Trading on PinPics and other?

[GeraldineWH]

Working 2 jobs and babysitting grandkids on weekends has kept me away from being as active as before, but I do favor pinpics as a database for my pin inventory, it's just easier for me to add/remove and find pins. I also appreciate the many ways you can compare between 2 traders' collections, not just what ISO's you have of theirs to trade. You can see which pins you both own and which pins you own that the other trader wants. You can see which traders are looking for a pin and send multiple offers to multiple traders.

I also appreciate Pin and Pop for the Trade arcades, as that's where I'm pretty much doing all my trades now, so although it takes a bit of effort, I do maintain both accounts for the different benefits both provide.

Thanks for the info. Very helpful!

I also maintain both Pin & Pop and PinPics, and actively trade on both. I'm so sorry you had such a negative experience with that other trader on PinPics. As others have said, checking feedback scores before making offers greatly increases your chances of making a successful trade. I have had many wonderful trades on PinPics, and am expecting a multi pin trade to arrive on Monday!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think I'm convinced to put a little more time into listing traders and ISOs in PinPics and see how it goes.

Thanks for sharing. When people want to trade on Facebook can you send them a link to your traders on pinpics? I will check out your pinpics after I get more of my traders listed. Are you also fuzzybunny on PinPics?

if others from face book want to see my traders they have to sign up, and yes I am fuzzybunny on pinpics as well

I trade on both. PinandPop has really been beneficial for bulk trading and more equal trade offers for me. PinPics (since the revamp) has had mixed reviews. I've done some really good trades, had some interesting interactions, and 1 really bad interaction in which I agreed to a trade that they specifically reached out to me for. When we were going to ask for shipping info, the trader kept changing their trade proposal because they "accidentally traded away the original pins at Disneyland because they're regulars". I pretty much felt like I was being harassed at that point and told them to never reach out again. I haven't had any bad reactions since then but I've also had the account active in spirts due to updating my account and obligations that make trading harder this year. I hope you have much better interactions in the future on PinPics though. I've been a member of PinPics long enough even before the update to know that there's always going to be really great traders and then those who feel obligated to be JERKS. Keep trying and just remember to have fun - you can't please everyone.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like it is worth me putting a bit more time and effort into PinPics and see how it goes for me.

Back in the day I had a lot of positive experience on PinPics but have not used them much at all in the past couple of years and have been using Pin and Pop instead. I never had a negative experience like you describe and that person just sounds like a jerk that was trying to over-value their pins (not just on pinpics but whatnot). I can't imagine why a "for sale" price would be an appropriate value rather than a sold price, unless possibly if it was an extremely rare pin that never sells and even rarely comes up for sale.

Based on other people's experience, it sounds like it might be time for me to update my PP profile and get active there again. In my spare time. 🙂
