+AtwellFamily Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 GeoScooter – Pick Your Personal Color This idea was first brought to the forum by Fluttershy. With her busy life she has been unable to complete the project. I have decided to try and help her out some. I received pricing from the mint to do these as follows: 45mm(1.75") x 3mm thick with imitation hard enamel. The plating would be nickel. The artwork changed slightly (see attached) based on collaboration from Allie and myself. Originally these were going to be sold in 100 count lots to personalize. The price is based on production of 1000. The price is as follows (and I think you will agree it is good pricing): 100 pcs - $5.00 each 50 pcs - $6.00 each 25 pcs - $7.00 each Shipping will be flat rate of $12.00 US and Canada and $18.00 worldwide. Personalize your colors. The main body color and the seat color. Your combination will be unique to you on a first come first serve bases. I will not let the same colors be used by 2 people. Glow and Glitter colors are available to those who order 100 pcs lots. The front mold is $90 so if you wanted to personalize your scooter a bit more you could change the wording "GeoScooter" to something else like you caching name. Again this would only be an extra $90. Now the timing... I would like to gauge interest and make sure I still have enough to make the project work (we need to order at least 1000 coins). By Jan 4 I need to have the numbers figured out. Order samples and get them in hand, 30 days (Feb 4). If we have a close number but not enough I will be opening sales to the public for a few colors (none that are selected already and the plating will be in copper). I hope to have delivery around Mar 15. Payment for personal mold would be due by Jan 4 if you want samples or Jan 30 if you don't. Payment for coins would be Feb 15. This should give everyone enough time to recover from Christmas bills. If you are interested please send the following information to me at mike @ atwellfamily.net: Subject: GeoScooter Email address Real Name Geo Nick Quantity Main color Seat Color p.s. If I have you on the list already, I just need you to tell me the number of GeoScooters you would like. Quote Link to comment

+sillygirl & jrr Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I need a little help. The image below is from the original thread. Can anybody tell me what the PMS for the "Cricket" color below is? Or how to find out? And if you know, can you please answer in this thread. (I'm getting the scooters as a surprise for sillygirl (she doesn't read the forums unless I send her a link). Back when the idea got started I figured they might be a birthday present (October), now we'll have to see what holiday comes up. I'm looking for the chartreuse bright green not too much yellow color in the art below, but can't seem to find it on the chart Mike sent us. I have found the R,G,B numbers and its hex triplet....so if anyone knows how to translate those to PMS it would be helpful too. Thanks, jrr Quote Link to comment

Price from mint is different if we get less. Quote Link to comment
