+pirate_matt Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 if i have some in my basket does that mean i will get some, i can't seem to get any further!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
+fehrgo Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I'm wondering if they remembered to start up SSL at this point... Quote

+mudsneaker Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 this is going to be really lame if after sitting here 1/2 the day waiting for these to go on sale and not be able to get a chance even. Quote
YemonYime Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Let's see...I have some sitting right here in front of me because I designed them. Hrm......now, how can I take advantage of this demand? *consults the angel on his shoulder* Should I just post a general "nyah nyah" and stick my tongue out? Or should I try and cash in on this? *consults the devil on his other shoulder* ...what should I start the bidding at? $100? No....$250? Should I throw in free shipping? Or an autograph? Decisions, Decisions... (No, I'm not selling or trading them) (Yes, I'm a tease) Quote
+Big JohnP Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Hey Aaron, if I send you my info, can you send me a Paypal invoice for 1 of each................... Quote
+creacher Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I know it's more hassle, but wouldnt "pre-sales" orders eliminate all this??? Quote

Team Macha Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 dangit all it says that bronze and BN are all sold out!! Quote
+CoinsAndPins Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Sales have ceased for the night. The fire trucks have arrived to put the fire out in the server room and rescue the animals. Work will be done tomorrow to see what can be done for selling the rest. Sorry, but we tired. Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Wow! 97 users are browsing the Geocoin forum! I think they are all on this thread too!!!! Quote
+creacher Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 OK, so are these things really SOLD OUT as the site says? Quote
+HiDude_98 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Yup, I had two bronze and one nickel in my basket as well, but could never get the page past filling in my information to come up and now it states my basket is empty. Oh well. Off to go cache for the night, will have to wait for the aftermarket for these again. Quote

+pghlooking Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I know it's more hassle, but wouldnt "pre-sales" orders eliminate all this??? What makes it a hassle? You give people a 2 week time period to place their orders and pay for them. you mint how many coins have been paid for pluys whatever you want to try to sell extra. You get coins, mail coins, and save the hassle of a night like tonight. Seems easier to me. Quote
+Damenace Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I know it's more hassle, but wouldnt "pre-sales" orders eliminate all this??? Maybe...but it wouldn't be near as much fun! You sure can tell who the new coin collectors are . How long has this same type of problem been going on ? Quote

Actually I agree with you, compared to the fiasco we have all just been through, pre-sales and keeping up with the orders is NOTHING!!! Quote
slumbersix Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I still show coins in my basket... can i still purchase them? Quote
+stellarscapes Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I had them in my shopping basket, had all my shipping information filled out, but couldn't get any further. Then, all of a sudden, my shopping basket was empty. I have a 2005 compass rose coin, I guess I'll do without the 2007. Quote
+Team chelmo Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Managed to get just 1 bronze and 1 Black nickle into my basket but before I could get to check out they cleared themselves!!! So now I'm empty handed and have to go back to work dadgum I hope they have made enough for everyone who wants these coins. Quote
+islander1988 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 You'd think if they're sold out the traffic would decrease. I'm still on the shipping info page, can't get further. And when I just tried looking at my basket contents, it said empty. If I send you a copy of the shipping info page that said I had some, can I still get them? Quote

+The Klever Boys Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I still show coins in my basket... can i still purchase them? Yep, me too. Did anyone actually get any?? Quote
+Cornerstone4 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 OK, so are these things really SOLD OUT as the site says? No, nothing is sold out! Check back tomorrow... Quote
+DresselDragons Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 This is as much fun as installing Windows Vista! Don't even go there! There are still echos of my husband's cursing when he installed Vista on his machine...which is why I'm not putting it on mine. Quote
+Sandtracker Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 What does sell the rest mean ???.... did anyone make it to the checkout ... I wish they would have passed out numbers Quote

YemonYime Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I know it's more hassle, but wouldnt "pre-sales" orders eliminate all this??? Maybe...but it wouldn't be near as much fun! We've seen such a big backlash against pre-sales here that the community pratically demands the notion of first-come, first-served. There's really no other way to open up sales and keep it fair, so this is really what the geocoin community prefers. C&P could have snuck the coins onto the site and not told anyone, but they'd catch criticism for that too. Honestly I think they're darned if they do and darned if they don't, so I'd suggest everyone just continue to be patient as they try to deal with the demand. Quote

+CoinsAndPins Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 They are not sold out; only the portion I was able to get on there. I will be up all night working the issue. Quote
+Hula Bum Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 If it were me, I'd just sneak them on the site, less headache that way. Trying to keep it "fair" just seems to end up being a nightmare for them. Quote
+tomturtle Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 For what it's worth, I tried to purchase one of each, and I was only able to get to the page for the black nickel once and it never would let me add one. Pre-sales would be much better in the future, and if it's not too late, I'd still like to get the one of each. Quote
