    Selling off all coins

    in Trackables

    Posted · Edited by yankeepride

    I don't really cache much anymore, and with the stupid furlough am cleaning out stuff to sell off.

    Here are some links to eBay that I've posted, and am going through more / will keep this updated.

    All activated coins are in my possession.

    Caches In Need Of Adoption

    in Northeast

    Posted

    I have three caches (GC2GVHP), (GC2GVHD), and (GC2GVK2) located in NJ's Round Valley State Park, and I don't plan on filling out the forms to keep up with the new state park caching policy since I live an hour away now. If anyone would like to adopt them, or wants to pick up the containers and use them somewhere else for their own cache, please do so and post a log so I can either give it up or archive.

    Thanks,

    Also, stop by an event, and see about caching with another cacher to get the hang of it. If it weren't for Dale n Barb in Florida when we started, noticing our 4 straight DNF logs after our first find, we would have given up quickly.

    Well, glad that cooler heads prevailed and this was archived, so thanks to the CO for allowing the overall GC community to weigh in on this. As for the sock beating, we might actually have to do that on video if you come to an event. I think if we got a bunch of the stuffed animal TBs together, that it would make for some great YouTube content on the NNJC website.

     

    As for the sense of humor, I do second Brian's comment about taking it well, and I commend you for that. I certainly hope the "dumber and dumber" title of this thread was not taken as a comment on the CO (since I don't know you), and was intended for the choice of hide location. As much as I am one to be loud, at times, in voicing my opinion on negative things, I'd like to think I balance it with positives when things are done well. I'm really, really pleased that instead of copping an FU attitude toward a mostly-negative reaction to the cache, you let us convince you that this isn't an overall benefit to caching in our area. For that reason alone, I salute you (for what that's worth), and look forward to your future caching endeavors in our area.

    I was very grateful for the photo, otherwise I would have ended up wasting one of my lunch hours making a run over here. For those who found it, I can't blame them for logging the find, but as members of a largely self-regulating group, we owe it to each other to send up the signal flares when we know that 99% have no real interest (in fact, are disgusted) by ridiculous behavior like this.

     

    Here's something to keep in mind - given the description and terrain/difficulty, this could easily attract someone who is brand new to caching. Think they'd stay on as a cacher if this was their first exposure?

     

    Anyone close enough to this thing to get the number off of it and get the company to demand removal? That would take the burden out of the reviewers' hands.

    I recently moved, and can't for the life of me figure out the bookmark for the online doc that has mailing addresses (for things such as those lovely mysters coins we are blessed with from time to time). Can someone head me in the right direction to update my info?

    Thanks.

    Hi guys! Hope you are doing well down there in MI. I'm sure you don't remember us, but my wife and I were the ones across from the park in Rockledge that you helped out with finds #2 - #5 when you saw our DNFs as newbies. Well, we're up in NJ now and just over 1600 finds, and I would bet we would have quit on this sport early if not for your help and guidance.

     

    I'm going to be buying a couple sets of these coins, they are awesome! Hope your store is doing well, and thanks for running a great caching organization down there!

    I just got a normal 3-ring binder and some of these:

     

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=250307736069

     

    They work great for the 2" coin flips. Others are a little loose and will slide out sometimes.

     

    Forgot to add a picture.

    I use Case-It binder but use baseball card pages instead. I use very thin foam and cut the shape of the coin into the foam, fit the coin into the foam and place the foam into the baseball card page. This decreases the coin from sliding out, and you can place any size coin into a baseball card page.

     

    I have dozens, if not hundreds, of these 9-pocket baseball card pages, that used to house my once-considerable card collection. If anyone is interested in obtaining a bunch of them, all I'd ask in return in enough money to cover shipping. Let me know if you want to clear some space in my desk cabinet.

     

    *** Oops - just noticed that I replied to the wrong post. What I have is NOT!!! what is in the picture of the post I have quoted here. They are 9-pocket pages used for holding sports cards. ***
