PinPics trading
I usually use three factors:
1) Is it Lion King?
2) LE Size
3) Is it Lion King?
Seriously though:Hahahahaha

Hey everyone. Sorry if this is up somewhere if it is fee free to delete or merg it. I have been trying to trade on pin pics. When you are trading do you base the value one want vs trade and if it is a LE pin? Are there any other factors you consider? I don't want to be that jerk offing lopsided trades.

Seriously though:
1) What's the LE size?
2) Origin? WDI, DSF, DLR, WDW, or is it from an event, etc.
3) How badly do I want it? (AKA is it Lion King?)
I usually never use prices when I trade for a variety of reasons.
1) It's not fun... like at all... (It's pin trading, not pin selling)
2) It makes it much more of a business exchange, rather than a friendly hobby.
3) It makes you look like a bit of a snob.
Example A:
"My pin is valued more than yours by some guy who has an eBay account!" "Now let's eat fancy hors d'oeuvres, Reginald!"
I'm not saying everyone who judges their pins by some random guy on eBay is like that dumb fancy guy, because not everyone is fancy...
Just my opinion though. :3

What are your thoughts on if I want one that would be valued higher offering multiple lower valued pins?

For open edition/rack pins, I will look at the wants vs. trades. For instance, I wouldn't offer to trade my pin X, which has 27 people wanting it and 37 people trading it, for Mr. Person's pin ZZ, which has 233 people wanting it and 10 trading it. Also, don't be discouraged by people who don't respond, it seems to happen off and on through Pinpics.
On another note, what is your Pinpics ID?

I'm going to voice what seems to be an unpopular opinion around here and say that I don't think there's anything wrong with having a rough idea of what a pin is selling for on the secondary market. (Note that I said what it's selling for, not what it's listed for. Big difference.) To me, it's just another point of comparison and one that can be useful if you don't have a ton of traders. If you're like me (very small pin budget, only a few traders at a time, no direct access to pins), you need every point of comparison you can get. I don't have a pin book I can flip through until I find a pin that matches LE size, origin, and ratio. And since I have so little money to spend on acquiring traders, I want to consider every possible way that pin can get me what I want. And yes, sometimes that means considering the price.
I've been trading for about four years now and I don't think I've ever had more than a dozen traders to my name. And yet I've acquired a pretty respectable collection through strategic trading and buying.
To be honest, the only snobs I've ever encountered are people who refuse to trade away older pins for anything that isn't even older. I'll never get some of the pins I want because I don't have access to a time machine. :lol:
