+islander1988 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hmmm... I seem to have completely missed the updates on this thread too and missed the reservation period. Guess I should have put a watch on it. Oh well, so it goes. Quote Link to comment
+Windrose Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah I really hate this "one coin - one thread" rule. I either have to wade through 200 "I want one" posts looking for changes, or take a chance on missing an update. Windrose Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sorry about the one thread one coin issue. I'm keeping a waiting list for those that didn't get in on time for reservations. Anyone that doesn't pay for their order will forfeit their reservation and the next person on the waiting list will have an opportunity to purchase them. So, if you would like to be on the waiting list, please send me an email. Also, I have a small quantity of all versions for trade. Thanks....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+~tasia~ Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 SHOOT!! i never knew that reservations started yet!! sending email hoping to be on the wait list... Quote Link to comment

ParentsofSAM Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yeah I really hate this "one coin - one thread" rule. I either have to wade through 200 "I want one" posts looking for changes, or take a chance on missing an update. Windrose Yep the one coin, one thread rule has got to go. I see no difference in closing a thread before opening a new one for the next stage. It is ridiculous to have to wade through posts to find the ONE that has the sales info. Now if we could edit our OP for longer than 24 hours...it might make sense. Have a post at the end that says ordering open see 1st post.....but that still is not good. Quote Link to comment
+Windrose Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I agree that it would be better if we could close the old thread and open a new one for the new stage. Even if the mods change the title of the thread, all that does is let me know that I need to wade through 6 pages of posts trying to find the one post from the OP that has the new info or new pics.

That way all relevant info on sale / pre orders / reservations could go right there in the first post. ...Anthus Quote Link to comment

keewee01 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I totally missed the ordering, but have put one in anyway in case someone does pay... so I might end up with a BN if I'm lucky...

+frivlas Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well drat. I was the first to reply on the thread when they came out and it sounds like I missed them?! I only wanted one. Quote Link to comment
+chancerider Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well dang... apparently I fell asleep at my laptop and missed out on these GREAT coins. I know I'm way beyond late, but would love to be added to a "wait" list if possible. Or, if anyone would consider a trade? Awesome coin design BTW! Quote Link to comment
+Rubiconlwb Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 If you do a second minting or come up with some from an unknown source, I would love to have a coin (any metal). I just happened upon this thread and the coins are just awesome! Quote Link to comment
+LeonW Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Anthus Please put me also on the wating list for the LE or whatever follow-up run of these coins you intend to do, I followed the thread but darn, I still have a job to do - not computer related - and missed the reservation list. This series was hugely popular! Please contact by private e-mail. LeonW Quote Link to comment
+BVnLJ Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I ordered one of each set and could help out here for those who didn't get to order. could either buy one or trade for a gold geohana seeing that I live in PA and not Hawaii dang it anyhow : ) Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 I'm still getting tons of of emails and requests from people wanting to reserve a laptop geocoin. Many of which said they stopped reading the initial post since it was labeled sneak peak. I'm kicking around the idea of reopening reservations for just the regulars. Would anyone that has already reserved the laptop mind if I reopen just the regulars? Again, this would only be for the regular editions. Thanks....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+BVnLJ Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) nope, seems like a good idea, looks like many people missed out on ordering them need help packing them? Edited April 1, 2007 by bvnlj Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I would appreciate that quite a bit, as I am a victim of exactly that post of "Sneak Peak" I did not come back and look (my fault) but was completely busted when I saw some postes of them being completely sold out somehwere else. I would love to get a hold on some of those laptops,as I spent most of my work time on one of them for tooooo many hours a day. So I vote for some more. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I am not sure why anybody would object to that. It sure would make a lot of people happy who were victims of the mysterious "one coin one thread" imposition. Quote Link to comment
Susie_Q Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Does this mean if we already have put in a reservation we have to do it again? (I have a reserve for a black nickel.) Or will you be ordering more coins to sell? Quote Link to comment
+geocachingdragon Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I would agree as long as the le's stay le then their should be no issue. Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Which were the regular and which the LE? I totally missed the reservation exactly for the reason you state above . CF30 Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's your coin, do as you please. It's not like you sold a certain number under the pretext of this is a limited edition and all that is being sold, then came back and minted more LE coins. There isn't now or should ever be a limit on regular edition coins. Have at it, but then you already have my order . Quote Link to comment
glennk721 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) The one thread rule left many unable to order. I think this would help those to order a "laptop" coin that missed out. One thing I would like to see though is a post stating that the sale of the coins would be a certin day and time posted a couple of days in advance, this will allow all to know up front when a sale will start. Not just a reservation page poping up from know where. If I were out a few HRS later the night your coins went on sale I would have missed out, just some food for thought.

+Aiden's Cachers Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I was hoping to get 3 but like others I missed the reservation notice due to the 1 coin 1 thread policy. Quote Link to comment
+Western Mass Clan Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 NOOOOOOOO!!!! NO NO NO NOOOOO!!! HOW DARE YOU DEFLATE THE VALUE OF MY GEOCOIN INVESTMENT!!!! Kidding of course. If there's demand, go for it! Matt Quote Link to comment
+Smort78 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's OK by me. I'm just sorry I was to late for the LE... Quote Link to comment
+wigoweb Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Wigo would really be bummed out if we hadn't managed to get our order in. If anyone else has a grouchy old cachehound that wants some of these coins, we think it would be a good move to make more available. Gotta keep those cachehounds happy. Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Does this mean if we already have put in a reservation we have to do it again? (I have a reserve for a black nickel.) Or will you be ordering more coins to sell? No. Anyone that has already reserved through my reservation web site need not reserve again -- in fact, please do not or I'll be spending a lot of time correcting the reservation database. Again, you must have reserved through my web site. I did not take any reservations by email or PM. This is strictly for those that haven't ordered yet or want to add to their order. The one thread rule left many unable to order. I think this would help those to order a "laptop" coin that missed out. One thing I would like to see though is a post stating that the sale of the coins would be a certin day and time posted a couple of days in advance, this will allow all to know up front when a sale will start. Not just a reservation page poping up from know where. If I were out a few HRS later the night your coins went on sale I would have missed out, just some food for thought. Just for clarification, there will not be a "Sale date". Those that reserved will be getting an invoice via Paypal closer to the date that coins will delivered. Also, as an update, I'm still waiting on the second set of samples to arrive. Thanks.....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 April Fools!!!! I didn't even think of that No this in NOT an April Fools prank. That would just be cruel. ...Anthus Quote Link to comment
glennk721 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Stacy, Opps did not mean "sale" just a date and time posted ahead of time for a reservation so folks know before hand. Glenn Quote Link to comment
+UOTrackers Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I'm sure I missed it as I also stopped reading that thread (hate the 1 coin 1 thread rule) Will you be doing any trades? I don't think you have one of our personal coins yet. Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Stacy, Opps did not mean "sale" just a date and time posted ahead of time for a reservation so folks know before hand. Glenn No problem. Just didn't want people to think that that they would have to complete a sales order if they had a reservation -- just trying to cut down on the emails Thanks... Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I agree, the one thread per coin idea is not the best option. I saw the original thread and wanted to get one. Since I have been traveling, I havent been able to check all threads. I think you should open it back up. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I had posted on the thread that I would want one in each metal but I never noticed reservations being taken . I still want one to get some. Please send an invoice or post were to make my reservation. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Reservations are now open Hi all. I have the reservation web site up and ready to accept your reservations. These are not for sale yet -- just reservation. I want to wait until closer to when they are done being produced before I accept payment. So, when sales are opened, I will first send paypal invoices to those that have made a reservation through the web site. If any are left, then I will open the sales to the public. If you have already sent me an email or PM asking to purchase, please be sure to fill out your reservation on the web site. I will fill orders from this website and not from my emails or PMs. This is the best way to keep things straight. If you have any question, please feel free to contact me. Reserve your laptop geocoins here Thanks .... Anthus I don't know how I missed thereservations but I'd like one of each set ( red and blue) and a black nickel too. I hope it's still possible.
