Another nice design Tsun..congrats

I feel so bad for me Canada Post must be the slowest mail service in the World.

I ask for some help from TPTB with one of my coins once and they did try and help me out. However, there really wasn't much they could do..they have the same contact information that we have access to. They did try though...

Received second package today from PLNauta. Thank you Mailed: 9 of 9 packages - 16/02/09 Received: 2 of 12 PSU Fan, DresselDragons, PLNauta, The Moop Along, Fossillady, Globy, Crowesfeat30, Avroair, Mauison, The Moops(3), Surteb, Atlantagal

I only have 1 favorite coin....it's the one I happen to be holding at the time

Avalanche coin - any year Joe Frog IceCreamMan Snowmann The 501 Gang SWx4 Pirate Cache Dragons Caching Nerdz Decypher and I can go on and on and on.....

Okay, no hits on the Avalanche coins...not surprised I guess. So if anyone would like to trade for something on my seeking list for those coins I listed below just send me an email.

I use the white forms for all small package mail to the U.S. and International and never had an issue - other than sometimes I have to tell the clerk how much it should cost to send There is one outlet that never fails to try and charge me 2-3x more than they should. Usually to the U.S. it is $2.11 under 100g (1-2 coins) and I think $4.00 (3-4 coins) up to 200g. International is a lot more with the new rates and I've paid from $4.40 to $8.00+ so far.

I just get a stack of the customs forms at the Post Office and fill them out at home when needed. Then when I go in they just fill out the 'greyed' section. Saves a tremendous amount of time at the PO. Now they always ask if I need more forms.

I'm looking for a 2006/07/08 Avalanche coin as well as a Snowmann. You can check my trading list but I haven't kept up with it very well. I also have to trade Puzzle Cache Black Nickel AE Celtic Cross Red/Blue/Green AE (15 made) Phoenix Series AE's Theotokos Crown of Thorns Copper BCGA 2008 Gold (Members Only) Moses (Gold) Pocket Decoder - With poker wheel ET 2008 - Blue/silver, Blue/Gold Tranquility Two Tone Tranquility Dark Edition (Gold) Email my if you would like to try and work out a deal.

Are all names supposed to be in the geocoin addresses spreadsheet? I went to get my fist name - PSU Fan - and can't find it.

Thanks for doing this..it was much less painful than I thought it would be. Once you actually get into it's not that hard at all...and a lot of fun. I did however, miss out on a Brahean coin so if anyone got doubles and would like do make another trade let me know Thanks again E&Cplus3 for all the work and the very easy and smooth process you made this..

I guess I may be in the minority but I would rather NOT wait. I read the rules... I lived up to the deadlines...and there was plenty of time to do so regardless of what came up in life. I have a large family, work is a nightmare and lots of distractions too. However, I made a commitment and knew I had to fulfill it or send a note that I can't make it - easy as that. It always amazes me how often people sign up for something and then don't/can't keep up their end. Always allowing these extensions just mitigates the trend for people to miss the deadlines - in my opinion. Sorry, but I've heard this record too many times and think that if people can't live up to schedules, then the rest of us shouldn't have to pay for that. At the very least people should have the courtesy for a 2 minute email to say they can't make it or need a bit more time. Next week is going to be a nightmare for me and I was certainly hoping to get a jump on all this.

We will be praying for you and your quick return to the forums Joni.

I just sent a new want list. Only 2 small revisions needed.

Easter Cacher - 150AG, 75BN, 25AS Jukebox Memories - 150Gold, 75Nickel, 25BN FTF Christmas - 150BN, 75Nickel, 25Gold The Puzzle Cache - 150Gold, 75Nickel, 25BN

No regrouping for me..

Now there is a truly rare and special coin!!!

By bringing in registries, rules and committees and what ever else, all you do is create overhead, hard feelings and possibly drive out the good and honest vendors/traders. The folks that are not on the up-and-up are going to find other ways to do things and won't participate anyway. And I'll bet regardless of a poor vendor rating, if they put out a nice coin, people would still buy it. So all you will accomplish is a sort of chastisement of the vendors that are already doing a great job for us. My feeling is that if you want to trade with me great, if you don't great. If you want to buy one of our coins great, if not then that's fine too...but I don't have the time or energy to spend convincing people to do so. When I first started coming to these forums I used to post quite a bit. Then a few bad things happened but I felt I couldn't say anything because omg, we're all cachers and cachers are good people so you can't say anything bad about anyone. Then some brave souls started a 'Bad Vendor' thread and while it got very heated and personal at times, which was unfortunate, the real reason it did so is because of the previous silence. All the pent up anger came out and it was like a flood. Speaking out allowed better understanding of the hidden world and the true penalty will be reduced sales for those vendors in the future. So rather than more rules to keep things 'nice', I think what is really needed is a forum that promotes honest, open dialogue and isn't afraid to allow slightly 'off topic' banter topics from time to time. The worst thing that happens to these forums is the silence it tends promote. Why can't we discuss delinquent vendors and customers? Why can't we discuss non-trackable coins? Why can't we discuss pathtags and yet can discuss wooden nickels? I think before we start adding more rules and more restrictions, maybe we need to fix some of the ones we currently have. Less rules and overhead is needed, not more. By allowing open discussion, the good vendors benefit and poor don't. I'm tired so I hope this rambling makes sense...

Sheesh, what arrogance... A simple "thank you" would have been sufficient. If you ordered Lady Lucks with the Titanics, they will ship when the Lady Luck coins arrive. That is correct, however, Mustang Joni is not the voice of GeocoinDesign.com. If you have any questions about that, you can email me privately at info@geocoindesign.com. Regards, Jim

FOR TRADE: 1 Celtic Cross Red/Shiny Gold AE geocoin (only 15 made)...in return looking for 3 Polished Gold Portuguese Guitar (LE) The Celtic Cross is a rare coin right?

So do I just go ahead and add coins to the spreadsheet and does it matter if others are in there at the same time? I noticed someone else was adding coins as I was going to try. I wasn't sure if I would end up messing things up so I didn't even try.
