+biggeeks Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) SOLD OUT - SOLD OUT - SOLD OUT Hi All, So why are you just know hearing about this coin if there is only 35 left? Because this coin is built around a CITO event I wanted to get the word out to cachers in the area of the CITO event first. So I opened it up to some locals on Monday. Man, did I underestimate the power of "word of mouth" in this sub-hobby. I quickly sold the majority of the coins. And now bring the remainder to you fine folks. The following link will take you to the coin site I set up. CCGC/RON CITO Geocoin Because of the limited amount left, I'm going to have to set an ordering cap of 2 coins per team, so more people have a chance to purchase some. Please post back after your order so that I can have your geocaching handle on record. I'll be monitoring the site for the next couple of hours to ensure we don't go over 300 coins. Thanks everyone! December 3rd is the CITO event, in Salinas CA. The listing isn't up yet, but I'll keep everyone notified. Thanks, Biggeek Ben SOLD OUT - SOLD OUT - SOLD OUT Edited October 20, 2005 by biggeeks Quote Link to comment

+biggeeks Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Varsgeld, Unfortunately, none of these coins will be available trade directly from me, as I need to actually sell all of them to make the freebie at the CITO work. I should have the coins sent out before Thanksgiving (knock on wood), so watch for them to pop up for trade, especially from the San Francisco and Monterey Bay area folks. BGB Quote Link to comment

+biggeeks Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) THANKS EVERYBODY! That was a lot quicker than I thought. Looks like a couple of people got there orders in as the big 'Indiana Jones gate' was closing down, so this may be a run of like 305 Not a problem. I'd like to apologize in advance to all the people who may have wanted one of these, but weren't at their computer this morning. This is the fairest way I could think of distributing these. Come on out to Salinas on Dec. 3rd, and I'll trade you a brass version for a bag of garbage. I'll keep the website up to keep everyone updated on the manufacturing process. Thanks again - BGB PS - If you ordered, could you please post the city where your coin is to be sent so I can link your geo-name with your paymet. Or a private email works as well Edited October 20, 2005 by biggeeks Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) I'd edit your OP to say SOLD OUT to avoid others trying to place an order.

+CacheDragons Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 If you are sold out then edit your original posting to remove the link to the paypal option. I do not always have time to read every post as I am sneaking in and doing this from work. I paypaled for two so if none are available just refund the money. Removing the link from you rorigianl post and adding an explanation may save ya some headaches. Quote Link to comment
