    Pins Instead Of Coins

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Sorry, this isn't from Passing Wind. I forgot to log him out before I replied.

    Thanks for the great ideas. I will definitely be designing some milestone pins.

     

    My San Diego and Bushwhacking pins are scheduled to be delivered by the end of October. I'll release the order page as soon as they arrive.

     

    1" San Diego pins - $3.50 - 250 made

    1" Bushwhacking pins - $4 - 100 made

     

    I all likihood I will not be getting any more of these made. I'd like to keep them rare and thus more valuable. Please don't bug me about the price, even the generic, mass produced Geocaching.com pins are going for $3+.

     

    I will also set up a page to order personal and club pins. It maybe possible to get trackable pins as well. I may make the hubbie (Passing Wind) my whipping boy and look into it for me. I'm trying to envision a good design for his pin, which will inevitably be made.

    I was just wondering who was making your pins...I have been toying with having some pins made as a sig. item and the prices you have listed are much higher than what I was quoted...

    Wyoming Geocoin

    in Trackables

    Posted

    This is so awesome. At this rate the Wyoming geocoin will be prepaid by everybody on the list before anybody even sees the artwork. Then, when the artwork is finally released sometime in the next decade, it will probably look horrible and everybody will want to back out of their orders. 

     

    I am not sure that ShowStop understands that this is not a Pre-Pay list. This is simply a waiting list to be on the pre-pay list. If the coin is not pleasing, we are under no obligation to purchase. If Showstop looked closely, it would have been noted that certain people were only interested IF the coin were gc trackable.

     

    I didn't see Showstop on the list; so what is the compaint?

    I relly don't see it as a complaint...I see it as a concern...the same concern that made me get out of the coin club I was in...they buy anything that comes out...it's very simple if you think about it...1k coins spoken for and still no art work...they may not be ready to be paid for yet but why would anyone let that many people put their name on a waiting list without at the very least a hand drawing of what the coin might look like...this is just not a good way to do it...

     

    I'm getting ready to have some coins made myself but I will post the art work at the same time I announce the coins...just my 2cents

     

    And you are correct before you say anything my name isn't on the list either...and for that very reason...

    This happens to be my favorte time of year...as an avid geocacher as well as an avid hunter I combine the two into one trip...I try to find 2 or 3 unfound caches in an area that has fair deer and elk hunting and go for it...I personaly don't wear much hunter orange...I'm just funny that way...the joke around here has always been if they can see you than your a better target...I truely believe that sometimes...Mondays the day and I can't wait...

    Bugs Logged But Not Moved.

    Logging a bug that was taken to an Event isn't really a big deal I don't think, I have done it...BUT...I am losing intrest in TB's simply because of the ones that will email everyone to get the tracking number just so they can log the TB just for another number on their stat page...I mean come on people if your going to log a TB you should at the very least lay eyes on it...I have a simple rule...I won't log a TB unless I hold in in my own 2 hands...off soap box...

    I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I just started downloading my waypoings to an SD card for my Meridian Gold and it works well doing that...the problem is last night while caching I figured out that not all the waypoints show up...I just did another download thinking maybe I haden't done a download since these new caches came out and they still don't show up...

     

    I have removed the waypoimts from the card and did a download directly to the GPSr and they show up that way so it's something I'm doing wrong when sending to the card...

     

    Can someone please help?
