  1. QUOTE: Guys... I have a "lot" of coins that I would like to sell. This forum isn't very "buyer-friendly". Has anybody ever thought of opening up a geocoin auction page on Facbook? I have recently become addicted to disc golf and we have a "dollar disc golf auction" on facebook. It has a realy nice system to it. If I created the page, would anybody like to help admin it?

     

    Actually I thought the point of this board was TRADING not selling, although some of us are certainly very willing to buy as I have very little to "trade" with, but my point is that this board was never intended to be to be a buyer-friendly auction site. But I'm certainly willing to go elsewhere to purchase--I visit the e-place often!

     

    However, I don't have a Facebook account so can't go there.

  2. I have hosted three CITO events and am planning my fourth; it's an annual event for me. Here on Guam we gather, sign the log, have raffle prizes, play a few games, clean the park/beach, and then have potluck. Everyone seems to have a good time! I contact our local EPA office for trash bags and logs, the local parks and rec waive the pavilion rental for us and sometimes I can make arrangements for the Mayor's office to haul the trash to the dump!

     

    I also make sure we separate the recyclables from the trash. I haul out the recyclables.

     

    What I'm looking for now are ideas for "event games"--I'm out of anything fresh and fun. Any ideas?!

  3. I am looking for the Space shuttle Geodesic Geocoin. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell?

    That coin is still available for sale here;

    WONDERFUL!

    Thanks!

    Not sure if you are also looking for the commemorative space shuttle geocoin but it can also be found at the same site;

    seems it actually out of stock there!

  4. After discovering that there are two different Union Jack Coins, I proceeded to order what I thought was the black nickel version that is posted on the Swag place. However, when I opened the package today, I was sent another nickel version coin. Instead of contacting the Swag place and trying to have it corrected, I decided to try my luck here first. If there is anyone who has an extra black nickel version that would be willing to trade for the nickel Union Jack, please contact me. I would rather trade with a fellow collector.

     

    no. but I also now have a second nickel version! Let's put them up on the eplace and see whose sells for more! :laughing:

  5. My first UJ mask from the Swag place (pre-ordered) had the black nickel on the face. After hearing there might be another one, I went back there and ordered another from them. This second one does NOT have the black nickel.

     

    I also read here that there were some for sale at the eplace. Looking at the pictures there, they appeared to also be nickel on the face not black; so I bought one of those too. It also does NOT have black on its face.

     

    There are definitely two different UJ coins and the swag place has had both.

     

    Anyone have an explanation!?

  7. Hi,

     

    I am new to caching and am having great fun so far. I am based in the north west of the UK and am slowly reading my way through all the helpful forum posts. Is this the only UK forum for GCers? Or are there more I've been overlooking?

    Also I read in different cache logs that cachers meet other cachers whilst out caching. This sounds like an odd question even as I write it, but how do you introduce yourself or identify yourself as a cacher? I mean unless you recognise someone from a profile pic, everyone who passes is potentially a muggle. Short of wearing a geocaching.com t-shirt, is there a more subtle way you guys identify yourself as a geocacher?

     

    There have been a few times that I've run into other cachers while looking for a cache and my favorite line to "introduce" myself is, "So. Found it yet?" That always makes folks smile! Just this summer I used it on a young family looking for their very first cache! They were amazed to meet someone with over 600 finds! It was great!

  8. I have watched these coins on ebay and think there are two different Union Jack coins. One is gold with black nickel on the face highlights and the other is gold with nickel highlights. Can someone tell me why the difference?

    I may be wrong (I often am), but I don't think there are two different versions. I think the pics on ebay from one particular seller are just a bit washed out, making the black nickel look lighter.

     

    I confirmed with one seller that it is black nickel on the face highlights like his picture shows. The other sellers have not yet gotten back with me.

     

    One of the other sellers got back to me and said that the face highlights on his coin are nickel. Soooo looks like a black nickel on gold coin and a nickel on gold coin. Was one specific for the Olympics or something? There are just too many variations of these....

     

    Ladybee, did you find this brushed nickel UK coin at the Swag place?

    I found one on ebay. A little pricey, too. Don't have the coin in hand yet, but the picture clearly shows the face with nickel (not black nickel) on it. We'll see when it comes! Don't know why they are different and can't find an explanation. The one with black nickel on the face is still on sale at geoswag.com.

     

    I'm still not sure that the one at the swag place is different from what I already have, but I'll gamble the $ on it and IF it is a repeat I'll just donate at the next geoevent in my area.

  10. I am making my regular plea for help finding the Mardi Gras Venetian Mask round sample geocoin and the red pin. I don't if it's activated! Thanks :)

     

    if you're referring to the round pin on my post, it's not a geocoin...it's a pin made for the event that was held in pittsburgh

     

    ILYK

     

    AHA! that's what it is! So, I'm looking for two pins the red mask pin, think it was from a coin club site, and the round Pittsburgh event pin! Any for sale??

     

    Yeppers! Those are the ones I'm still hoping to get my hands on! Interested in selling??

    the pittsburgh event was sponsored by the DresselDragons...you might try contacting them...the event was also where i got the coin club pin

    Are you talking about the round pin in drneal's picture? And the small red and blue pin in the bottom right of his picture? Neither one of these were trackable. The two small pins (masks) came with the club coin and the Geoswag event versions. I had never seen the round one either, but drneal said it was a pin given out at the Pittsburgh event.

     

    Yep those are the ones I'm looking for! I was joking about the "activation".

    :)
