+surteb Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Coin prices are up in a race to get the prices as high as possible before the "Forever Coin Price" - modeled after the Forever Stamp - goes into effect. Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 It's along the same line as why all calico cats are female...just accept it and move on. Quote
+Wij Drie Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Because the smurf did smurf the smurf. And the other smurf smurfed the left smurf which made the middle smurf a big smurf. that's an easy smurf. tot cache, team Wij Drie Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I now have no money so of course the price of everything goes up including geocoins Quote

+DaFunkyFrogs Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Because they are getting prettier and prettier, and we all know how much pretty costs. Quote
+Geo.Error Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 You can notice that the Geocoins get more expensive because they now quicker disappear. {IS THERE A VOODOO SPELL FOR COINTHIEVES } Quote
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Bill Gates is about to buy the coin producers! Quote

Tooeygeotrashed Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Coins keep on getting more expensive because the quality is improving, both in design and production. Quote
+surteb Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 What does happen to you when you take the road less travelled? You probably don't find any caches or geocoins. Quote
+501_Gang Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 To keep those who don't have much money from making their own coin. If they were so cheap to make, everyone would be making them and no one would be bying them. Quote
+lelle1987 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Why coins are getting more expensive? Global warming of course. The global warming melts the ice around the North Pole, which makes it harder for Santa to get his work done. Less North Pole = less working space. This has made Santa invade a part of Easter Bunnys chocolate factory, which, understandably (is that even a word?), has made the Easter Bunny pretty upset. To get rid of the invader, Easter Bunny has hired Superman, Spiderman, Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, Eddie the Eagle and Cruela de Vil and made them form an anti-Santa army. This army uses very large amounts of kryptonite, spider web and fake dalmatian furs in their guerilla warfare inside the chocolate factory. However, Santa has developed a very clever defense against this, involving reindeers, eggnog and wrapping paper. He has also managed to get financial support from Uncle Scrooge as well as magical support from Tinkerbell and professor Dumbledore. This leads us to the conclusion that...ehrm...that... Could someone please repeat the question? Quote
+ArtieD Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Quote

+DaFunkyFrogs Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Just like at Target (or any retail store) prices go up to cover loss from theft. So, if coin thieves could be stopped, the price of coins would stabilize. Quote
+OwlCacher Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 To promote expensive geocoin awareness day, which was whatever the day was this cointest was started. Quote
lordxtra Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Frappuccinos..........Arn't they just the best After a Cuban Cigar..... I think its because we all love them! Quote
+woodduck870 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Because they are using distilled air in the bubble wrap now for shipping Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 The Irish in me makes me think that all the leprechauns of the world are taking coins and putting them in their pot at the end of the rainbow. They are trying to decrease the supply and through that drive up the prices. Now if we could just find that pot at the end of the rainbow it would instantly increase the supply and the bottom would fall out of the geocoin market! Quote
+501_Gang Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Because the geocoin makers have formed a union. Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Because the Fairies are charging more for all that glitter. Quote
+The Skylark Four Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 because each coin now has a dark Belgian chocolate centre Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 It's another form of "sin" tax... First smokes, then booze....and now geocoins! Quote
+501_Gang Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 because geocoins went from being a reflection of the person making them, to a money making opertunity. Quote
+OwlCacher Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Because money exists. We gotta use it on something, right? The more money we spend on geocoins the less we have to argue with ourselves about what we spend the rest on. Quote
Theotokos Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 A heavy frost wiped out 50% of the coin crop in China Quote
+Geo.Error Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Money is round. Geocoins want to be purchase. Thank goodness. Quote
+PSU Fan Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 What is the cost of shipping 1 of these more expensive coins....The US Postal Service can't figure it out and they are the ones shipping them throughout the US Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 We all have way too much disposable income, market forces determine prices whatever the commodity. My Gran would say - 'it wouldn't have happened in my day'. So let us be thankful that we are not living in a hole in the road and eating coal ! (Reference from Monty Python's Flying Circus which might not be so well known across the pond). Quote
+ArtieD Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 because geocoins went from being a reflection of the person making them, to a money making opertunity. Because geocoins are both a reflection of the person making them and a way to make a little extra money. Quote
+501_Gang Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 because geocoins went from being a reflection of the person making them, to a money making opertunity. Because geocoins are both a reflection of the person making them and a way to make a little extra money. because to others, they are a way to make a lot of extra money by really over inflating the prices.

+Carbon Hunter Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Geocoin trees have been badly affected and the crop this year is not very good, leading to increased prices. Quote
+Geo.Error Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 The dna from the gecoins is exchange. Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Ever see blood diamond? Fairies, elves and leprechauns are hording the geocoins to keep prices high! In a warehouse somewhere, there's a huge stash of coins. Let's find it!! Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 If you average in the free coin from this contest, the cost of geocoins is actually coming down---but only for the winner. Quote
+surteb Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Coin prices are up because the goose that lays the golden eggs has been "stopped up" for a while. Quote
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Ever see blood diamond? Fairies, elves and leprechauns are hording the geocoins to keep prices high! In a warehouse somewhere, there's a huge stash of coins. Let's find it!! I thinks it's a 5/5 cache! Actually the prices are higher because the designers are needing to pay medical bills for spectacles after poor eyesight after designing so many coins. Quote
+OwlCacher Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Prices are going up because people are entering this cointest rather than buying geocoins. Consumers will want to buy the geocoins before they go up even more. Quote
