+brumbjorn Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm almost ready to go...to give everyone a fair chance, I've delayed it until tomorrow (Saturday 21st). I'll open sales at 18.00 UK time (GMT), which is 13.00 (1 p.m.) in the Eastern USA and 10.00 (a.m.) in the Pacific USA. Silver Limited Edition coins will be $9.99 and the original gold $8.99. Postage and packing: add 20%. I'll post here again when the start is imminent! HH GAAAH!!! I'm going to be at an event. Can someone order three for me? Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I was thinking about going away for the day. Hmmm... may have to delay my departure. Today I was around all day. Oh well. I imagine a Saturday works better for the people with 9-5 jobs. Quote Link to comment

I should mention that Payment will be by Paypal only: you'll be able to order and pay at the same time. Quote Link to comment

+hybridgeek Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Oooohhh Goodie!! Only problem is I work on Saturdays 11-7... :-( How will the buying go? You say via paypal, but will it be you'll accept emails with orders at 1 pm (EST), or will there be a site up for it? Any way to reserve some for me for later that night??? Or any Gaithersburg/Montgomery Village (Maryland) cachers willing to order some for me (with me promptly paying you back of course)? Thanks, hybridgeek Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 You say via paypal, but will it be you'll accept emails with orders at 1 pm (EST), or will there be a site up for it? Any way to reserve some for me for later that night??? There will be a web page for ordering/paying. I'll post the URL here when it's activated. There's no facility to reserve coins: you'll have to persuade someone to buy some on your behalf, or take a chance that there will be some left when you return... Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 The web page is here: the links will work in half an hour. I'll close the sale after four hours if there are still coins left, and re-open tomorrow. Watch this space for news... Quote Link to comment

+islander1988 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Either no one's ordering the silver, or the button to check how many are available isn't working. Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Wow - orders came in too fast! I've suspended sales until I can check stock. Thanks to everyone, and I'll let you know more soon. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 For some reason, I had to make two separate PayPal orders: one for gold (2) and one for silver (2), but I was succesfull. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Tethys C Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Same here - an order for each coin but I got mine and a few extra to trade with those who missed out because of work etc. - Nasty having to work on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 For some reason, I had to make two separate PayPal orders: one for gold (2) and one for silver (2), but I was succesfull. Thanks! Yes, it's only a basic process so there are separate pages for each. There are just a handful of Silver left now, and a few more gold. It looks like it's going to sell out quickly - open again for the moment though. Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 After the initial rush, things have slowed down now. There are plenty of gold geocoins left but no silver, except for the few I've kept on one side for locals. Quote Link to comment
The Red Kite Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Success! Thanks HH. My friend from the IOM will be very happy Quote Link to comment
+hybridgeek Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Phew! I called my bro and had him pick my dad and I up 4 gold and 1 silver. When he ordered the silver it said only 2 left!! I sure our order got us one of those last two! I can't wait!!! Thanks! -hybridgeek Quote Link to comment

Despatch of orders will begin tomorrow - they should all be on their way by the end of the week. Thanks again for all the interest and kind comments. Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Gold geocoins are still on sale: about 60 left. I'll have to close the site on Thursday as I'll be away, but I'll make sure that all coins are despatched by then. Quote Link to comment

+Happy Humphrey Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Our Coin arrived today thanks.... Beautiful Coin.... one slight problem we activated it and are only getting a generic icon any ideas??? There seems to be a problem in the Groundspeak database with the icon for the latest coins. I've e-mailed Groundspeak and hope for a resolution very soon. Sorry about that. HH Quote Link to comment
