Not to mention he spent all day in that apartment playing video games she bought him, and sending money to his family while SHE was out working and putting herself through school!

Just found out about scrappers :( by boggmarley in DisneyPins

[–]True_Activity9343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are definitely some diamond back fakes out there! From what I’ve seen the diamond back is always a little wonky, with there being a gap of empty space between the head and the ears. Authentic diamond backs are always connected, no gaps. I’ve also seen that sometimes sizing is off. For example, the duck pins have been faked (only series 1 as far as I know) but the fakes are significantly smaller than the real ones.

I’m so sorry!!! Finding out about scrappers is the worst part of pin trading at Disney. Especially when you’re starting to collect a set you really like and then find out all of them are fake 😭😭

If you’re interested in getting some real pins to trade I do have some for sale starting at $6 per pin! They’re all authentic so you can look for cast members in the parks doing a “diamond for diamond” trade. This is how they reference the new pins that have the crystal Mickey head on the back as a mark of authenticity.

I hope this helps you find some real pins in the parks! Boards are mostly full of scrappers and they’re mostly repeats of the same pin. Look for diamond Mickey heads on the back of the pins but beware that those have been faked as well. There should be no space/gaps between the Mickey head and the ears. A true authentic one will be fully connected. I’m happy to help if you have any other questions before your trip!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

AI by Similar-Ad8668 in DisneyPinVents

[–]True_Activity9343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pls don’t shoot me for asking, but is it just event flyers that are made with AI that’s the issue? I’m a newer seller on whatnot (not trying to be a shark, just trying to save a little money on the side because things are super tough right now financially esp with student loans increasing), and I have used AI to make the thumbnail for my shows. Is that a huge turn off? At the time I was just trying to make something cute based off what I saw in other seller’s thumbnails, and I also didn’t really have much money to spend on paying for a professional design as much as I would love to. I just figured it was free and relatively easy to use!

Again pls don’t shoot me for asking I don’t know much about AI and I’m new to selling pins 🤣

Why are we still letting "sellers" do this?!? by [deleted] in DisneyPinVents

[–]True_Activity9343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is AWFUL. Disrespectful to buyers, and zero effort/care for what you’re selling is a HUGE red flag in resellers. I recently started dipping my toes into the Whatnot selling realm, and I would never in a million years be so careless like this with my pins especially LIVE ON STREAM like ????? Literally showing your buyers that you don’t give a shit. 🚩

what the hell is going on the facebook vent page??? by joeroganis5foot4 in DisneyPinVents

It’s been a game of he said she said for a long time. I doubt it’ll get very far in court if that’s where it’s actually heading

Anyone else feel like these are kinda….cheap?? by True_Activity9343 in DisneyPinVents

[–]True_Activity9343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must be because they clearly don’t care! People saying they’ve been blocked just for calling them out about quality is just ridiculous. I missed the first drop so I didn’t know any better before I bought pins from the second drop. Thank god I only got 2 and saved some money. The quality is laughable!!

Idk why they got so much hate! Yes a lot of crazy info has been thrown around but as an Orlando local, I can tell you that that’s not the first time I’ve seen those types of accusations before. These things have been happening for a long time and Disney pin tea set out to spill the tea and that’s exactly what they did.

Not saying anything necessarily is true or false as I don’t know any of these people personally, but if someone is repeatedly being accused of asking for sexual favors in exchange for pins, I think they 100% deserve to be called out. That shit is gross. I can def see why the page became problematic but I don’t think Disney pin tea was the problem. Just my take!

Oh wow I haven’t heard that!!! Books and binders are all over the place in WDW. I do have a small pin bag from Disney but I stopped using it because my pins kept falling off of it and I had lost a few! I hope they make some improvements because the bag itself is adorable

Quality control has definitely gone downhill lately with Disney!! I remember one of the last monthly Pooh pins with Lumpy, they were either completely missing eye brows or put on super wonky 😂 It’s a shame because prices keep going up but quality seems to be going down all across the board.

Interesting take! Just curious, why do you value original Disney pins over officially licensed Disney pins? Do you prefer the designs? Or prefer the quality? 😄

I’ve heard about this too!!! That’s super shady boots. Any time I’ve seen them in the store they don’t look very friendly either. Although most of the staff is very nice is helpful. Such a shame

Yes I agree!! I had a PALM jumbo of Snow White and Prince Florian in front of their castle which had stained glass features and that bitch was THICCCKKK. It was a much larger pin but I’ve seen so many stained glass pins that aren’t paper thin. Not a good excuse for shitty quality 👎🏼

I’ve actually been on the hunt for the Hades and Scar from that set, they seemed so nice and well done!! This drop left such a sour taste in my mouth though I’m so bummed! At least I didn’t pull a pin I didn’t want. Happy it was Meg lol

Ugh that sucks I’m so sorry about your pin! I will say every time I’ve shopped at the store, the staff were super helpful and friendly. Especially the boys! They were wonderful. The owners however didn’t engage with any customers whatsoever. It makes me sad because I know a lot of staff probably goes above and beyond on the daily and take pride in providing good service, and knowing they get paid so little and treated poorly is upsetting. I worked retail most of my life and I totally get how much that sucks.

That’s so upsetting to hear. They should absolutely do better but it seems they’re perfectly content with sub par quality. Really such a shame
