If you would like to get an idea of what the "ready made" caches are like, here is a link to one that I sold locally here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=28503 This should give you a better idea. I am sorry that it took so long to get this up, but I had to get permission from the owner of the cache before I put the info up here. Melissa

Actually, I have sold 3 of them to two people. One is local - in NW Washington and has had a few finds and has gotten really good feedback / responses. On top of that the guy who bought the other 2 (the ones in this discussion) left great feedback, which is available in my feedback file. I hope that helps a little bit.... Melissa

Don't you think that accusing me of bidding on my own auction is going a bit far? If you really think that, and have anything to support such a thing, turn me into Ebay - again. Didn't work the first two time it has happened. Also, if you really think that I rip people off on Ebay please feel free to contact the 1032+ people who have left positive feedback. I do not use a second ID on Ebay - all my buying and selling for the last 2+ Years has been done on one ID. Melissa

Let's see...why don't I tell you exactly what is in it? For a number of reasons, but the main on being I don't want to have to recode HTML every time I run the auction, I keep that in a file and launch it. So, by putting in the things that we have in inventory at all times. Sofrtware is not AOL Discs. The software would be children's titles (obviously the older less expensive stuff) or Mac software that I don't use any more (yep, gasp, used). Other things that could get put in the Cache would be stuff from my other auctions that didn't get any bids, things that I buy for my daughter that she doesn't like, and things bought for our own geocaching. As to shipping, of COURSE you have to pay something for shipping. I state that up front (some sellers don't / can't / won't) so that people know what they are getting into. Or, should I pay for shipping? At $10 I break even - not including the little costs like Ebay Fees, Payment service Fees, things like that. Also, like I noted above the stuff varies in price. I put this auction up for 2 reasons, #1 Geocaching is a fun hobby for myself and my family and I wanted to try and bring it to a wider market. #2 When I went to create my first stash I found it really hard to know what I should put into it - and thought other people would have that same problem. So, I saw a problem, and tried to solve it. The current hit counts are over 1300. I can't say thank you enough!

Hey, Since y'all have been talking about me, I though that I would pop in and say HI! That is my auction that you are discussing (thanks for the bids and the great hit count!). Now, let me clarify a few things: First of all, please realize that I am Female. My bright labels have been brought up a few times. That is so that anyone who accidently runs across them will leave them there - and since most caches are well hidden this is not that much of a factor - oh, and did you know that labels can be removed?? The www.geocache.com is on the can, but SOMEONE turned in the auction for using that URL in the picture, so Ebay has made me change the picture. If you can read the auction it says that the URL is present. All items are new. This is not stuff from "my junk drawer". The big cache has 20 various items, and the smaller one has 15. The Shipping is what I actually pay FedEx - go ahead and try to ship cheaper if you can. Try it with the USPS. I'll post Zip Codes and Weights - so please refrain from making snide comments about the cost of shipping. In other words, there is no "handling" charges. Yes, I do Geocache. Under a different Email so that my daughter's hobby does not suffer from this auction (yes, I did realize there would be those who didn't like it.). To those who bid and viewed the auction, I thank you again, and look forward to doing business! Melissa PS - All other questions can be sent to me via email, or on here. mrdejong1@attbi.com
