Unless you get on the original buy which it seems ive missed all them. I ony have 2 coins in my collection ................... J Personally, the only way I see it as possible is to create your own "trader" coin. The idea of getting every coin out there will take huge dedication and deep pockets though. However, you can make an edition of 100 coins for $350-$550 and at eBay prices -- that's like buying 2-20 coins online! Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Here is what I want to whine about today. When you have a coin made through a company then they charge you 185.00 to ship the coins to your house, then when they get to your house they are in a flat rate 7.70 box!!!! Fudging RIP OFF!

I have mailed packages weighing much more than the coins did and it didn't cost me no 185.00 to overseas. Well 185.00 - 7.70= 177.30 to be exact. Quote Link to comment

J I don't think you've missed them all. there are a lot of new ones coming out all the time. Each time there are a bunch of people who miss out and want to trade for the newer ones. It does take a lot of time on the forums to get in on them all. Quote Link to comment

+Cache-bert Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 While we're at it, I've got a message for the folks who made the Geowoodstock coins and the Colorado coins. They need to get off their a** and buy a real icon for their coins. If they think they can just get by forever with a generic cent mark for an icon, they must not care very much. The USA geocoins could use a better icon too. Really people, where's your pride??? Gee!! They changed the Geowoodstock coin icon already! Whining really gets results! Guys, I was just kidding! But it looks great!!! Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) The shipping is for fedex 2-day service from overseas to the US Ladycacher... yeah, it's fudged some, but not by as much as you think. Supposidly the coins are shipped free to you from the vendor (of course we know that $8 or whatever is worked into the original shipping you were billed. So it's not free) Kind of reminds me of buying a car, lol. I negotiate my coin pricing, knowing they'll make up some of it in the shipping charges. My whine for the day.... I hate being afraid to go out and cache for fear of missing coins sales while I'm gone Edited October 29, 2005 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment

+Cav Scout Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 My whine is, Why can't I design a geocoin with good intentions without some subject matter expert who lives in Buck Tussel, Indiana telling me what I should and should not do? Just like the Army saying goes, "Looks like you need a big cup of shut the **** up". Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 My whine is about people who open a thread for design discussions and then lock down that thread when they hear something they don't like - even when it's not directed toward them. Go figure. Quote Link to comment

+Ladybug Kids Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Suppose it's my turn to whine, though I try to be upbeat in the forums... What's up with one side of the kvcoins flips being half-covered with self-promotional material? Do cachers who use kvcoins get a discount if they allow this advertising on them? Other flips come with "Made in China" stamped prominently on them. In both situations, I end up moving the coin to a new storage container. I know it costs me just a few cents to swap the coins to a "clean" flip, but it strikes me as a waste of a good flip to have it printed on. Quote Link to comment

Rupert2 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 They can print whatever they want on those holders. IMHO they are garbage and are treated as such as soon as I get them. Since the manufacturers buy the cheapest holder they can find, we are receiving our coins in highly plasticized holders. They are easy to identify because they are very soft and pliable. If you leave your coins in those holders they will be covered with green slime within five years. I immediately replace those with the much stiffer (un-plasticized) flips. They are archival quality and will not slime your coins. The only down side is that they are not pliable so when you try to shove that Vacman into one it will rip. Quote Link to comment
