i am a humorless fun sponge

ok but seriously this is kind of pissing me off

if you know that you are trading non-genuine pins to cast members and other guests at the parks then way to be a world class jerk

if someone informs you and you continue to trade those pins and get angry about it, you are also a world class jerk

why?

because it’s unfair

and just tip here, but be really damn careful when you buy giant mystery pin lots on eBay or the like because most of those pins are scrappers

aren’t sure??

check here or ask here before trading those pins!!

the first link takes you to a database where nearly every single pin is listed!! if there’s a known scrapper of it, it will tell you how to identify it, or at the minimum allow for comparison

the second brings you to a group of experienced traders that can also help you out!! wOW NEAT

also be really really careful when trading with CMs too!! because people buy these fake pins and trade them mainly with the cast members, so most of their pins right now aren’t good

so if you take anything away from this rant just remember

make sure your pins are real and don’t be a dick about it and still trade them if they aren’t
