OK! Listen! This is why nothing in this forum makes sense! The purpose and invention of the Geo-coin was to be put into caches and passed around from place to place and travel the world over. They were meant to be logged all along the way and passed on. This has not AT ALL happened and people all over the world are collectors and hoarders of the coins! That being said, the Jeep travel bug have the same purpose, yet, there are people out there who are hoarders and collectors of them as well. Why is this so different? Why are people so angry about me trying to trade a Jeep TB when the geo-coins are totally kosher to sell and trade? Why is it OK to trade or sell the Geo-coins, and why are so many people collecting them, when that wasn't their intended purpose either???????? Seems like a double standard to me.... next point: regarding any e-mails that I sent to anyone pre-ebay listings: I had several people (and I could pretty much quote them) say to me, that I should try selling these on e-bay, and that they would fetch more money this way. I am just a person looking to raise money for medical bills.

And no, I have never activated a coin ever. It is absolute libel for you to post such a thing just off the top off your head like that! "although if it is activated, which is highly possible"

Hey there. In fact I was married to a Groundspeak employee, and in fact, I do not know how the jeep TB work. So, there. Awfully presumptuous of you to think that one would somehow imply the other. I came onto this forum looking for help. I googled the question thoroughly before-hand, and couldn't find an answer, so I thought I would ask some people that probably knew. I have been a Geo-cacher since 2003, yet have not done it recently due to health issues. I just had heart surgery recently, and was trying to raise some extra money because I am $9,800.oo in medical debts now. So I thought selling the coins was a good idea, I first offered them to people on a public website with their e-mails public, without much success, then I put them on e-bay. I just wanted a question answered not all this petty squabbling about everything. I wanted to know if the tbs were in the same realm as the coins, I now know that they are not. Thank you for clearing that up. please practice kindness. LunaLou

The difference is: The Coins you can buy from the creator, once you have done that they belong to you. The jeeps where set free to travel, they belong to Jeep! Thanks for clearing that up for me, instead of being frank and rude. I appreciate that. LunaLou <Unauthorized link removed by moderator>

Does anyone want to trade geo-coins for it? I only ask this b/c Geocoins are the same type of things right? They all belong to the person who has made them, am I right? Although people clearly collect and trade them, am I right, or am I off? Thanks LunaLou

I have an original yellow 2004 jeep travel bug. I have never logged it, or put it in a cache, can I trade that for geocoins? Is it worth anything? Thanks Geocachers LunaLou

I want to trade one of my coins and am up for any offers out there. Also, I put up a Lackey's 2005 and an admin brick (the real original foam brick) and the MTN-MAN admin brick coin. I put those and the Compass Rose 2006 for sale on ebay here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcallistodesigns but I want to trade the Thanks volunteer 2005 coin. any interest? if so, e-mail is delraygoddess (at) yahoo (dot) com
