+Bunya Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Do your prices cover overseas shipping? Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Woah, those look awesome! I see faint writing on the edge of the coin, what does that say? It says SCAVOK. We received ours this past week, it is way cool! --Marky Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Do your prices cover overseas shipping? The shipping cost rarely covers the actual cost anyway. These are lead-heavy so I ship as economical as possible. I won't charge extra for overseas, but if you want it quicker than standard rate (pretty slow), then a few extra bucks would be appreciated. Message me if you want special overseas shipping and I'll get back to you on the cost after I check it out myself. Quote Link to comment

Can't argue with you on that Bunya. Congrat's on winning the world cup too! Interesting end to the match though! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I purchased one off eBay the other day. Looking forward to receiving it. FYI on international shipping, the economy rate (aka surface shipping) will cease to exist on May 14th. Quote Link to comment

FYI on international shipping, the economy rate (aka surface shipping) will cease to exist on May 14th. I've noticed lately that the surface shipping rates are only slightly lower now than the international flat rate envelopes, which is what I will be using now. Hopefully they don't raise the prices on those too much! Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 I am approaching my limit on these again. There are a few auctions up but sales will close sometime tomorrow on my website. Get your orders in (: Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hit my limit again. Currently still 2 auctions going though, but that will be it for a while. Thanks everyone for your orders, you're gonna love them. I'll post again when I can take more (: Quote Link to comment
+ZAteam Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Very nice coin. I'll have to get my hands on one! This is the first (and currently only) authorized handmade geocoin on geocaching.com... Not to be negative but this isn't exactly true as the Delft Blue coin is hand-made and trackable. Maybe there were some more handmade coins before the Delft Blue? Quote Link to comment

I asked about that after I was approved but TPTB must have forgotten about that one as well (: Maybe mine is the only metal one? Thanks a lot, now I have to change my tagline! Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) I think mine is still the first to be authorized to personalized though! I've been wrong before (obviously) and would love to get my hands on other ones! So if they are out there let me know! Edited May 3, 2007 by scavok Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) School is starting, and being a student who enjoys making these coins and needs to buy books and pencils I'm ready for another round. You can get it with my slogan on it or anything up to 26 characters long (including spaces) all CAPS on the back of the coin. My geoname is on the edge. Hand poured, hammered, and finished specifically for each order and is (as far as I know) the only authorized customizable handmade geocoin. Prices, ordering, finishes and everything else you need to know is on my webpage at http://www.scavok.com/geocoin.php All shipping charges are fixed despite where they are going. These coins are lead-heavy so the shipping fees rarely cover the cost of mailing them anyway. I won't raise the price for your order if you are out of the country, but I wouldn't mind a couple extra bucks in the payment if you feel like being generous or if you have some sympathy for the one who will fill out all the customs forms at the PO... You can message me through the website or geocaching.com with any questions. I think the geocaching world needs more original items. No manufacturing here! This is the last round and sales won't be suspended again. When I'm out I'm out until (and IF) I come up with another handmade coin. Thanks All! Edited May 21, 2007 by scavok Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) I just thought I'd note that I've seen some reselling of these around and I have no problem with that (free advertising if nothing else). Just realize that if you buy from a reseller there won't be any replacements or guarantees from me of any kind. Edited May 21, 2007 by scavok Quote Link to comment
