+IceCreamMan Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I wonder if a more confusing system for offering the "refurbished" coins could have been devised. I'm giving up and going to bed. Quote Link to comment

+KarelKraak Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 For the first 2 hours they're only avalable to MIGO members. Perhaps they should have stated that more clearly. That way I could have gotten some sleep and would have gotten up early, in stead of staying up late Quote Link to comment

+HerrK & Friends Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I wonder if a more confusing system for offering the "refurbished" coins could have been devised. Means "refurbished" the second coinage of the original coin? Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 MiGO Refurbished Coins? What are refurbished coins? Quote Link to comment
+Shasties Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The original MIGO coins were not trackable at GC.com. I believe to 'Refurbish' them, they had the original nontrackable numbers removed and new, GC trackable numbers added. The coins were basically identical to begin with so this makes a 'silk purse' out of a 'sows ear', so-to-speak. Quote Link to comment
+Bjorn74 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 There was an engraving error of sorts. The coins were modified to remove the engraving and then re-engraved properly. Quote Link to comment

+GeoHills Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 WOW $7.00 per coin and it cost $3.10 S&H for one coin. Didn't they cost about $4.00 before they were refurbished? Quote Link to comment
+Team CoyChev Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) ** These where the gc trackable coins, and they had number errors. ** We can't make GC trackable coins for $4.00 ***Geocoinstore could only sell them the way we asked them too. ***Your correct, we should of stated MiGO only for the first 2 hours earlier. But to make you feel better.............. another batch of these refurbished coins will be available in a few weeks. They are currently tied up getting the correct numbers put on them. Then we will be sold out completely. Edited January 5, 2006 by Team CoyChev Quote Link to comment

+The Fraher Family Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I AM A MEMBER! I still haven't recieved one... DUH! Super easy! Actually we did ours a few hours ago. It's all right there, how silly. We even did this (as well as another coin) while traveling from OH to GA... all in one day! Found wireless access to various businesses ~usually hotels~ to link up to, especially in major cities. Hint while on the go try Starbucks, ABC (not the liquor store), Firehouse Subs, Books A Million, libraries and hotels... Quote Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Try here Looks like only 2 are left click the buy coins on the top right Quote Link to comment
+IceCreamMan Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 For the first 2 hours they're only avalable to MIGO members. Why didn't it just say that then instead of using a bunch of jargon about non-level sales and activation codes? Even the sales page only responded with a message that said pretty much, "Hey, don't ask us, we don't know nuthin'". A simple explanation of the sale is all that's needed. Sell your coin how you like, but don't make it a riddle to figure out that I can't buy any. Quote Link to comment
+Night_Hawk Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Looks like it's now sold out Quote Link to comment
Parrolet Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Isn't this the same coin I bought back in Oct.-Nov. last year that is trackable on gc.com? What's the difference? Or is there? Quote Link to comment

+slumbersix Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) The geocoinstore's website had mentioned it being michigan members only for the first two hours... here's the post- Tuesday, January 03, 2006 MiGO Refurbished Coins Move On Deck January 4, 2006 (tomorrow!) at 9pm Eastern is the first scheduled sale of the MiGO 2005 Geocoin Refurbished. Starting at that time, orders will be taken. The first two hours of the sale are members-only and an access code will be required. Starting at 11pm Eastern, the sale will open up to anyone if quantities are still available. posted by Mike : 10:11 PM 0 comments Friday, December 30, 2005 Edited January 5, 2006 by slumbersix Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I don't know what a refurbished coin is, and I know I did not buy the original, so we bought soem this time around. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Shasties Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Looks like they are still selling the 'refurbished' MIGO coins at The GeocoinStore but you are limited to 4. 'Refurbished' is just a small correction in the numbering of the coins. I don't know if it was wrong numbers, duplicate numbers, or what, but from everything I've read they are making them completly trackable. These are the same design coins that have been out all along and trackable. If you look at the first page of the site you see the NEW MIGO coin for 2006. It's the one with the lighthouse on the back. The front has also been redesigned to reflect the 4 chapters of MIGO. These will go on sale sometime in mid January. MIGO members don't know exaxtly when, just like everyone else.

+slumbersix Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 If I read correctly, the refurbishing was that the coins originally came with no numbers so they had to have the numbers added onto them Quote Link to comment
+Rusty O Junk Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Looks like the MIGO coin is back in the store right now and available to everyone and limited to 1 each. The Geocoin Store Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Looks like the MIGO coin is back in the store right now and available to everyone and limited to 1 each.
