How do you get a lot of REAL pins at once for trading in the parks?

You can buy ebay lots, but those tend to have fakes, so unless there is a trustworthy lot seller, where do i get a lot of cheap real pins at once? I'm running low on ones im willing to trade

Always a good question.

It sort of depends on where you are and what you're willing to spend. I know that hot topic & box lunch sell disney pins and often run BOGO sales. Disneyland sells those mystery packs that come with 5 pins per bag which is also a nice way to get some traders. On Whatnot there are a lot of pin sellers who will do $1 starts on pin boards and you can snag pins anywhere from $1-$8 for common traders. Good sellers will show you the backs and have reviews so you know you're not getting scrap.

Could you link the sellers?

@ViciousLady and @Whimsykit You are welcome to discuss individual sellers of pins, but please confine that to PMs or some sort of private messaging between you. Thanks.
