Should I do this trade?

[CrashMyParty]

Hi all,
So I just got this trade offer:
My Pin 89013 (Animation Art Mystery Collection - Dumbo Only) for their Pin 87784 (Disney Store Europe - Lion King Hakuna Matata). I feel like it's fair but at the same time I'm sort of hesitant to accept. I'm not really sure why. What would you do if you got this request?
Thanks,
Caroline

I'm curious to see what others say, but if it were me I might not do this trade. The Lion King pin is cool but only has a 1.1 Want/Trade ratio. The Animation Art pin is also really cool but has an awesome 7.9 Want/Trade ratio. I'd rather trade a pin with a similar ratio in this case *BUT* if I really, really wanted the Lion King pin I might do this trade anyways.

I personally don't go by wants/trades ratio because it I want a pin for my collection than I don't care how many people want it and how many people are trading it, I want what I want. What I do go by is how much I want it in regards to all of the other pins on my wants list. How badly do you want the pin being offered? It is a little harder to get UK and other European pins so you might want to think of that, but if you're hearts not in it that might be your answer.

What will this pin be to you? collection or keeper? if you plan to keep this pin, remember, they only came out in Europe, there are only 400 of them, and there are only 29 people willing to trade them. 29 available here out of 400. But thats if you plan to keep it and it is a highly desired pin. If this is another trader then that is where the want/trade ratio should come into play, but also remember pinpics is just another tool to track pins, it is not an absolute for pin trading. there are people out there that want pins, but do not use or have even heard of pinpics. Just some things to mull over.
