+walkergeoff and wife Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I was browsing on eBay and found this: First-to-find keyrings. Has anyone bought any of these? Are they the sort of thing that would make a good FTF prize? Quote Link to comment
+stora Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've looked at those, then I thought about buying the 'blanks' and printing my own custom FTF keyrings Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 £2.45 - are they mad or do they think we are mad - OMG! People will buy ANYTHING on eBay. Geoff, make your own - cost you about 50p each. IMHO they don't even make good prizes Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm wondering if they have permission to use the logo. Permission to use it is based on not-for-profit items, and you need explicit permission to use on items you are going to sell. On a related matter, I found an advert in a cache the other day for someone selling similar keyrings. I removed and binned it. T Quote Link to comment

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 If you click through to the relatdwebsite they do have some nice looking cammo nano caches, but I am not sure what price these would notmally run out at? Quote Link to comment

On a related matter, I found an advert in a cache the other day for someone selling similar keyrings. I removed and binned it. T Good on ya!! I would have removed it too. I make the keyrings and drop them in caches and they are always the first thing to go by the next visitor to the cache. I get my blanks from ebay, they cost very little to make. I have made ftf keyrings for caches attached to a FTF certificate. The ones they are selling on ebay are well over the top I think price wise but as Pengy&Tigger have pointed out, you do need explicit permission if you intend to sell them, I don't sell them, I just drop them in caches. The only thing I can say about making your own is they can be very time consuming unless you have one of the photo cutters that cut them out all in one go,but they are rather expensive. I shall stay with my sissors. Lolly Quote Link to comment

Are they the sort of thing that would make a good FTF prize? Gone from eBay! Did someone buy them up or did Geocaching.com sort their removal?!? Quote Link to comment

+Team JSAM Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thats not a bad idea, although I think I will make my own rather than buy...... Quote Link to comment

Ribbons....now thats an idea It's the same seller again!! they've started selling them as buy-it-now and made their feedback history private .... and to be honest they're not the only one doing it! I wouldn't buy them myself, does it not take away the personal touch and maybe encourage more commercialism? Quote Link to comment
