San Diego Geocoin - Public Offering

[+Caching Widow]

The San Diego GeoCoin will make its public debut on Sunday Dec. 11 at 9a.m. PST on eBay. I will have 75* coins available in one auction and 25* coin/pin sets available in another. This is how we will sell the bulk remainder of our coin stock. Coins will be limited to 2 per buyer, so that more people get a chance to buy them.

 

Thanks for all your patience and positive feeback about our design.

 

* May be more or less dependant on final coin tallies made on Saturday night.

Will this be a dutch auction with a set price, or a standard eBay - goes to the highest bidder type auction?

[+Nazgul]

And dare we ask the price if via Dutch auction?

[Parrolet]

I had emailed a while back asking if these were sold out to see if I could get one or two and got no answer back.

It'll be a set price, no waiting. Once you confirm your bid you're the owner of a shiny new coin.

[+Ladycacher]

Anyway to get just the pin? I got the coin today by trade and would like the pin.

[+Caching Widow]

San Diego pins are available here: MyGeoSwag.com

 

There are also 3 Bushwhacking pins left. First to ask for them gets the special order link. Coming in 2006 Bushwhacking Coins!!!

[+GrnXnham]

Will there by a link on this thread pop up at 9AM or do we have to do a search on eBay at 9AM? How do we find the auction?

Ordered one to go with my coin.

I know that I'm on a coin-spending freeze until the holiday shopping is over... unless I see something shiny that I must have.

 

Now, where's that GAA coin when I need it??!!?

[+Prairiepartners]

Yeah this in one of the best looking coins out there and I just had to get a few more!!

I got one more coin and pin set

[+Lemon Fresh Dog]

I bought 2 (would have bought more ).

 

I haven't bought coins in the past few weeks, but this is my absilutely favourite US city (I haven't visited a couple that I also think I would like -- so take that for what it's worth). Also, this is the city where I traded for my very first geocoin!

[H to the Bizzle!]

Just bought one -- thanks!

[+Caching Widow]

After watching the Lighthouse auction I thought they would go faster too. That's why I limited the number of coins per person to 3. At this point, yall can go buy as many as you like.

 

FYI: I've been setting international shipping at $6 to Europe and $5 to Canada.

Or it could be that they are $12 for the first and $10 for each additional...

[+-{LoS}-Xile]

word!

[+Shilo]

I just got in for 3.

Now there are 31 left.

I'm so glad I got at least 1 of these coins as I was born here awhile ago. Left when I was 8 so I don't remember a lot of my time there.

Thanks for the nice looking coin

Just ordered two with additional $6 for shipping to Germany. (If I wouldn't have checked this forum I wouldn't have known the international shipping fee, maybe there should have been an information on ebay?)

Well, that's $24 for two coins now. Pretty expensive but I'm looking forward to a San Diego coin for quite a while now.

Think I have to tighten my purse until after the holidays as well now...

[+Balla & Silly]

23 coins left. Just one question: why are they $9 on ebay and $8 on the shop side?

Did I miss anything? (Wish I could have ordered there... )

I'd say they added to make sure they were covered on ebay fees.

[+Balla & Silly]

Yes, that might be a reason for the $1 difference. I'm still surprised that this coin gets sold so slow. Then again - it might be a signal and a good sign for keeping the prizes at a lower level in future...?
