+luckycharmer Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 EASY ANSWER - The cost of a mcDonald happy meal has gone up and we have to pay more to get the silly toys to put in caches - easiest way to raise the extra money is to raise the cost of the coins. Nobody makes money off the higher prices except McDonalds. Quote

+sillygirl & jrr Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Most things are related to the decrease in the number of pirates... That's exactly what I was going to say... But since you said it already, the rising cost of coins is the fault of the big studio execs. Since they don't have to pay the writers, they are using all that money buying geocoins, and driving up the prices. Britney Spears may also be involved... Quote
+501_Gang Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Because people beleive that if they can sell it on Ebay for such a high price, everyone else would pay the crazy prices. If that was true, Moun10bike could sell off his for $1,000 bucks a piece and people would thank him for doing so! Quote
+Nochipra Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 So all the coin companies can get all our money and then when they have it we are all living out on the streets with nothing to wear but rags and nothing to eat, and we have to beg for everthing; then the coin companies can point their boney little pointy fingers at us laughing saying HA!!! HA!!! your in this predicament because you couldn't stop buying hunks of metal Quote
+dark_onyx1982 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 ..............all round and shiny...................*DROOL*................wait.............coin prices went up?

+Geo.Error Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The coinprizes went up because the coin buyer is {are} addicted They can not stop buying coins. People do everything to purchase coins. When they stop buying coins {example : because the husband told so} They going to: shudder shake don't make dinner anymore get grazy slaver no more hugs anymore {and other things} stay in the sofa all day and dawdle cry all day AND SO ON!! So the family and friends say please purchase a coin . PLEASE PLEASE And so goes the addiction on and the coin prizes rise further Quote
+mousekakat Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!! Don't you mean "Coinspiracy"? Dangit, Joni, you beat me to it! See, a definite COINSPIRACY here! Now for my reason... it's the government... we didn't listen and put on our tinfoil hats and the government has sent mind warping waves via our GPSr's to make us purchase more and more coins at a higher and higher price to try to avoid recession! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Naomi Quote
lordxtra Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Logic: I cut down on smoking my cuban cigars so I can afford to buy some coins = Govnt loses tax income from my lack of smoking = got to get it back somehow. Hey if I stop drinking Brandy as well?? Then coin prices will go up more! Anyone want to send me a couple of bottles of Carlos I to keep the coins prices down? Quote
+Cheesy pigs Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Well obviously coin prices are going up because the Mystery Coin people need to fund their generosity somehow! Just kidding by the way - I love the mystery coin people!!! Quote

+Marpomem Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Those darn coins cost too much because I have gotten into geocaching and am addicted to them. Everything I like costs too much. It's true! Therefor: It's all my fault for getting into this. I'm soooooo sorry, but I can't stop buying them. Quote
+Geo.Error Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The geocoin prizes are rising because China ask more money for making the geocoins. Quote

+backhiker Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Geocoins are more expesive due to the paying of royalties for the use of the word BLING Quote
+hollora Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Geocoin prices have gone up because there are trolls taking them out of the caches and putting them into their pockets. Quote
+mousekakat Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Because I'm unemployed and broke... the day I get a real job and we got out of the red, coin prices will drop ridiculously low and I can then afford to quit! Naomi Quote

ATMouse Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The use of metal containers for bison tubes and nanos and such have driven metal prices higher. Dern cachers. Quote
+USA 45 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Reason for every thing is going up is the fact that our Past Actor President and US Congress pass a bill to Deregulate.The goverment has no controll over pricing of any thing. USA 45 Edited January 16, 2008 by USA 45 Quote

+mrjiffy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Taken from the web: Causes of Inflation There are several reasons as to why an economy can experience inflation. One explanation is the demand-pull theory, which states that all sectors in the economy try to buy more than the economy can produce. Shortages are then created and merchants lose business. To compensate, some merchants raise their prices. Others don't offer discounts or sales. In the end, the price level rises. A second explanation involves the deficit of the federal government. If the Federal Reserve System expands the money supply to keep the interest rate down, the federal deficit can contribute to inflation. If the debt is not monetized, some borrowers will be crowded out if interest rates rise. This results in the federal deficit having more of an impact on output and employment than on the price level. A third reason involves the cost-push theory which states that labor groups cause inflation. If a strong union wins a large wage contract, it forces producers to raise their prices in order to compensate for the increase in salaries they have to pay. The fourth explanation is the wage-price spiral which states that no single group is to blame for inflation. Higher prices force workers to ask for higher wages. If they get their way, then producers try to recover with higher prices. Basically, if either side tries to increase its position with a larger price hike, the rate of inflation continues to rise. Finally, another reason for inflation is excessive monetary growth. When any extra money is created, it will increase some group's buying power. When this money is spent, it will cause a demand-pull effect that drives up prices. For inflation to continue, the money supply must grow faster than the real GDP. MRJIFFY's Reason: I think the coins are purty and I want more...... Quote
+GATOULIS Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hello to all!!! Greetings from Rhodes, Greece!!! I am so new to all these! There are so many reasons!!!! As I can see, you are from the States! Do I have a chance to win my first geocoin, if I live so far way (Greece)? Geocaching is a famous world game, and everyday itis becoming more and more famous with lot's of players / company customes (I mean that many new players will make their own geocoins)!! If something starts to have a collectable value, prices are just getting higher! Companies who mint coins like that, use this thing to earn more money!!! That's their job! *** That's one reason! Quote
+fairyhoney Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 So, you want the Real reason It's because China realized what a magnificent paragon they have in their lead production Quote
morninglori Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Well I can tell you that in Texas, the reason is because all the companies who used to mine for metals have all given it up to mine for Natural gas. It's starting to smell like the Exxon Valdez pooped here. ps. I am typing this from the top of a derrick. Quote
+USA 45 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Post 93--- Ground speak would not let me preview this so when it came up it had all kinds of HTML in it and it looked sick so I deleated all the stuff that was not suppose to be there. Sorry USA 45 Quote
+KrazyTrollz Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The reason coins are going up is because no matter what the cost, people are buying them 'despite' what the voices in their heads are telling them! Quote
