+Team Honeybunnies Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 We got ours . Logged into our shopping cart and checked every five minutes or so until the pay button appeared. After getting shut out of a couple high-profile sales I just wasn't going to spend an evening at the keyboard. But the process was smooth and easy and no explosions on the PayPal launchpad . Got the extra gift and I'll be watching the mailbox. Quote Link to comment
+markz68 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I didn't know anything about it. I happened onto the forum thread about it two hours after they went on sale. I went to the website, put one in my basket, and checked out. No muss, no fuss. Didn't know about the special gift until after I had ordered, so I missed out on that. Quote Link to comment
+wsgaskins Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well, I had PayPal troubles and ended up with two orders -- one pending and one processing. A quick email to Steve to tell him that the 'pending' order was never going to be paid because PP decided to bum out on me. Now I just have to wait for the email with the tracking #s so I can activate them to fulfill the final requirement before they will ship. And I hope that I see that email -- for whatever reason, Gmail has decided that Steve Moran's emails to me are 'Spam'. I've had to rescue 3 emails in the past couple weeks out of the spam bucket that came from him. -- Scott G. Quote Link to comment

+FluteFace Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) Yup, I did manage to get one. I was there on time, but it wasn't for sale yet, and I ended up having to leave 10 minutes later for a geocacher's birthday party. I was bummed about the coin. But, When I got back, fairly late, there were still 19! And I just activated it! Yippee! I suspect the icon will come later, since it had its own listing.

+CachingCoins Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The icon is my avatar. I'm sure that Steve will get right on it. I hope y'all enjoy the coin as much as I do! I've had the original sample sitting on my desk for weeks now. They made it in error & it is huge! It's 90mm x 50mm. The real ones look so tiny! But, they are really cute! I hope you enjoy them!
