  1. When using the geocaching dashboard, it will always try and point you to the nearest cache. This can be a problem when trying to navigate to coords of a multi or mystery cache that you input manually. The way I have found around this problem is to put in your new coords, hit go, then when it takes you to the map screen, hit the back arrow and choose the compass page instead of the map page. The compass page will direct you to the new coords you entered

  2. I am not sure that anyone is ready to buy the whole lot. Personally I don't collect all sorts of geocoins, I limit my collection to a theme.

     

    You have some interesting coins on that list, so if you have the time to deal with individual purchases, you might make more money selling those separately first. The remaining coins could easily go into grab bags of 5-20 coins. At least that's how I would do it.

     

    This seems to be my best option. I have had several offers on individual coins, and if I'm unable to unload them in one lot I will sell off the ones I have offers on and do some grab bags on the rest. I appreciate everyone's feedback and offers so far and will keep you all posted.

  3. Thanks for the feedback so far. I am still on the fence on whether or not to part with them, but I can post a list for you all to look at and hopefully get more advice. That being said, I think I would prefer to sell them together as a lot instead of individually. Like wmpastor said, I may not make as much on them but it would be hard for me to work full time and sort hundreds of packages in the evening for shipping.

     

    Here is a link to a google document with all my coins. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsG7kQCW-9DIdEp0dHlpRk5DdXZaUS1kQVVjdTdFZXc&usp=sharing

  4. Hi all, I've been a long term lurker to these forums without many posts but thought I could use some expert advice. I've recently had some expenses come up and was debating on if I should sell my geocoin collection to help with them. The reason I ask is many of them are special to me and would be hard to part with, but I would be willing to do so if it would cover the bills. I'm sure I could come up with another solution, but this just seemed to be the quickest one.

     

    I have about 225-230 trackable and unactivated coins in my collection. Would it be reasonable to expect around $2000 for them? I realize that some are obviously much more valuable than others, I'm just looking for a ballpark figure.

     

    Also, if I were to sell them would it be better to list them individually or in one big lot? Any comments or input would be appreciated

  5. I noticed someone reported a similar problem in the "Bug Reporting" forum

    It seems there is a compatibility issue when using IE10 as your web browser. Try using a different browser and see if that works for you

     

    Edited to remove broken link. Can't seem to insert the link at this time, its early and my brain is a little slow. I'm sure some kind soul will be along shortly who can post the link

  6. While this is a coin instead of a TB it still has a fun mission to accomplish. http://coord.info/TB2VQJB

     

    This is a place we have always wanted to visit and we are actually racing it to see if we can make it to the destination before the coin does. We are still a couple years away from being able to make the journey, so its still possible that we could be beaten there

  7. Is that the one with an acorn on one side? If it is, I have one I might be willing to trade. Send an email through my profile with a list of your traders if you are interested. I don't remember the metal it is but can check when I get home in a few hours

  8. The best thing you could probably do would be to message the owner and see what they would prefer. As a trackable owner myself I wouldn't mind you holding onto it for a while if you sent me a message with your intents so that I knew you weren't just hoarding it. Everyone is different though and they may want it dropped right away. There's no harm in asking what they would like

  9. Another thing to consider is that while the owner may be inactive, there may be other cachers who have that TB on their watch list to follow its travels. They might be disappointed to see its travels stopped just because the owner no longer caches.

     

    I would encourage you to attempt to repair it if possible, and if not, to place it in another cache as it is, as long as it doesn't pose a saftey risk for others. I realize it shouldn't be your responsibility to take care of other people's belongings, but think of it as paying it forward :)

     

    Edited to add: You could then add this TB to your watch list and enjoy following its travels
