I ordered several sets of booster packs from ebay seller, lvnapoli, and they all appear legit, in the packaging, for under $10 for 4 pins, plus shipping per lot.

Feedback often means nothing... Most people can't tell a scrapper from a real pin, and that's understandable. I'll check out their auctions and report back with my best guess.

No big lots, so I think you may be good with those three. I can't tell, obviously, without looking at one of their pins, though, and even then, I probably still won't be able to tell.

I LOVE the Dole Whip pin... I traded for it a few years back. I actually have that whole set.

I am putting pinsonthego on the red list. This lady is obviously bibbity bobbity botuique, or whatever her name is. She writes the same way, her feedback responses are the same "blackmail" "responded to all emails" and the title of her "buy as many as you need" is the same as BBBC. Anyways, if I am wrong about her being BBBC, she sells scrappers anyway. She only has 40 styles, which is an immediate red flag. Think about it, how could she only have 40 styles? The only way to sell pins at a low price is to buy them for a low price from someone else and sell them at a low price, unless you are the person trying to liquidate them. If you do buy cheap pins and resell them, you will have a variety of pins, not just 40 styles. DO NOT BUY FROM PINSONTHEGO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am just sick. Haven't done disney or boards in about 3 years. Just bought some pins on e-bay cause I enjoy putting CL/HM pins back INTO the park. Think I got some from shells7pak.

Why do people do this? I think some on e-bay buy from China and then go and trade in the parks and sell those online. So there is JUNK on the CM lanyards most of the time.

I am an adult pin trader and HATE to see kids trading away what I KNOW are good pins for scrap. I have been known to speak quietly to a parent and tell them (not sure if it is appreciated or not). I wish the CM knew more about the pins and would refresh their lanyard after it was full of junk.

Oh well....I KNOW I have some good HM/CL from last time and will be hoping to find some people who just like pin trading for what it is (saying hello and meeting new people) and who are NOT in it for profit. Karma stinks and these lowlifes will get what they deserve....eventually!

Don't worry about it. You didn't know about scrappers back then. Glad you now see how greedy people are though.

I scan through this thread, and I may of missed it, but I am wondering about Zoom-time? Are they ligit? My DH is thinking of ordering, and I told him before he does I'd like to check with my Dis Friends to be sure... I trust you guys... Cus you can't always belive they are by the FB

oh and 2 more cfc93 and mikeand nancy1020 sorry

TIA

[pixiewings71]

I don't find zoom time with any searches, but I did find cfc93 and I would assume from the quantity of pins they have available that the majority of them are not good. And mikeand nancy1020 I'd assume the same thing. I have not purchased from either of them tho so I cannot say for sure. If it was me, I would not purchase from them.

[MountNittany]

cfc is probably all scrappers

I'd try buying from mikeandnancy, I probably will soon.

I ordered a while ago from gold747, I got a lot of 15, all but 2 were bad. I contacted him and he offered me a refund, I told him I would accept either a refund or replacement and he was going to replace them. I got a message from him yesterday asking if I would accept a refund as he wasn't sure what he has that is good and what is bad, I told him I'd accept either resolution and today he refunded me. I probably won't bid on any of his other auctions after this transaction but I cannot say that he is knowingly selling scrappers.
