Today is the start of the 2009 Nascar Race season with the kickoff of the Daytona 500. I have been a fan of Ryan Newman since his rookie year. He has a new car #39, new team, new owner and i'm hoping for good things this year. (its been a long time coming). To play: Tell us who you think will win the Daytona 500 Race today. Cointest ends at 2:30pm EST Only enter one guess. (editing or multiple replies will disqualify you) Give us the car # and/or driver name. For multiple guesses on the same driver, the person who guessed first will win (if your driver wins) Up for grabs: Unactivated 2008 4th Annual Airborne Event coin (nickel version) Good luck to all of you and good luck to all of the drivers. GO RYAN GO!!!!!!!

I must send a great big THANK YOU!!!! to the Geo_Bandit. This beautiful geocoin was such a surprise!!!! I had no idea this mystery coin was making its way around the cattle fields so this was truly a very nice gift! First of all, I too had no idea they made black bubble mailers. Where have I been? LOL I had a couple of trades working their way to NC but knowing it was too soon to receive any, this lil bubbler caught me by surprise. I instantly looked at the address, yeppers, its suppose to be mine. Then I look at the return address...hmm...G. Bandit....I don't recall a trade with this person. OH WOW!!!! LOOK AT THAT STAMP!!! How cool is that?!?!? They even personalized the stamp. Geo_Bandit....still no clue.....oh my gosh!! did I forget to send someone a coin?!?!?! In a panic, I open the package and pull out this magnificent looking coin! Hmm.... I don't recall asking someone for this one....could it really be? Could it really be a mystery coin for me?? So then, I grab the card.....Geo_Bandit....provider of smiles. Well....I had a big smile...a little coinfusion....but none the less a smile.....OH MY GOSH!!! IT IS A MYSTERY COIN!!!!! I can't believe it....I have been roped in by the Geo_Bandit! Should I grab my spurs? Should I grab my saddle or just hang on for the ride and go whereever I need to go? Thank you so much for thinking of me and for sending me this gracious gift. It truly is appreciated! I am now the proud owner of #294 Thanks again!! Tonya / n8turgrl

I have Geojellies - Big Bean for trade for anyone interested. Name: n8turgrl Flavor: Icydreamer PM or contact me through profile

ATC06 has been deployed and is not able to reach a computer but for limited time. I'm sure he will return emails as soon as he is able to do so. Being a friend of his, I just figured I would let everyone know he hasn't dropped off the earth since I knew he was still around lol.

Available for trade: Antique Silver/ Green 2008 Earth Turtle I'd like to find one of the GW6 Earth Turtles if possible. Otherwise, my seeking list is below. Let me know what you have

I totally agree that group projects need to be pre-paid. I for one wouldn't want to be stuck with coins that someone personalized and ordered and then didn't pay for. My post wasn't in regards to payments it was more on topic with the delays we have all seen in the past few months with various coins, not just group projects.

Well, first of all Jim, don't assume I am placing blame on you as I did not specify a specific person or a specific coin. The Geojellies are not the only coin I have ordered over the past few months and it is not the only coin I am STILL waiting to receive. Albeit, they have taken the longest. As I have told you in reply to the emails, I do not blame you as I am well aware this is out of your control. You are not the only individual who has ordered large amounts of coins. I would assume that you would know how to handle a large order as this is not your first run. However, that is not the case for everyone. Being that you are the group leader and not the actual vendor, I don't see where you would even take offense. (No, my mention of an individual was not directed towards you so don't get so defensive. However, being the group leader of such a large project, you should be prepared to take the heat if anything goes wrong just as you would take the praise if everything went smooth.) To stay on topic: I will be the first to admit that I am frustrated in the delays and even more delays on the geojellies. But I am more frustrated in the delays of multiple coins (and projects) I have ordered over the past few months. It would appear from this thread, I am not the only frustrated person.

I think AtlantaGal sums the problem up very nicely. However, it's not just vendors, big or small, that can't handle the responsibility. It's individuals that think they can handle large orders and then perhaps become overwhelmed or bite off more than they can chew. Funny how AtlantaGal got a snooty reply to a simple question of concern. You aren't the only one that has received them. It seems that these "vendors" sure are taking the defense to something that is supposedly out of their control. Tadpole, thank you for posting your story. I have often wondered (while I STILL wait for my coins) if the problem is with the vendor and not so much the mint. I've seen coins come and go that were ordered after mine and those coins were a heck of a lot more detailed than the one i've ordered. If I knew how to contact the mint responsible for these coins, i'd gladly contact them myself just to get an understanding of why it is taking so long to remint a coin that has already been released more than a month ago. If the problem is with the minting companies, what does this hold for the future of geocoins? For sure it won't take long before we get tired of the run around over and over again and stop using these mints. If the problem is with specific vendors, you can bet it won't take long for people to catch on and stop using them as well. Anyways, just my two cents. I will continue to sit here and wait (soon going on 5 months) for my coins to arrive. This has been a learning experience and will not soon be forgotten.

I received mine on Saturday and they look AWESOME! Great job and such a nice coin to reprsent Okinawa. Thanks!!

Well I suppose i'll vent my frustrations as well as everyone else has. I am not pointing fingers at any one person specifically. I paid for coins that were part of a group project on 3/30. Half of the group has gotten their order, traded their order and I still sit waiting to receive mine. I was one of the unfortunate few to have a set of error coins. Of course I was given the option to accept them as they were, spend a couple extra dollars to keep them plus get a new set or wait 3 weeks (which has turned in to almost 5 weeks) to get a new set. Just the other day I received an email asking to trade my personalized coin. How frustrating it is to have to reply that I STILL do not have my coin and that as soon as they come in i'd be more than happy to trade. Today I emailed about an update only to find out i've got about 2 more weeks to go before I can even expect my coins to be in hand. I'm sure there are plenty of excuses, reasons, acts of nature that have gotten in the way. Fact is, 4 months of waiting, SOMETHING is wrong SOMEWHERE!! Is it the mint? Is it the person we ordered from? Is it just that this coin was something so difficult that it takes this long to remint? Communication can help calm the storms brewing for sure but for how long is one person suppose to be patient, pleasant and understanding? Well, I suppose I could keep going and going but why beat a dead horse? I'm no less frustrated than anyone else it just seems this is a problem and something (but I don't know what) should be done.

I know this is probably far fetched but figured I would give it a try. I'm looking for a Lundstroms 2 Dolphins coin. Traders in sig below.
