Now I remember why I left Pin trading....
Well I am back, enjoyed the break... Lets see how things are now.
Well I am back, enjoyed the break... Lets see how things are now.
I AM TYPING IN CAPS FOR MY OWN EYE REASONS BUT SAW THIS POST AND WANTED/NEEDED TO ADD. I ALSO JUST RETURNED TO PIN TRADING AFTER LEAVING IN 2007 DUE TO THIS TYPE OF THING. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO BRING JOY TO IT AND TO OTHERS. I CHAT EVERY NIGHT WITH WONDERFUL PEOPLE, I SENT OUT 25 ZAPS THIS LAST MONTH AND LAST NIGHT I POSTED A GREAT NEW IDEA TO SEEL MY OVERFLOW OF PINS
"PINS FOR RETAIL, COME TO MY SALE THREAD AND PAY WHAT DISNEY CHARGED WHEN THEY WERE ON THE RACK"
I LISTED ALMOST EVERY PIN I HAD FOR SALE AT DISNEYS ORIGINAL PRICE OR THE EXACT PRICE I PAID FOR IT IN 2002-2007.
(I KEEP GOOD RECORDS LOL) I THOUGHT IT WOULD INSPIRE GOOD WILL AND CREATE SOME HOPE FOR PIN TRADING.
I WAS THEN BOMBARDED WITH EMAILS AND ALMOST EVERY ONE INCLUDED THE 25 RAREST PINS FROM THE POST and nothing else, AND THEY EVEN WERE NICE ENOUGH TO INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL DISNEY COST AND A TOTAL. EVERY ONE OF THEM COMPLETELY IGNORED THE REST OF THE SALE RULES, THE AMOUNT STATED THAT I PAID FOR THESE PINS IF IT WAS NOT RETAIL, AND SAID ILL PAY YOU RIGHT NOW FOR THESE JUST SEND ME YOUR EMAIL. IT JUST FRUSTRATED ME SO MUCH THAT I ENDED THE POST AND CLOSED MY ACCOUNTS TO TRADING.
IT SEEMS THAT NOTHING WILL CHANGE AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WILL KEEP UP THIS GREED MANTALLITY UNTIL PIN TRADING IS DEAD IN THE HEARTS OF SO MANY OF US. IT WAS TOO EARLY TO COME BACK TO TRADING GRUMPY BECAUSE T HAS ONLY WORSENED SINCE WE LEFT.
I LIVE IN NY SO GETTING PINS IS HARD UNLESS I PAY MORE AND I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO ONE PTN IN 2007. I HAVENT BEEN TO DISNEY SINCE 2007 DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS, AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO FOR A FEW MORE UNTIL I HEAL ENOUGH, SO IM NOT AS SCHOOLED AS OTHERS AND I GUESS IM GLAD OF THAT. I DONT WANT TO LOSE CHATTING AND MAKING FRIENDS DUE TO THESE REJECTS SO I AM NOT GOING TO SAY IM OUT. BUT I AM DEFINITLY IN NEED OF A COOL DOWN, i LOST YOU ALL WHEN I LEFT DIZPINS AND DONT WANT THAT AGAIN.
I KNOW THE BOARDS WONT LET YOU NAME NAMES AND CALL PEOPLE OUT BUT I THINK WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO NOTIFY OTHERS WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE AND WITH IRREVOCABLE PROOF THAT THEY ARE STEALING/SCAMMING WE CAN HVE A LIST OF THEM TO SHARE AMONGST OURSELVES. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO OWNS A WEB COMPANY AND IM GONNA FIND OUT IF HE WILL HOST A WEBSITE FOR US SEPERATE TO THESE FORUMS.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS TRADED WITH ME THIS MONTH AND WHO HAS MADE MY HARDER NIGHTS HAPPIER IN CHAT. I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN WHEN MY GLASS IS BACK TO HALF FULL.
HAPPY TRADES

I thought it was a wonderful idea but as usual some people had to add in childish comments and cry about it being unfair. What is so unfair about giving someone who has 20 positive and no negative feedback a nice lapel pin they can wear.
Wow...that was uncalled for. Just because some people didn't like/agree with what you were doing doesn't mean they were making "childish comments" or "cry[ing] about it being unfair". It was a flawed concept plain and simple and people were just expressing their concerns. You are entitled to your opinions and so is everyone else.
+1 , with help from my therapist, do I ever hear that . I Agree ! Thank You kristine . :hug:+1... but lets get back to this thread topic.
As a PP said, sometimes you need to take a step away for a bit to re-organize, take a break or just see things from a diff perspective. Welcome back to the trade, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

i agree, it was wrong to go onto someone elses post and post something that had little to do with the topic.
I will say that the childish comment thing was the joking about using caps, since i cant see the words on the screen, not you erudolf, and i did not mean literal crying i meant going off topic to say they were not mentioned instead of adding positive imput to the post.
Your points were valid and i did not say they werent but i still think if a person is involved in trading and has done alot for the community, they should be recognized. I thought making these pins would bring up spirits and show a connection with other traders. Thats all
happy trades and no worries
