarantee this one will be repeated, look at the DPF membership numbers, we are always gaining new members!!!
Supermannino yes a computer with chat might be helpful:shock:



New folks

however for the time, think of what you might learn,

some folks have been at this "pinsanity" for a very long time, and their knowledge and advice is bound to be worth hearing or heeding, think of the time, MONEY, energy, and brain cells that this could help you with.
You will help the pinsperenced by showing us the hobby we all love thru new eyes, your excitement and enthusisasm energize us "well traveled" traders, come learn and in being the best student, help teach the teachers..



How many out there wish they had someone witn 5 to 10 yrs at our shared nuerosis, around to give advice?

To give hints and pointers that some call"secrets"?

I know I wish i did when I started,


experienced traders--
Likewise , if you have been at this shiny metal collection subculture for a while to a long time,
think of what you know that you can share with the new folks,
Remember what it was like when you started, Not that part, the part where you got taken cuz you just didnt know, but now you do?
OR the feeling of having achieved a wonderous pin, only to be belittled because you traded a E Gomes, Evil Queen for that adorable Timon DVC pin?
Cmon you fellow enthusiest of Mickey pin backs, This is your chance to help and pass on, as well as be rejuvenated by the newer members of DPFs community.


I know we all read way too many threads and hear far to much about the bad and bs in this forum,
This is a chance for us all to both help and benefit each member of DPF , in an ongoing and ever growing way,

Many of us have joked about a PInaholics Anynonamouse but essentially this is what the in chat discussions will be,
Us talking and laughing and sharing the one thing that bonds us all together , Our love of the shiny metals !!

Anyone else???

Lol... I would probably have to suggest we have a MOD in the chat room for a few of my ideas of topics to discuss... Bwahaha... I can see it getting quite vocal on some debates...

This a great idea, will there be a summarize after ?
It's not I don't want to join, it's just with job + time difference, I'm not sure I will be able to do it

I'd be down to join in the chat. I'm always in favor of helping new traders understand the complex and mysterious world of Disney Pins. Heck, I even have some questions to ask and I've been collecting/trading for awhile too!

Goofy_Moe, I am realllly interested in your 20 topics now. We'd need a mod in the chat for them? Interesting!

i suppose a summerize post could be made, sorta a readers digest version of the roundtable, or cybertable if you will?
Thanks for your support and question, maybe we can vary the times to allow other timezones/countries to be included, this week Fri 10, two weeks, WEds at 7am est, its worth considering ,,,,,

Thanks for that great idea!!

Perhaps you can create a poll on what day of the week and what time best suits most members...

I think a set schedule would work best for long term success of it... Same day, same time, same place, and a new topic... You can announce the new topic during the week and those who wish to participate would show up... I bet quite a few would...

Thanks so much for all your replies, keep em coming please!!!

I will be posting a format for the roundtables either today or tommorow morn, pms to "hopefull participants' will also go out within the next 24 hrs...

Thank you again to all of you for caring enough to share some time and effort!!!

ok who else!!!!

Hi Darryl
I posted about this several months ago on the anything goes forum,I was actually going to set up another chatroom(FREE)so we could do it there for the newbies only!!that way they were not confused with other members chatting about other things,I was going to do a weekly one...


Judy

I would like to participate in a chat for beginners and that time works for me.

great minds judy!!! But if you dont mind my asking what happend? Why didnt you do it?

No one responded,I had a couple PM me and said the chatroom was too full and it was getting confusing when they were there without the chat going on
Thats why I was going to create a seperate chatroom,and NEW members would PM me for the link that were interested...I was going to do trivia for fun and get a 'GET to Know"q/A

I don't know ... something about delving into the "PINology of Lucan" is intriguing as all hell! To say it would be an interesting read would be an understatement of villainous proportions.

Make it happen! :anxious:

Man. Is 10pm est. the set time? I won't be able to join in Maybe next time...

another excellent idea, and just for us newbies!!! i tend to feel rather clueless when people post and are able to know others on first name basis, know their wants and likes and what they have to trade, who lives where and goes to parks for pins, etc, etc etc. i know this comes with time, i just feel uncomfortable jumping in to discussions or threads. it seems i might as well be posting "hi. i don't know what the h*** i'm doing yet, i have no worthwhile traders and might not recognize a scrapper if said so on the back with a perimeter:dunno: just my .02$

For this first go round we will stick with the 10pm time , just to make notes of what we need to do to make it work best, hows that???

Those that can make it are very welcome, those that cant, fear not,
we<the DPF verse,> seems to be of a mind that maybe varing/alternative times would be available....

But lets just have fun and do this first one and make sure we can accomplish at least these things;

A> to see how it works and what we can do TOGETHER to make it better!

B>what doesnt work and what we dont need to do.

C>if we can help folks out a bit


D> Have a buttload of fun<do not ask or pm me for the metric or standard measurements plz>

Which 10pm ?

should be on. This is an awesome idea. I have been struggling trying to trade. Iam very gratefull for everyone on DPF. They have made it easy to trade. I have tried a PTE at the Contemporary and felt overwhelmed. I am scared to trade on Pin Pics because I don't want to offend anyone by offering a bad trade. Thanks Lucan for doing this.

Morue , that would be East coast 10pm, WDW time, New York City Time, not quite Key West time, they are about 11 1/2 minutes off......its slower in the Islands!!

No no thanks goes to the demi gods that run this place,
The fantastic members who make it what it is,
and the shared community and appreciation of our "obsession"

Hope to see and hear from all of you,

More info will be available in the am!!!

SPREAD THE WORD!!!!
happy hunting
Darryl

anyone else intrested in this topic? how about any others? got suggestions for what the next roundtable should be?

Speak up ,it is our forum, so let your voice be heard!!!!

Remember apathy is like maple syrup ,it spreads easily and without sudden attention, will leave us with just a sticky mess!!!

Thank you all for your continued support!!!!
