Smile and talk to the person you want to trade with if you speak the same language. Find out their name and where they are from.
Even if you don’t speak their language, you can still communicate and trade pins by smiling, pointing, and nodding or shaking your head.
Always be polite, even if other people aren’t.
If you see another pin trader, ask if you can look at their pins. If you see a pin you want, just say, "I see a pin I like. Do you see anything of mine you like?"
When you are looking at another trader's pins and don't see anything of interest to you, don't insult them by saying things like, “All the pins you have are junk,” or "I don’t like any of your pins," or, “Your pins aren’t worth anything.” Instead you can say something like, "You have some nice pins, but I don’t see anything I can use right now,” or, “I want to look around a little more before I decide.”
If the other person has a pin you want but they don't want any of your pins, ask them what they want in trade. Then you can go and try to trade for the pin they want, and go back and trade with them.
Sometimes if someone really wants a pin, you can trade with them, even if they don’t really have something you want, just to make them happy.
Always say, “Thank you,” to the person for letting you look at their pins, or for trading with you.
