+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 After some modifications this is the final design for our GeoTag. What do you think? I will post pix when our first order arrives. Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Really nice 'Tag, Dark_Onyx! I would love to trade 'Tags with you when you get them! CF30 Edited June 7, 2007 by Crowesfeat30 Quote Link to comment
+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 for sure ..............when trading coins it is customary to activate them before shipping them off? or not? Quote Link to comment
+Smort78 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) It's not common to activate the coins you trade, but you could activate an extra coin and ask if the reciever will release it for you. Edit: Forgot to say - I will also trade with you Edited June 7, 2007 by Smort78 Quote Link to comment
+wsgaskins Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 That is a lovely design! If you are trading coins with someone, it is almost NEVER OK to trade an activated coin unless the other person has agreed to accept an activated coin for the trade. And then, if both sides agree and it's clear that an activated coin is being traded, then you should send and adoption offer to the other person so that they can 'own' the coin. Now, as others have said, I have sent along *extra* activated coins -- usually overseas -- to places where I wanted my coin to travel. And if that's the case, then you should prepare the coin as you would any other traveler, with a goal sheet, tag (if possible), and sturdy bag to travel in. I'd love to trade GeoTags with you when yours are completed. I hope that CoinSwag gets the details worked out soon so that we can put in new orders. I guess yours is already in process with them... ?

I wasnt sure what was going on with that. I have already been charged and they did the die art, but I have not approved it yet because I has a couple of questions. Some of the greys look alike and i want to make sure they are usung raised metal in the right area. Anyways I noticed they took Geotags off of their website the past couple of days. Whats up with that? Quote Link to comment

In our transistion from myself to Jake there is a bit of an issue ith pricing. Trying to work out with mint. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment

Is the transistion going to cause a possible delay in email response or production once the artwork it approved? I won't be expected to pay more will I? I have already paid in full including extra for my extra colors. A little extra wait is not a big deal, I was just wondering. Quote Link to comment

+hdmama2002 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have been looking into making a tag of my own but am slightly confused. Is there a difference between a cache tag and a Geo Tag? Quote Link to comment
+hdmama2002 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Oh, I forgot. I do like your tag. I hope your experience in making these has been a good one. Wish I had read the thread when Atwell Family stared these months ago. Quote Link to comment

I'd love to answer that one -- just ask anyone... GeoTags are full fledged geocoins: * Trackable on Geocaching.com * Custom Icon, shared with all other GeoTags * 1.25" round x 2mm thick CacheTags: * Trackable on a different site, but not on geocaching.com. * 1.12" round x 2mm thick Both are customizable on one side with your personal artwork. Both have a hole to attach to a keyring or traveling item. Edited June 7, 2007 by wsgaskins Quote Link to comment

There will be no delay in making your tags they are still on track. The reason that we do not have GeoTags on our site right now is we are trying to get the pricing worked out, the way things are looking if we continue to produce GeoTags the price will have to increase due to the fact that the first order of GeoTags was in the thousands and therefore the price was allot less then future orders of under 100. We are currently evaluating whether or not the tags will still be marketable at a higher cost. One option we are exploring to keep cost down is to only offer GeoTag orders in larger groups. An idea I had was to create a mailing list for all potential customers to be notified when the next group order has started that way a larger order would be made and the cost would be lowered.

Is there a difference between a cache tag and a Geo Tag? wsgaskins pretty much answered the question already (thanks!) but I do want to point out that CacheTags are not trackable. www.cachetagtrader.com is on each coin but it is not for tracking but rather a trading gallery for all tag owners to help with trades.
