eBay Live Pin Collecting/Trading

If you ask about my collections -- I don't consider pins. And in fact each year at eBay Live I make a pledge to myself not to get caught up in the Pin Fervor. Wrong. I did it again. This year I think I did it because it was actually hard to get all the pins, eBay made it more difficult in the manner they were given out. One eBay employee said, "well, we had so many people registered we have to make it hard". Hello? If you have so many people registered why don't you order more pins, I believe that's what the registration fee helps to cover. But I guess I am coming at it from the collector viewpoint. After that's what I am -- a Collector! So since I have the collector mentality of wanting COMPLETE SETS, I am missing several pins from the event. Anyone wanna trade to complete their set? Or if you want to see some more about eBay Live! including a gallery of collector pictures, check out my pictorial feature on About.com

Created by chocolatechip on 6/22/06

Since I really am not a pin collector, but enjoyed the hunt so much. I decided to come up with a way to actually use the pins. This bracelet is what I came up with from last year's pins. For close-ups and more information, check out the other... See more more

eBay's Casino Chip Pins

Created by chocolatechip on 6/22/06

There were numerous pins given out by eBay. The white bordered chip on the lower left was given to each person with their lanyard. The "bling" chip in the middle was a very limited edition that I believe was available for sale. I was given it... See more more

Hi .. were you able to complete your Ebay Pin set? I have extras of the ones you were lacking but not the Boston pin and I'm of course missing the most difficult to come by Ebay bling pin.

The Bling Pins

Created by chocolatechip on 6/22/06

This is a close-up of the pin in the center from previous picture. I believe a limited number were for sale the first day. There were also entire sets for sale that were set in stone. The pin on the right, with a few stones, was included in the... See more more

UShip Pin, DHL Pins

Created by chocolatechip on 6/22/06

A few of these smaller pins were hard to find, I had several folks ask about my DHL pin which was readily available at their booth. But the booth was a bit towards the back, not in the main traffic pattern.

TurboTax, terapeak and...

These were all from the vendors. The TurboTax is a neat pin, as was the MarketplacePro who played up on the Vegas showgirl theme. They also had showgirls at their booth and you could have your picture taken with them.

I chose to have my picture taken with Jim and the IT mobile instead of the showgirls!

Puzzle Set

Created by chocolatechip on 6/22/06

These tiny pins (much smaller than pictured) really made me work. Each individual vendor (of the four pictured) had their pins and you had to go to the different booths to get the pins. Problem is, three of the booths were all out of them. The... See more more

Assorted Pins from...

Created by chocolatechip on 6/22/06

After I started getting into the pin collecting several I decided to go after the vendor pins that were given out. Many were easy to get, but a few had to be traded for. What did I trade for? My personal pin -- the Sock Monkey from my web site... See more more

This is an enlarged image of the sock monkey pin, holding his favorite thing -- a jar of cookies. The pin is actually 1.25" high and limited edition of 100.
