+KarelKraak Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Saturday September 15th is the start of the 51th edition of the Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett, a race for hot air balloons. One of the teams which ones participated in this race (and is still very involved with it) are also active geocachers and had a geocoin made for this occasion (link to their profile). The front of the coin features a picture of Ernest Demuyter who won the race in 1922, 1923 and 1924. Because of this Belgium could keep the silver throphy 'for ever'. The back shows balloons with the flags of the nations which paticipate in the 2007 edition of the race. The coin is available in an antique gold, antique silver and antique copper finish: The coins are sold at the website of the race. The direct links: Antique gold (9 euro) Antique silver (8.50 euro) Antique copper (8 euro) Of course the coins are trackable with the following icon: Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I ordered one antique copper, and I see that the paypal transaction was successful, but CubeCart came back and said that the order failed. Can you check to make sure my order will be processed since I paid for it. --Marky Quote Link to comment

+WWC-World's Worst Cacher Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Knowing something about CubeCart. I think the problem is that they have not fully integrated Paypal to the cart, where it should automatically change the status when payment is made. I did send a little info to him about the problem.

+9Key Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I had the same problem when I set up the Trackable Treasures cart. There's some code you have to add in order to get it to work right. It wasn't too difficult. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps you can try emailing the GB-team via their profile. I don't handle the sale so I'm afraid I can't help you with this Quote Link to comment
