Scrap lots being sold in HOTELS

[Psycho Pixie]

I was visiting a hotel this weekend for an expo, just south of disneyland. As usual, having little kids, we visited the lobby, and the lobby shop. In the shop was a display of some unique lanyards and a bunch of pins. What caught my attention was that there were hidden mickeys on plain black Disney labeled backer cards.

So I investigated a bit, looking at the different pins. Not only were there hidden mickeys on what to most folks would be "official" Disney backer cards.... ALL ther pins on the rack had dips, streaks and color flaws. It was so obviously a scrap ebay lot that I wanted to cry.

Is it any wonder tourists dont understand???? Look at this!!

poor quality on the cards also

Well this is just sad.

 

[Catz]

Ouch.

 

[ALittleBitOfMagic]

Scrappers are getting out of hand... This is just ridiculous!

 

[crushedbubbles]

omg this is insane.

That is so sad. I really hope we are talking about a cheap hotel, otherwise it is sooo sad.

 

[nsingleton]

So sad to see, anything to make a buck! :sad: And then for it to be a business like this who is selling them!!! :sigh:

You can report this to Disney. It's an actual illegal counterfit solicitation of their merchandise.

 

[mickeymousje]

This is so sad

 

[starry_solo]

very sad indeed.

 

[PurpleRose]

Wow, just...WOW! This makes me so sad

 

[AgentR]

Incredibly sad.

+1

I would definitely report them for doing this, especially so close to the park.

 

[tinkerbellfan117]

Wow. Now that is sad.

This is terrible. Looking back on my last trip to Disney, I have to assume that pins I bought from the tourist trap gift shop were not authorized pins. I was brand new to the hobby and I had no clue. I'm sure parents who have no clue see this as a cheaper alternative to what is offered in the parks.

 

[Dalamara]

Omg, that is just awful

 

[Zagales14]

This should 100% be reported! Kristine, you should send those pictures in to Disney with all the info on the Hotel!!

 

[starry_solo]

It's not even a cheaper alternative to the parks. They want $6.99 for one pin! That's even more pricey than the cheapest pin at the park.

I saw the same thing in November at one of those souvenir warehouses.

Agreed. I know there was once a post with the contact info of who this should be sent to. Does anyone remember the post or who posted it?

I have reported a couple of eBay sellers that sold me scrappers and refused to refund my money. This is where I reported them. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for. I hope it helps.

While I was there this weekend I was going around the hotels and souvenir shops looking for jerry Leigh pins and I saw a bunch of hidden mickeys on Disney cards and thought that was weird too and thought to myself while walking around Disney wondering if they were scrapers but forgot to go back and check! I will pay attention next time and report it as well if I see that!
