Reminds me of that guy, Kyle MacDonald, who traded a red paper clip for a house...step by step.

i always thought those were fun activities.Reminds me of that guy, Kyle MacDonald, who traded a red paper clip for a house...step by step.
I used to play Magic the Gathering and there was a project that one guy did called "Pack to Power -- or, how to steal $1,000)"
basically he bought a pack of cards @ $3.99, and traded up, step by step, for what is basically one of the "holy grails" in Magic cards -- one the "power 9" -- 9 vintage cards, each worth about $1,000 each, and he made it happen
I've recently started pin trading/collecting, and i've been doing a combination so far. I've been doing the step-by-step thing both through lucky finds on CM lanyards (recent example: just found an LE300 DSF Tink on a lanyard) and via trading, and I have bought a few on eBay as well as done the campout at DSF for the NBC pins recently.
I've had the same question too though, so thanks everyone for the feedback!

I use Disneyshopping and eBay to get my pins right now. I've also bought some from this board and am in the processing of getting more. Just be careful with eBay, you can get some really great deals there or you can get totally ripped off.

I've bought some traders from disneyshopping.com but I also hit the outlets sometimes in Orlando and find some good traders or some inexpensive pins that I will take to WDW and play treasure hunt on CM's lanyards. Occasionally I will do the ebay thing, but I just can't stomach it most of the time.
