Well, I did my 110th legacy Rapunzel for a Jasmine reveal/conceal (with a very slight flaw)
 
I haven't done it yet but if I ever get the chance I'll trade my soul and my youth for an Up marquee (my holiest of Holy Grails)

This is how I am too. I remember buying 5-600 pins at the Disney store, luckily it was the discount store, that I traded with CM over Xmas/NY that I found out when I got home that 1/4 were fakes. But that still meant that 3/4 or so were real. I could have traded those Star Wars LE3000 pins now for at least full sticker now probably. Oh well, I started my collection and it's grown every year since.

It's just hard to find via trade. It's never at the park, pin trading events and the people on pin pics are ghosts. I have no problem with buying it, if i have the money and it's available I'd buy it in a heart beat
 
Same here! Except they were all scrappers. I have 39 Scrappers. So sad. I got a lot of booster sets from Disney and traded those for the stupid HMs because I thought they were valuable. Stupid younger me. I have no idea what to do with them.

Does it count if the worst trade you ever made is one you didn't make? I could have made this trade back in 2005:

for

http://pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=38168&sid=7311.1344845989.v3

Exactly, I know. I passed because, at the time, I wasn't collecting the PTN pins and I thought having one of them would irritate me. And now? I can't get that PTN pin to save my life! Most. Ignorant. Decision. Ever. Can you say 'ugh, just ugh.'

That is too funny, because I made that exact same trade too! I traded my extra 110th Rapunzel for Jasmie reveal/conceal the day my pin arrived :lol: quickest turn around trade ever
 
I got sharked a LOT when I was new to trading, and for quite some time before I knew values! When I started, all I had were nice cast exclusive pins that me(or my dad) had bought at the team center, and I traded them away for hidden mickeys, open editions, whatever because I just liked to trade. I definitely have a list of people inside my head that I either don't trade with, or am very on guard with.
 

I was the same way, the funny thing is a lot of those early cast pins came way down in value so by today's standards they were pretty good trades. :wiggle:

There's another thread around here with a teacher who gives the scrappers to her kids as prizes (not kids who are going to go trading in the park.) Ah here we go, it's Jules: http://disneypinforum.com/showthread.php?14139-what-to-do-with-scrappers&p=231627#post231627
