Son of Cyclops Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 $17 US is just way too much Quote Link to comment
+Damenace Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 $17 US is just way too much No wonder they have "some" left over ! At that price I would be curious to know how many is "some" ? I am guessing that in a few months they will still have "some" for sale ? Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 They're nice. I wish I could get some, but I can't justify it at that price, sorry. Quote Link to comment
+Toojin Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I especially like the Rising Sun and will hopefully be able to trade for one someday... Quote Link to comment

This isn't eBay and if you have to use that arguement to justify your high prices, then you know you they are overpriced. Quote Link to comment

That's why I offer a lower price. Besides that, you are free to buy or skip this one Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I just wanted to comment that when I order a coin in a german shop I pay something from 7 - 9 EUR for a Coin (sometimes less, but most coins start at 6,90 EUR) and shipping costs are something around 3 EUR. That makes 10 - 12 EUR for for a single coin with shipping. The prize for this coin contain international shipping costs, so the price is not a very high price. It is not a bargain, on the other hand, but it is definitively not too high. Unfortunately the exchange rate from EUR to $ is not that good for you, so it makes a quite high $ sum for you. But here in Europe nearly all coins are that expensive (I don't know fazanten, and I don't have anything to do with his coins or selling them, and I don't get a free coin for writing this..., I just realized that the prizes are not that bad as they might seem for you) Quote Link to comment
+Bhob Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'll chime in here on exchange rates Several years ago, I went on vacation in Italy for two weeks The exchange rate then was about 0.7 dollars for one euro (or $1 = 1.4 euro) I was amazed at how inexpensive things were The situation is now reversed - to buy a euro costs you about $1.40 Back then, an item priced at 12.37 euro would have cost you around $8.65 (which would have included shipping, in this particular case) You can say that the dollar got weaker, or that the euro got stronger - your choice Postage to move an item across the pond is also a factor, but that costs more no matter which way you are sending it On the other hand, folks in Europe should find geocoins sold in the USA to be very reasonablely priced right along about now Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have relatives in Germany, and they say it is very expensive to ship out of Germany, even just sending a letter. So, there's my 2 cents (now, how much is that in euros?). Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) On the other hand, folks in Europe should find geocoins sold in the USA to be very reasonablely priced right along about now Yes, that's true! And that's the reason why I can justify the expenses of up to 9$ for shipping (usually it is something around 6-7 $) per order... As for shipping costs, a few examples (these are just for letters of different weight): - sending a postcard to the US costs 1 EUR (1,38 $) - sending a plain letter to the US costs 1,70 EUR (2,35 $) (letters up to 20 g) - sending one coin to the US costs me 2 EUR (2,76 $) (letters up to 50 g) - sending two coins to the US costs me 4 EUR (5,53 $) (letters up to 100 g) - the secret misson package I sent out: 8 EUR (11,06 $) (letters up to 500 g) - Letters up to 1000 g: 12 EUR - Letters up to 2000 g: 24 EUR (A Letter has to have special dimensions and sizes, or you have to ship it as a parcel, which is even more expensive...) These prices are without the costs for mailers and handling which a shop usually will have to add, and without any insurances etc. Edited September 11, 2007 by Steinwälzer Quote Link to comment
delta123 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Got a set of these coins (all colors). If anyone wants to trade let me know. Quote Link to comment
+The Klever Boys Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Are the quoted costs the same for Europe too? I'd be interested, but wondered if the cost is assuming they are going to the US/Canada or something - which would usually cost more. Quote Link to comment
+salmondan Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Similar question- what would be the cost to ship to Germany? Have a friend living there and will be visiting in the near future. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Bhob Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Postal rates from the USA to just about anywhere in the world can be determined here - postcalc.usps.gov Rates from other places in the world to the USA vary greatly Some nations see the mail as an important component of commerce, and strive to keep the cost down in order to promote trade Others see it as a source of income (a type of taxation), so the rates there are higher Yet others try to strike a balance, or have other agendas You can get as much (or as little) detail as you like via your favorite internet search engine Quote Link to comment
Fazanten Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Similar question- what would be the cost to ship to Germany? Have a friend living there and will be visiting in the near future. Thanks. Within Europe, the shipping costs are less.
