New Geocoin Available

[+Rusty O Junk]

I just bought and paid PayPal for a new geocoin from a geocaching organization. There were 300 made of which only 200 are being sold. Since its being sold on a commercial website I can't post where it is on sale at.

 

The resourceful will find it

I think we posted about the same sale at the same time . Great geoocin collectors think alike! I do think it's ok to post a link to that sale, I haven't seen other threads shut down for it.

[+Rusty O Junk]

Yup, you must have been burning up your F-5 key too.

 

Since you posted the link I should probably lock this thread but I think I'll leave it open in the event yours gets locked.

[+Big JohnP]

Yep, got that one also. Just love Old English gentlemen.

I will close mine and delete the link just in case.

[+Rusty O Junk]

If you haven't found the new coin yet don't bother looking, its sold out already.

 

 

Edit for correction;

Must have loaded a cached page.... The sale is still on.

If anyone has one of the first coins from this set I will trade one my second in the series

[+mohr11]

I love this coin, reminds me visiting that place years ago.

If someone wants to trade the first coin against the second just email me.

[+Team LightningBugs]

OK, I'm not sure what the bard has to do with geocaching, but that didn't prevent me from getting a couple.

 

Thanks for a little dose of mystery in my day.

Guess I don't get around enough. How about a hint of where to see a pic of this coin?

To be or not to be....that is the question....

The european geocoin-addicts make that always in such a way.

I see that place also charges a $2 "handling fee". How come so many are upset with the other coin selling organization for charging the same $2 fee but no one complaines about this organization??

 

BTW, I'm not complaining about either organization for they are both providing a service by promoting coins for sale as well as handling the entire selling process and shipping process. This fee is for the services they are providing. I wouldn't expect them to provide these services for free. Like someone else mentioned, it's their servers, their software, their programmers, their secured web site, their bandwidth, and their labor for doing all the shipping/refunds/and damages.

Most likely because the cost of buying just one of this coin isn't so bad with the $2 fee since it was priced at $5.

 

I think it is a bigger problem when it starts to cost someone $10 or more for a single coin.

 

Maybe it isn't so much the $2 fee as it is the $2 fee on top of an over priced coin?

Because the base price from others has reached $10+ per coin plus the handling fee . Some have managed to produce a coin and still keep it at a reasonable price even with a $2.00 handling fee .

Wow, great minds must think alike? I was typing the same time you where and managed to come up with the same response .

I would like to see alot more of them come out at that price. of course it does cause them to sell out much quicker, so you have be quick or you miss it.

 

I will have some available for trades once they come in

Ok. So it's more the base price of the coin than it is the handling fee. I too agree that a base price of $10 is a bit much.

 

I also figured out that there is quite a difference in minting charges from one organization to another. If I would have had my coin minted through one particular reasonably popular minter (sorry I cannot name names) my minting price would have been $2 cheaper per coin so I could have charged $2 less per coin which would have been around a $5 base price. Live and learn, I guess.... I'll be much more educated when or if I do another coin.

 

Thanks.....Anthus

[Not So Lost Puppies]

It pays to do research

 

I think it was a combination of the price and fee. and maybe the fact this site was up front about there being a $2 fee per order on the coin listing page, the other 'appeared' to be hiding inside the shipping charge.

 

True that it works out to be the same fee, but I think for many it is easier to accept that when it is made clear that it is there.

 

Also if the coins are in stock, this site lets you order various coins and still only get the one fee (as well as order more than 10, but I hear the other is working on that changing) the other makes you buy each coin seperately and charges the $2 each time. (as well as for additional orders if you want more than 10)

Can I quote you on that? ...........Sending e-mail.

Are these coins trackable?

My guess is they are not,

because they seem to be somewhat

of an illicit item on this site.

Anyone?

Well I can't find it. I checked your trade list, 2 commercial sites and the link to your web page in your profile.

I can't answer your email cause you don't receive it when I do. I could really use the link or a trade with RustoJunk himself.

 

Was this the Shakesphere coin? If Yes, I made arrangements and got that. Otherwise there was no other presale shown that was new on TCP website.

I was assuming this is the discussion of the coin from ol' Bill's hometown. I need to see if I can send Big JohnP some email....

[+AtlantaGal]

I was able to order 2 of this coin today. I wish the OP would have said Shakespere Coin in his post cause it would have saved me from trying to figure out WTF coin this was. I thought it was a Rust O Junkl personal coin. Sheesh!

This is the perfect example of why links should be allowed. What a PITA to figure out what is on sale.

No, that's probably a month away yet.

Buying coins now involves meeting someone in a trenchcoat named "Guido" under a lampost at midnight. yeah,,, I need to score a bag of coins.
