Quote from Arthur & Trillian posted log and statement ... "Guess we'll wait for them to show up on ebay. " Look...you may not think I am very nice and that's fine. I was not put on this Earth to please everyone. THANK YOU for exposing yourself to those who frequent and participate in this forum ... you being a person who has NEVER purchased nor contributed money for even ONE Travel Bug Dog Tag, nor has place ANY caches for others to enjoy and discover, one who brings NEGATIVITY to this thread, is a poor example and a non contributor of what Helen and I represent in the GIVING and SHARING of this WONDERFUL concept called geocaching! We feel that this thread has been taken over by the minority and the good is getting buried due to it's length in nature. We wouldn't be disappointed if the MODERATORS delete this thread ... it is becoming pretty personal. Helen and I certainly are not perfect and we know we are unable to please all of you ... but we lead with our hearts and not with our swords! We also are GREAT and DILIGENT warriors and will continue to forge ahead in a POSITIVE way and manner. WE HAVE SOME VERY GOOD NEWS !!! We are PROUD to announce that we have sold over 100 coins here on the forum ... THANK YOU all loyal and interested geocachers for your INCREDIBLE support! Tomorrow we are starting a BANNER AD CAMPAIGN on geocaching.com for those who geocache throughout the world!! Wouldn't it be GREAT if some of the other coin folks would spend the money to support Groundspeak and geocaching.com in having their own BANNER AD campaign!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! SMILE and the WORLD SMILES with you! Tommy Trojan + Helen of Troy = 42 years of a PRECIOUS and AMAZING marriage - FIGHT ON!! **Who would think that criticism would be present during this time of GIVING and SHARING!**

Arthur & Trillian posted log and statement ... "Guess we'll wait for them to show up on ebay. " YOU and that statement are really out of line ... why would you bring such a negative to this thread when you don't even know what you are talking about!! We don't even place our items or caches within the locale here in So Cal ... so what do you mean "rules"? Placing items for almost 3 years now and losing AND REPLACING 60+ items monthly (yes nearly 2 per day), over several months and 43 caches destroyed ... we feel confident in knowing that there are certain high risk areas, caches and cachers ... so we request that our items not be placed at events, multi-stage or remote area caches ... it is printed on almost all tags attached to the items, in the bug logs and on every THANK YOU email we send to those who GRAB, RETRIEVE and PLACE ... to prevent continual heavy loss in our locale, we now use DISTRIBUTION HUBS throughout the world in which packets are sent and placed throughout the distributors area. We have a excellent following of HUNDREDS of WONDERFUL cachers all over and for you to have the nerve to being your smut to this thread is BAD ... you certainly are not very nice! Tommy Trojan says - FIGHT ON!

WOW ... you are AMAZING! We certainly would not want ANYONE to be in doubt or unhappy with our contributions to geocaching, children, families, new cachers .. THANK YOU for not "taking a chance!" Sorry we have not enough to your liking!! We have only released 100 of the coins into the wilds in the past 3 months but keep checking around and soon we will be reaching that 1000 count (god willing!) You must be influenced by a very small minority in that group ... we receive between 150-250 POSITIVE emails DAILY from all over the world ... and proud to say we reply to ALL! TT + HT = 42 - FO!

Yes, signature lines in the forums are pretty wide opened. Links to commerical websites in cache logs are not permitted. wient.com is NOT COMMERICAL ... it is my domain and my site. My personal coin is the total site ... consist of just the coin page which was designed by me for being able to use paypal as a direct link. Come on ... why don't YOU break down and BUY ONE COIN ... make someone HAPPY!

WONDERFUL ... HAPPY you like it! We have been met with such FABULOUSLY POSITIVE RESULTS with the coin ... we have had ZERO negative feedback ... that is AWESOME - THANK YOU AGAIN! This thread is still active, so Helen and I want to take a moment and try to explain on a couple of subjects. On the subject of “agreement not to resell” --------------------------------------------------- There has been a lot of discussion regarding our request for purchasers NOT TO RESELL … we ask purchasers not to put our items out for profit. From your requests to purchase, we are offering ONE COIN per person … our reasoning is that we want to GIVE and SHARE to geocaching and for what Jeremy and staff has intended. So some have asked, … “What if it is resold, what are we going to do about it?” That is simply answered … we will be disappointed. Helen and I did not come into this WONDERFUL game to bring or create NEGATIVITY … we came as friends, we hope to contribute to the GOODNESS of geocaching and we will continue to strive in that direction … so as to recourse of someone selling our coin … there will be none initiated by us. ----------------------------------------------------------- The latest smear we are experiencing is posting a note on all events this coming weekend. ----------------------------------------------------------- I do agree with some of you and believe it was I who made a mistake. We were not aware of any rules against posting to an event cache. This morning I thought with it being near the holidays, it would be nice to offer up a couple of things … 1. Wishing a successful and good event. 2. Helen and I wishing all attendees a Happy Holiday Season 3. PERIOD! Here is the email I sent … AND SINCE HAVE DELETED ON ALL CACHE LOGS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a GREAT event! HAPPY HOLIDAYS & SEASON GREETINGS! Tommy Trojan, Helen of Troy and All the Trojan Travelers _________________________ Tommy Trojan Geocoins - http://www.wient.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Now some of you have made reference to this as being SPAM, against the rules, tasteless and whatever else you choose to smear at us. Our statement of “Tommy Trojan Geocoins – http://www.wient.com” is a signature at the end of our emails … just like you have in many cases here on the forum along with yahoo, hotmail, gmail etc. We truly do apologize for any manner in which we have offended you or been offensive in any way. So there you have it folks … we meant GOOD THINGS and WELL WISHES. Take it or leave it …just like our coin.

I don't think it is very appropriate to accuse Tommy Trojan of trying to Finance his venture by selling this coin. First he is offering them for sale because people keep asking him. Second take a lot at Tommy Trojan Profile You will see that they own 675 travel bugs. Take a min to do the math on that. not sure what it cost them to buy them but if they were $5 each that is $3,375. So Honestly I think I would encourage people to buy a coin to show thier support for some people that have given so to Geocaching. SO SUPPORT GEOCACHING! SUPPORT TOMMY TROJAN FIGHT ON! ORDER NOW CLICK HERE! BTW it looks like the price has gone up to $15. I REALLY hope this is in response to all the people in this post that did not like the price. I am going to order one right now. THANKS TOMMY TROJAN for doing this coin and all your other significant contributions to geocaching. Hello folks ... just caught up with the new replies! Helen and I truly and sincerely THANK ALL OF YOU ... yes the good and the not so good replies ... we appreciate you taking your time to express your feelings ... that is why we live in the GREATEST COUNTRY in the world ... our freedom of speech is PRICELESS. It is not always what we want to hear ... but it is YOUR thoughts ... WE RESPECT YOUR VIEWS! First and foremost ... we THANK all of you that have moved our travel bugs and coins ... as we have stated ... due to our inability to actually cache like most of you, our next best way to contribute is to do our best to put SMILES on the faces of CHILDREN, FAMILIES and NEW CACHERS ... try to create a POSITIVE impact in their adventures ... through the logs of our mutual little items and coins!! We hope to place 700 tags before ending with new travel bug tags ... we don't feel we can do a proper job in keeping track of any more than 700 ... we do try to reissue those MIA on a monthly basis and have been proud to say that all but 100 stay in circulation ... so it's really not that we have purchased 700 but that we have kept most in circulation ... some have been replaced 7 times! Currently we have close to 100 coins (remember our goal is 1000) in the wilds for ALL to enjoy ... you good folks have shown your appreciation by caring and MOVING all of them ... so far, no losses!! THANK YOU! The original PCxxx codes ICON for some mystical reason has disappeared from gc.com ... we have an inquiry and request to fix the glitch created by them ... they have not replied as of this moment. ------------------------------------------------- I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS OUR COIN ... THE PRICE, THE THEME AND THE PRINTED TEXT ON THE EDGE. ------------------------------------------------ Originally we had no desire or thoughts of SELLING any coins ... our desire is to place 1000 into the wilds. Due to the request of collectors, supporters who have moved our items for almost 3 years, and gift givers, we were asked by THEM if a purchase could be made ... thus our reasoning for ONLY ONE per person. **The agreement of NOT FOR RESALE ... is a "word" agreement in which we only hope will stand. Our reasoning for this is to try and eliminate eBay sellers making a large profit from our sale. We have donated only ONE coin to a group ... a group that Helen and I are very fond of ... there was an auction for the coin to help the group ... it brought $50.01 That alarmed us as to reselling ... so therefore we ask owners of the coin NOT to resell and request their agreement or word to comply. The verbiage on the edge is to request folks to NOT KEEP the coin, but MOVE it for all to enjoy ... yes it is the original property of Tommy Trojan, but we have no intention of doing anything to anyone ... remember, we are in this game for the GOOD of GIVING & SHARING ... nothing else. -------------------------- THE THEME of the coin ... yes we did ask the designer NOT to use anything relating to the University of Southern California ... to which he graciously has stated in this thread. There is no violation of any copyright on the coin. The names used are Helen and my username ... the helmet is from the historical period in the which Trojan Warriors used as part of their armor during the 10 year war with Greeks in the land of Troy. The back of the coin is symbolic of geocaching as well as the tracking information. FIGHT ON! is the battle cry of our mission to carry on with the GOODNESS of what Jeremy and staff strive to have and do. ------------------------- The price of the coin is what we so choose ... originally it was $10 plus shipping, we then found shipping worldwide and the packing materials were pretty costly, so we decided on $13 which included all shipping and handling. We are now asking $15 because of our preparation and time. We also feel it is okay if you choose not to buy one ... but please keep in mind that if really wasn't designed for everyone nor for profit ... but we would be HONORED if you wanted one for your collection ... or you would like to give one as a gift!! --------------- FINALLY ... we want to THANK Oakcoins for their help and PRICELESS SUPPORT, GRIDLOX for helping us design and making this possible, and most importantly ... WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE SUPPORT, not only here on this forum but for MOVING our items in the field!! YOU make Helen and I feel like we are there with you!!!! SINCERELY, Tommy + Helen = 42 wonderful years of marriage - FIGHT ON!

Just stopping by to wish ALL a GOOD VETERAN'S DAY and THANK those who gave for our FREEDOM!! Also we appreciate all your orders on the coins ... we are GRATEFUL for your support! We are running VERY LOW on available coins ... however we are expecting another bunch in a week or so. Stop by for a visit and view of the coin at: http://www.wient.com All the best from Tommy Trojan, Helen of Troy and All the Trojan Travelers - FIGHT ON! _______________________ Tommy Trojan Geocoins - http://www.wient.com

Helen and I appreciate you informing us of getting "hosed" but we feel we got the BEST DEAL anywhere! Oakcoins bent over backwards to help us ... the design, the quality proofs, the sincere hands on follow up and no nonsense speed in getting them to us! Also I want to THANK the two brothers for making our coin icon and the titling through gc.com possible! We believe that these folks TRULY care about geocaching and are SUPER contributors to the concept and principals of what Jeremy has intended geocaching to mean. Due to our exposure in geocaching with our 3 years of THANKING and replying to ALL logs of our mutual little pals (travel bugs) and items ... Oakcoins searched US out to offer their services as well as contributing merchandise to us!! I think them "GIVING" to us was AWESOME and we feel that it's not HOW MUCH ... it's WHAT YOU GET for your money that makes the difference! We have been approached by several vendors and we are HAPPY Oakcoins exists for our requests and services. We will be ending this thread but creating a new one for those who are interested in purchasing ONE coin for their collection. We totally appreciate ALL of your responses here in this thread and hope that we have not offended anyone ... our intention and hope is to do our best to make a difference in this FABULOUS game called GEOCACHING! THANK YOU ... Tommy + Helen = 42 (GREAT years of marriage) - FIGHT ON!

THANK YOU ... those are VERY KIND words and Helen and I appreciate it! We look forward to serving you!! TT + HT = 42 - FO!
