    Nope... people who are regular visitors to our chat room are often allowed pre-sale privledges. :rolleyes:

    It usually takes up a VERY small number of coins, but gives some incentive to be frequent visitors to our site!

     

    Oh I see..... If your not in your little inner circle of friends your chances of purchasing a complete set is slim to none......... Since some are only minted in a VERY small numbers.....

     

    I believe everyone is free (and welcome) to join the GeocoinDesign chat room at any time. There is no inner circle other than the group of people who regularly visit (which anyone can be part of). Think of it similar to frequently visiting this forum; if you're here often enough, you'll likely be around in time to partake in a cointest or coin sale before things end up on eBay.

     

    IMO, regardless of how many coins are minted for any run, it is the coin producer's option to sell their coins however they want. I personally have missed out on some designs I wanted to have. I just accept the fact that I'll have to trade for or find some other way to come by the version(s) I want.

     

    Regarding the fact that certain versions of a coin "are only minted in a VERY small numbers", that is the very definition of a LIMITED EDITION (LE) coin. Many people may want that version but only a few will be able to obtain it.

    Anyone who got the LE - willing to trade please PM me.

     

    Do you know your geocoin list takes me to my profile details meaning my personal profile not yours?

     

    No - and my sincere apology - I don't know how that happened but will delete it right away. Very sorry...obviously I am techno challenged.

     

    The link you have to your signarture is a generic link that will take anyone clicking on it to their own profile. (i.e. it's currently set to http://www.geocaching.com/my/details.aspx) I'm guessing this is a common mistake since it's the link given when someone goes to their GC.com page.

     

    An accurate link to hollora's profile would be http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=506328

    I'm new to geocoins - whatcha got for sale?

    Guitar....well, you really need to check out the "geoguitar" topic! Pick your own colors and metal...

     

    i checked it out. are they going to be available for single purchases...not multi? I'm sort of confused about the details they have posted.

     

    The goal for the geoguitar coin is to allow people to customize a version of the coin. That being the case, they are only selling them in a minimum of 20 coins.

     

    You might be able to buy a single coin from someone that purchases their own batch though.

    Activation Code Clearing House

    I am having trouble find where to activate a coin. It is a 2005 Christmas coin. On one side it says Caching in a Winter Wonderland and on the back it says 2005 Merry Christmas, it has a hanger so you could hang it on the tree. I received it as part of my Secret Santa package. I checked the post for that mission and a few others got one also so maybe someone knows how to activate it. Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Try this forum thread.

    Do designers need to get copyrights to their designs?

    in Trackables

    I found this site

     

    That implies that intellectual property is copyrighted once it is created.

    1) "If it doesn't have a copyright notice, it's not copyrighted."

    This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for other people's works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise. There are some old works that lost protection without notice, but frankly you should not risk it unless you know for sure.

    While not a legal source, it does reflect other copyright positions I've read at other sites.

     

    Basically, once a design, photo, song, etc. is created, it is automatically copyrighted. There are ways to register the copyright but are not required; they just make enforcement easier.

    Mystery Coins

    Mystery coin givers are just that, a mystery. Few may think they know who they are but one can never be certain.

     

    People lucky enough to find a mystery coin are welcome to keep them. I believe if they are found in a cache, they should be traded for equal or better value just like other swag. The people who distribute them do leave clues to where someone may find a treat but you need to know where to look.

     

    Don't be surprised where a mystery cacher travels; they have magical powers to visit pretty much anywhere on the planet in a moment's time to leave their gifts.
