Disney Pin Serial Number Search
Re: how to determine pin value ebay is the best place. It's the only place I know of to check values. Go to the advanced search engine and place your search and make sure to only include closed listings only. I always check my pins against pinpics after each trading day and set. To spot scrappers, since the information is unauthenticated by Disney,.

I've bought pins from ebay and most were legit, but a few were fake. Just as a precaution and my most important rule: I will not buy a pin unless the seller posts a picture of the front and the back of the pin so I can verify the Disney trademark and/or serial number. Also, a seller that is selling a large volume of the same pin is also a major red flag and likely fakes. Lastly, 'Fantasy' pins are fan-created pins and are not authentic.
A lot of them look great and kudos to the artists, but many sellers can have misleading descriptions to sell them through the appearance of authenticity. If you are paying $1 or less a pin, they're fake. You can tell because they are mystery lots that allow you to buy a large amount of pins.
BUT if you are strategic you can get authentic pins on Ebay for about $2.50 per pin. I actually just got a 6 pack for $10. Mine were a pack of vinylmation pins that originally came with a mystery pin as well. The seller took out the mystery pin then listed the rest of the wrapped pack on ebay. A great deal for me as I will just trade them, and the seller got the mystery pin they wanted. A win all around.
Also, cast members are sooo much happier when you trade interesting and authentic pins. Please, pay a bit more and help to revive the old days pin trading culture. I know, I wish disney would say something to people trading these pins. Many don't know. I didn'tx at first I thought they were just worn down because of so much trading.:/ It's so unfortunate because it really isn't a huge cost difference to buy nice real ones. Also, if you live in SoCal or Orlando area, the Disney outlets sometimes get really cheap pins there. I bought a pack of Cars pins (in Star Wars outfits) for like $1.50 a pin and all the cast members were so stoked when I traded them.
Those huge lots of pins are cheap and seem too good to be true pretty much are. While not technically counterfeit, they're what's known as 'scrapers'. Most of them have coloring that's off or sharp edges or something else that caused them to get rejected and not be sold. While you can technically still trade them, it's really frowned upon and not a good thing to do bc you're putting crappy reject pins into the trading system. So I'd avoid the big lots of 25 or 50.
