| Olympic Pin Trading Dos and Don’ts |
|
ALWAYS...
Be fair. If you come across a must-have, be prepared to cough up an equally good pin. Make personal connections. Eye-to-eye contact and a smile go a long way. Encourage young traders. Take a moment to give advice to or make a small trade with kids, even if they have little to offer in exchange. Collect stories. Pinning a memory to a pin makes them both more special. NEVER... Interrupt a trade in progress. Allow the traders to conclude their negotiations. Wear pins you won’t trade. If you consider a pin part of your permanent collection, either leave it at home or stash it out of sight. Trade with someone you don’t trust. Not only might you give up a diamond for a rhinestone, but your reputation with other traders might suffer by association. Pass off fakes. If you’ve landed a knockoff, eat the loss and swallow your pride.     |
Trade in a calm, friendly manner. A pushy overbearing demeanor turns off other traders.| < Prev |
