46 Pin Trading: It s What You Do!

47 Global Finals Pin Guidelines Pin Trading Fair Pin Trading Code Trading must be done in a fair and honest manner. NEVER take advantage of younger or less experienced traders! It is OK to say NO! Pins are to be traded. ONLY TRADED!! The sale of a pin(s) to another trader or the purchase of pins from unauthorized others is strictly prohibited. We strongly encourage the practice of trading 1 pin for 1 pin or a pin set for another pin set of equal number. Highly coveted pins, or pins in limited supply do take on values like stocks and bonds and go up and down so sometimes to get the trade you want you may have to give more if you really want it.
