Please can I get some advise on trading with folks from HK / Japan?
Obviously these traders have great access to pins from those parks that most of the rest of us find difficult to obtain. Many of the ones I want often have around 10 people trading and anything from 25-40 people wanting.

My question is what would you guys say is a fair trade for them. Here's some example pins;


Would you say for example that I should expect to have to trade LEs for them, or higher end OEs or what?

If you have experience or thoughts pleeaassee share, these pins are doing my head in & it often leads to lengthy debates with traders over fair trades.

I have traded with some of the Hong Kong folks before, and just as their pins are desirable to us, our pins are desirable to them. For those you listed above, I typically part with an LE 2000 or so for each, to give you a frame of reference. Of course, I would recommend trading in bulk, b/c the postage will eat you alive!
 
I completed a trade (through pinpics) with someone in Hong Kong a couple weeks ago and had no problems. In fact we both got our pins on the same day. I was able to get some Marie pins I really wanted for some of the new fantasyland pins.
