If pin trading is going to be such an overcompetitave thing, why do they even do it? Unless Disney has a pin trading site, perhaps pin traders should check out this little site called EBay.... I hear you can do trading there.... :D:

Pin trading is a huge money maker in all Disney Parks. Disney also tells CMs pins provide conversations btwn guests & CMs. An ice breaker, PR thing. http://www.dispins.com is the major Disney pin trading site. There are probably others. I always remind pin traders to check ebay. Anything to get them to go away. :mad: Think this post is OT but...oh well. ]

Pin trading is not off topic because you can get some mean people in pin trading who can say some very mean things like "wet back", cuss words, stupid, thief, TRASH, and there was Gay Day when two bad pin traders where uh well um pretending to be Gay and uh well, red faced lady here, hitting a homer.
I have gotten rope burns, nearly yanked or pulled off my feet, and had my chest boinged. Pin trading at DLR would have been much better but one witch ruined it an tried everything she could do to shut it down even getting a super trader fired. they put it where people could openly steal and where handicapped traders had to sit on the wet back area or stand in pain for hours in the hot sun or freezing rain.
Security and staff over and over implied that I and othes were selling pins. I traded for a corn dog and for a hot dog but not making cash in park, never. I got a long list of names that staff and pin traders have called me wrongly. Pin trading in DLR was full of stealing cheaters like the time a cast member did not know the pin he was getting was cheap crud and he gave up a rare staff pin worth over $25.00!

i was called a guy alot when i first started working there cause my hair was short? i'm not really sure why, but i was always like "man. i dont wear culottes cause i think they are extremely cool or something. infact, i hate them and would much rather wear pants, as they are much warmer."
and once, i was spit on by a guest. now that i dont work ODV anymore, guests are alot nicer to me. weird.
