Quoted from mbaumle:I don't mind receiving them, and it's flattering when I do.
I feel the same way. I can only remember one Pinsider sending me a PM asking about a trade, which I didn’t take him up on, but it made me feel good that someone was interested enough in a couple of my pins to want them.
I did get my Hot Tip EM that way. After not being able to get enough of the one at ReplayFX two years in a row, I sent PMs to Pinsiders from NY to MO asking if they would sell or trade theirs. One response was “Not unless I find a better one,” but one owner in IN responded positively, so I bought my favorite EM!
