They just dropped again. I missed the benchmark but grabbed 2 more ROTs after seeing your post here. Let me know if you need it. I'm sure we can work out a trade.

I wanted to publibly congratulate the GCC owners for finding the most stupid way to organize a sale (that I know of). Most of the rare coins sold will probably not stay in the hands of the buyer, but go to friends collection or end up on ebay.

That last drop lasted about 2 minutes, I got two out of the three older ones, still need a rot13 to have 1 of every one dropped...

I picked up an extra ROT 13 and Old Man Winter. Someone email me if you are interested.

Posted June 30, 2006 · June 30, 2006

Anyone needing one of the older coins to add to or complete their collection? Drop us a note.

I'm not a GCC memeber so I missed out on all of this, but I wanted to say that this was a really fun thread to read through. It totally reminded me of my beanie baby days. The one's where I'd wake up, grab my cell and start hitting hallmarks to see who had their new beanies out first. Then all the calls I'd make to see which of my friends needed which beanies. Oddly enough, I think the beanie (at Hallmarks) were cheaper! Just as much fun though. I hope everyone got the coins they wanted. And can someone tell me what ROT 13is? I keep picturing a rotty, that would be great!

Yeah, collecting coins is like BBs all over again. I too used to chase the UPS truck around at a few area stores just to see what I could snag right away. And eBaying extras was an excellent way to fund a collection of the silly things. Deja vous.

ROTFL! We have so many of these blasted beanies! They do take up more space than coins, but they are softer.

Well, that was the end of my subscription with GCC - That sale on top of the late deliveries and lack of responses on their forums was the end for me.

Should anyone have a Benchmark, Ammo Can, FTF or Select Availability they want to trade, drop me a line please. Thanx

Posted June 30, 2006 · June 30, 2006

Gaaa! I just placed my extras for sale elsewhere and saw that they were being sold through the store.

Do you have to be a member to buy? I stopped my subscription as I was getting buried in coins! :mad:

Posted June 30, 2006 · June 30, 2006

Looking for a Benchmark, Ammo Can, ROT13 or S/A Also.... Will purchase outright or trade if need be. I'm willing to use the ol' Jedi mind trick if necessary.

It's not a pretty sight..... but on the other hand, (for the trekkies..) Resistance IS futile!!! :anibad:

Yes LMF, you had to be a member to get them but there wasn't much available and it was hard to get what was available unless you want one of the latest editions (Feb, March, April, May) there are plenty of these left. The Benchmark, Ol' Man Winter, and ROT-13 went fast. There wasn't anything else.

I am also looking for a Benchmark if anyone is interested in trading send me a email.

Posted June 30, 2006 · June 30, 2006

Okay -- I didn't realize the ROT13 and Benchmark were so sought after. I had 4 of each through my subscription and placed 2 of each into caches and am doing something else with the 1 extra of each that are still around (so no PM's please :mad: !).

They sure are nice coins though. I think the Benchmark is in my top 5 all-time favourite coins.

Posted June 30, 2006 · June 30, 2006

If anyone sees a red selective availbility would you grab it for me.

It is the only one I do not have.

I will make the trade worth the effort.

I am watching too.

Nothing earlier than the Nov Benchmark was offered.

Posted June 30, 2006 · June 30, 2006

I tried for a Benchmark or an ROT13 but had no luck (I had to sleep eventually...haha). If anyone has one they are interested in selling or trading (I'm sure we can work something out), please PM me. Thanks all! :mad:

So, will someone explain to me what happened??? I was watching the site & the sale started later than the e-mail stated, right? And then, they dropped the older coins for sale for just a minute or 2 at a time??? What time did they start popping up? I totally misunderstood how this thing was going to work. I sat at my computer doing other things & watched, but only refreshed every 5-10min. I never saw the older coins go up for sale & then a little after midnight the power supply on my computer died!! :laughing: It was Fri afternoon before I could get it fixed & up & running again. Of course they were all gone by then. So what was the earliest anybody saw the Jan or older drop? Oh well, I guess I wasn't meant to get any at this time.

Posted July 2, 2006 · July 2, 2006

So what was the earliest anybody saw the Jan or older drop?

I think around 8:50 EST was the first drop and then they seemed to happen about once an hour at different times while I was on the computer.

Basically, they load the cart with a certain quantity. Once that quantity sells, the item drops back into coins on deck until the next scheduled listing. I have no clue what the quantities were, but on the benchmark, I would say less than 10 coins each listing time as a guess. Perhaps one of the club reps can be more specific.

Posted July 2, 2006 · July 2, 2006

I managed to get a Benchmark the other night.

I'm really looking to trade it for a Police Geocaching Squad - LE Gold

Anyone? Please.

Posted July 2, 2006 · July 2, 2006

I can't speak to quantity details, but there are not many coins available at each interval. The sale did begin at the right time. I think the folks who snagged the first few "drops" are keeping quiet. Some of these people could go pro.

In the first three minutes coins were bought by 8 people in these states, AK, HI, MI, NY and GA. None of our international subscribers got in for a while.

The servers are in Eastern. They reside in a New England state if memory serves correctly.

That's no surprise as international subscribers have to make an additional selection before completing the sale. Actually, I still wonder why this thing was called a sale, it was more like a contest, those who had alot of time to refresh or were just plain lucky were able to grab a few of the older coins and won as the coins were sold at lower prices than the current collectors market value. Why was it even possible for them to more than one of the coins if your goal was to give more GCC members a chance to buy one of the older coins?? It just makes no sense to me. Being fair is a completely different thing. I did not even see one of the interesting drops, for all I knew looking at the clubsite, the sale of those could have not have started yet at all. And I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation. I would already have cancelled my membership if you wouldn't lock your members in for several months.

Posted July 2, 2006 · July 2, 2006

Hey Bjorn, will these ship right away or does the 4-6 week wait mentioned on the website apply?

All of these are sitting on my shelf ready to ship... except we will be at Midwest Geobash all week long. I don't think Trippy will get me the orders until after the Bash but they will all go at once then.

To answer a couple other questions... we have never reordered a coin, these are original stock. For all of the older coins on the sale the quantities are very small and they will be gone soon if they aren't already, never to return again.

Posted July 2, 2006 · July 2, 2006

I guess I had no track of time that evening then. I thought it was close to 9 ET when the first drop occurred, lol.

Posted July 11, 2006 · July 11, 2006

I see some coins (Winter and ROT) are "On Deck" again.

Did I miss any others? :unsure:

Posted July 11, 2006 · July 11, 2006

Can we get any of our ROT13's fire roasted??

Posted July 12, 2006 · July 12, 2006

I just looked at my order, and that was me. :laughing:
