I should have known better ... OMG !!! SCARPPER ALERT
Wow after reading the posts I am glad that I don't buy the pins from ebay. My dad has bought them from there and there were some that were fake but shoot I made some pretty awsome stuff with those fake pins. I need to get more materials to make more of them magnets. If you do get any kind of scrappers I am willing to take them off your hands and perhaps make you something cute with them as a thank you.
 
So before I leave I wanted you to know that those that thought I did the wrong thing , I went against my own belief , revised his fb to positive and he is sending me 25 authentic pins for doing so . So even though some shot me in the leg, he must have had scrappers because he made a point of asking me what I intended to collect and that he gave his word that I would receive Authentic Disney pins all in the name of positive feedback . So let the scrappers roll on for the ones that know no better . You can be assurred when you trade with CM's and get a scrapper that one may have come from those batches . Done with my Soap Box .

Like I said in the post before this one that I was willing to take the scrappers and make something out of them so they won't be traded at the parks. If you want I can make you something out of the pins.

 
Some of you thought I did wrong by leaving the seller negative feedback, so against my better judgment I revised his feedback to positive . For this he sent me 25 pins and just as I thought , all but 10 are probably authentic pins, the other 15 are scrappers . I didn't have to pay for them, so I will glue them to a frame .
 
I don't know if this guy is legit or not, but I feel bad for people trying to sell on Ebay now because of these scrappers. I know a lot of people go to Disney and get caught up in pin trading. They get a few and then get home and realize they have nothing to do with them so decide to sell them on Ebay. Maybe they didn't realize they picked up a few scrappers and they get the 5th degree.
 
Also, this thread kinda gives Evilbay sellers a bad rap. Theres a big difference between scrap dealers and pin sellers.

Some actual descriptions from the bay::


scrap dealer: Lot of 50 pins, no duplicates, Hidden mickey's, assorted characters, picture is a sample of what you might get... buy it now $25.00. Lots available: 10
Pin seller: Set of 25 hidden mickeys, completed sets from 2008 WDW, picture is of pins you will recieve. $25.00. OBO

srcap dealer: Disney princess pin, cinderella. $5.00 available: 12
Pin seller: Disney Princess Cinderella, no packaging. daughter desided she likes Bolt better. $5.00 OBO
