Obtaining AUS Pinnys...

I don't frequent this forum often as I only just recently got into Pinny trading (I spent 350$ in the past 4 days). Not sure if it's appropriate to post about this, sorry if this should have gone into the pin trading post!
So I'm in Seattle, and will be during in Seattle during AUS. However, there is nothing I want more than to have my hands on a PAX AUS set, and a 10 year anniversary pinny in particular... And it seems I'm not alone here, as several Enforcers have also expressed interest in getting an AUS set. So I'm wondering if it's not too much of a stretch for anyone travelling from Seattle or who will be going to South to buy me a bunch of sets.. Like... I dunno. 10, 20?
You'll get to keep the free merch pins!

Trade me pins! - https://pinnypals.com/pals/TheAggroCraig
First of all, welcome to the world of Pinny Arcade, we're always glad to see the hobby grow around these parts. That's a PAX level amount of cash to drop, but seems like it would make for a good start for a collection! It would probably do better to have put this in the trading post, but I doubt anyone will be offended. Picking up ten to twenty sets(I assume you mean the Aus 14 core set and not the entirety of the pins available at PAX Aus this year!) is, as TheAggroCraid said, a bit of a stretch. I understand very well the fervor with which the hobby can overtake you, and the exuberance with which you're going at establishing your pin collection, but coming in that strong with that tall of an order doesn't give you a huge chance at success.
I highly recommend giving the first post here http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/187709/pinny-pal-community-thread-2-0-please-read-the-first-post/p1 a read for kind of the general feel of the community. It is unfortunate that AUS is so close so you're not likely to be able to get on board with a Pin Pal Group; it is conversely fortunate that you're getting into the hobby before Aus starts so you do have a much better opportunity to at least get one or two sets for your collection.
One small semantic housekeeping bit, Aus is next week, and you mentioned South, so I assume that you just typo'd "south" when you meant "Aus"
I wish you the best in completing your collection, and hope you get every pin you want. Once again, welcome!

In all seriousness. Huge shoutout to this dude. He lent me a pin during prime and now this. I owe him my left arm now.
Remember when I said I dropped 350 in four days? Double/triple that

Yes, he offered to buy me 22 AUS sets. If this goes through, I'm more than thankful.
At the end of the day, there are just way way more people here in the US wanting pins from the Australia show than there are Aussies looking for the opposites. This makes sense, as there are three shows worth of people here all looking for pins from the one show there. Inside the US, the pins and traders are pretty mobile between the shows, so the pins get around a lot better -- but that ocean throws a huge wrench in it.
At the end of the day, if we can find an Aussie member for our pinpal group i'll be super happy, and if not... I hope ebay is kind :?

Sets are going to be somewhere between 3 and 5 per purchase, and I'm sure that frequent repeated visits will set off suspicions.

Sometimes I ask people in line to buy me pins and I pay them back afterwards. Perhaps that's worth a shot?
Yeah the 10 year pin was nearly impossible to get at Pax East this past year. I'll cut my losses and hopefully trade for that one. Still would want the core set if anybody would like to help. (Not trying to be too beggy)
