I have been trying, ardently, since February, to trade for Pin #57588, DLR Halloween 2007. And the standard response is -- "I'll pass" or none at all. Is it because I'm a newbie (not enough references) or am I making the wrong offers? FYI: still new to "trading realm" -- so, yes -- "dumb as a stump" may apply Signed; Newbie (literally and figuratively) Not Getting It. *My Fiendish Pin-Fetish Wish List* PinPics Id: Halloweenfiend

Its hard to say unless we know what pins you attempted to offer, and it also depends on the person receiving the offer. Take a look at this link. Maybe it can give you an insite on what to offer. Best of luck.. and don't give up! Still Searching For This Pin... can anyone help me? My PinPics ID Anaheimsportsfan My email: anaheimsportsfan (at) yahoo.com

Suggestions are welcome, as I am two pins away from completing the set *My Fiendish Pin-Fetish Wish List* PinPics Id: Halloweenfiend

The Ohana tend to be pretty nice people, all in all. And if I receive an offer (or make an offer) to someone with no references, I will suggest a 3rd party trade. I've had 2 of them and everything's gone off without a hitch. Feel free to suggest one yourself; no one will be offended, I'm sure, and the moderators are a great help. Another thing to keep in mind is that, sometimes, these things just happen in waves. There was a while when I couldn't make a trade to save a life, then all of a sudden I was receiving two or three trade offers a week. Just keep plugging away at it (though those 'no responses' get to me, too), it'll happen. You just don't know when.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Yeah, I have been a trader for over three years now and feel that it can sometimes even be considered useless to someone who trades in the park to also trade online. As a person who usually goes to Disneyland at least three times a month I do not make that many trades online and have seen this pin before at pin trading night.

It's not so much that the pins that you're offering are a bad trade...it's just that people cling to those Halloween pins pretty tightly. Just keep offering different traders occasionally, and eventually, someone will respond. Or perhaps you'll get lucky on the trade/sale boards or eBay. Good luck! Wants List Trades List

Also, make sure you're not sending a repeat offer to the same person - if they haven't answered the first time, they're not gonna answer the ninth. LOL 'Twas brillig!

The second is totally my fault because I have not updated my pinpics account. But you may be running into somebody who is as slack as I am with it too. CatStarr@Charter.net
