Ftf Prize's

[+drums4monty]

How do you view FTF Prizes? I feel that they are what they say on the tin, a prize for the FTF. I don't view these as swaps, the way I see them is that if you find the cache first, then the prize is yours regardless of any swaps that may or may not take place. After all the title of the item is FTF Prize, not, FTF Swap.

 

How do you view these, especially those of you who actually put FTF Prizes in your caches?

 

No arguments please, keep it friendly.

i agree its a PRIZE (GIFT)

 

not a trade

 

i put them out some times

and dont expect swaps for them

[+The Changing Man & Jillbo]

Well thats exactly what they are

 

I usually put an unactivated TB in as FTF prize if i have any spare....i dont expect anyone to trade anything for it but i *do* expect something to be traded if the FTF leaves the prize and someone else takes it...

We usually put either a FTF prize or a FTF certificate with our caches. Agreed : The FTF prize can/should be accepted as a prize, with no swap necessary I usually try and place a FTF prize which has some relation to the theme or location of the cache.

i agreed an FTF prize is a prize and that you should not have to put an swap there.It is a prize not a swap.

I'm glad I noticed this thread cos I was wondering if people put FTF prizes in their caches - just about to start putting some caches together myself and it was one question I was going to ask.

 

While I'm at it what sort of things have people put in for prizes?

[+G Force]

We always put in a scratch card for FTF. Maybe someday we will have the first geocaching millionaire!

Going the way I thought it would. Any more?

I recently got FTF on a multi at the Scottish Cache Bash in which the prize was a quarter bottle of single malt whisky (contraband alert ). Since I cheated by completing only 4 of the 6 stages, I left it there for a more deserving cacher, so if you're quick ...

[+HazelS]

a prize is a prize...a swap is a swap....

 

Simple!!

 

If it says it's a FTF prize, then there's no need for a swap... however, in the interests of keeping decent items in swaps, I DO leave a swap item even for a prize, but I don't expect others to in my caches.

Well only being a small player, but disappointed when my two FTF's yielded nothing more than the chance to be first to use the log book, so I err'ed on the side of generous with the two caches I placed: with a laminated certificate, and an un-activated TB tag in an envelope, plus a choice of the booty as a prize (of which there was one obviously higher value item).

 

It's pleasing to note that in both cases the FTF only took the cert and the TB, leaving the other items to remain as trades.

 

I can't ever see me getting up at the crack of dawn as mentioned in another thread just to get a FTF, but however it's achieved I think it is nice to find something a bit special for the effort.
