First Craigslist pin transaction for me was about 5 years ago I think. 2 pins for $300 EDBLE and Stellar Wars. The location ended up being literally 1 block from where I was living at the time and the seller turned out to being A former co worker of mine who was downsizing a storage space from his TV repair business that he had closed. Did not know he collected pins all the while I worked with him. After chatting a bit he then says do you want a pole position for $50? Heck yea I do lol.
I told him where I lived and he said let me go get the delivery truck and ill load them up with the fork lift we have and drop them off for you.
