+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have been collecting geocoins for a while now and have thought long and hard over doing a personal type coin. I wanted something that was relevant to my geocaching obsession and how that has gone. I love solving and setting Geocaching Puzzles and thought that was a good theme. I also wanted one which was truly personal (had my name on it!) So here is my coin it will of course be gc trackable and have a light bulb shaped icon I am making 500 of which 150 will be for UK and Europe cachers and for swaps (UKCC members Lynn has already preordered yours!) Due to the fact tha I am in the UK I decided to sell 350 through an online store rather than have to pay postage to the UK plus import duty at 17.5% and then postage back to the US! Costs are £5 + p&p in europe (email me to arrange) $7 plus store costs and p&p should be ready in 4 weeks, will keep you informed Bob Quote Link to comment

+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi again, I wasnt sure of the protocol of naming the online store so didn't! If I am wrong naming it please delete this post Eartha thanks (or ask me to.) I am a founder member of the English geocoin Group - which very quickly became the UK Coin Club. As you may be aware the EGG coin and the Welsh coin was sold through the Geocoin Store and I heard lots of praise about their services, so agreed to do the US/Canada side of the sell through them. size of coin 50mm tall Sales:- Please if you are a european cacher make it plain on your e mail Swops:- I am up for swops but will wait a little while before getting back to everyone as I am not sure when to stop EEC Sales yet (over 60 of 150 gone already!!!!) and I did want a few to put in a devious puzzle or two!!! Anymore questions feel free to ask Bob Quote Link to comment

+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Are we supposed to email you now if we want 2 or wait for the store sale? Same question... Hi If you are in the US or Canada and wish to buy - please wait for sale in the geocoinstore (Date to follow) If you are in the UK or Europe please contact me directly If you wish to trade rather than buy please contact me directly The reason for this is the fact that it is cheaper to buy from a us store than from me in the uk as you would have to cover 1) USA - UK postage Charge 2) 17.5% import Duty 3) UK to US postal charge This would add $4-$5 to a $7 coin!!!

+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Can the following topic be merged with this one as I have sort of confused the issue by having two names. When the coin appeared on the caching place site it was given my personal name so I then used that in the duplicate post!!! http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=127290 thanks Bob just in case is doesn't happen the sale information is as follows http://www.geocoinstore.com/viewfullcoinde...n.php?coinid=52 Quote Link to comment

L I believe that they are shipping in teh US in the coming week, those being bought or traded from me will have to wait to the end of the sale for me to get my hands on these Bob Quote Link to comment

Tim reason they are not aelling out Not round price of shipping Bad experience with Fox and Hound English cacher - so not as attractive to some (Unknown person) too linked to the sport??? I don't know really but they are my guesses Bob I havent got many left to sell and will happily pay for them over and above my bill for mine Thanks to everyone who has bought or traded with me (still some available for both) Bob Quote Link to comment
