How do pin sellers get their pins?

[ABC_mybb_import19773]

Im just wondering if they actually paid for them or they somehow got them for free.

They use methods such as the phone method, the steal from apple store method, etc.

It's basicly like people are getting WoW Prepaids..

I know some of my friends go into shops like "Media markt" They wrap up the box write up the numbers and then just walk out... There.. free 25£

It's easy to do with RS pins also.

That's how it works in Sweden atleast, i don't know about other countrys.

RS pins takes a little more skill. They are not active until you swipe them through a register.

Some really do just buy them, some do like the apple method, and ya just writing down the code doesn't usually work because 1. You would have to open the packaging enough to see the code 2. The code will not work until paid for 3. Ods are as soon as the buyer goes home you he/she enters the code (so you have like 20 minutes even if they do pick your code)

When I used to sell pins, I'd just use the phones at my school.

I mean the small slab of like paper that covers the card..where I get them you can't see the pin without ripping it partially off

Ahh, well it sucks to be you. I can grab any pin at my local gamestop. Only protection they have is that scratch off stuff. But at my local gamestop, it is hard to be vigilant about it.

Ah, well at all the retailers here we have that(gamestop,cvs,walmart etc) on both the official rs cards and ultimate game cards, or I would just write down a few codes and try them lol.
