+sweetlife Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 We hope to get one. We wont be greedy. All we want is one so other can have a chance to get one as well. Looking forwardward to getting a coin, hope we dont miss out otherwise we hope to be able to trade with someone that got a extra one. sweetlife Quote
Hogwild Stuff Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 What to do . . . . What to do? The problem is always how to make everyone happy and bottom line is that we can't. So the coins will go up for sale at the time specified in the e-mail. It turns out that we did not receive all of the coins ordered. So there will be two additional sales on this coin: Once the initial coins have sold out and we have a good date for the balance of the coins they will be offered for sale with the limited quantities. Because there is such high demand for the first batch, There will be a limit of 10 coins per purchaser. If you order more the entire order will be refunded and canceled. If those also sell out, we will then do a two day pre order for additional coins - The additional presale coins will have a different finish / color combination on them. There will be no limit except for time on how many of these that are ordered. Quote
+dardevle Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 That is sooo cool to here about the pre-order ones "when" these sell out. Got church meeting tonight at 6:30pm so I might miss out on the first wave! Quote
+SecretChief Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Hi, Ordered a set. Can't wait to see them in person. Quote
+Sunrayers Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 YAHOO!! Me Too The Set is Sold Out Already Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Everyone coming down from their coin rush now? lol. Quote
+pghlooking Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Had a set in my basket and somehow it changed the quantity to -20 and said I was owed $660. Then it changed again and completely took the set out of my basket. Quote
+J10fly Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 wow I had my order in and complete for the set by 5:02 and they were sold out by 5:03 when i went back from paypal. Quote
+gardengorilla Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 got a set in my basket, then got kicked out and they were gone but then I got a silver....better on my pocket book! Quote
+gardengorilla Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Had a set in my basket and somehow it changed the quantity to -20 and said I was owed $660. Then it changed again and completely took the set out of my basket. yeah, that's what mine did too! touchy! Quote
+S&G.Davison Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Can't believe how quickly the sets were sold - I did get some of the others though. Anyone with the two tone LE I'd be interested in a trade - as will probably everyone else :-) Sue Quote
+Nochipra Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Whoa!!! Was that a sale or what? Got my two set though, Yahoo!!! Chip will be happy, he loved them when I showed them to him:) Quote
+Vanelle Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Holy moley. All of them are sold out already. I feel lucky I managed to get a set. Does this often happen with the coin sales? As a closet coin addict, I'm relatively new to this. Quote
+KrazyTrollz Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 can't wait to see them, they're wayyyy cooollllllll!!!!!!!!!!! arrrrrrr Quote
+seaeye Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Everyone coming down from their coin rush now? lol. lmao ....it IS a coin rush!!!!! Quote
+rsfish1 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I think the problem lies with the CubeCart they use for check out. Seems like it was talked about here before how it messes up a lot. Oh well! Got a couple of silvers and a gold. No set like I hoped. Life goes on... Quote
+lindsychris Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Set listed as sold out as of 8:01 EST--WOAH! Got several silver and gold though. Quote
+Shop99er Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Had a set in my basket and somehow it changed the quantity to -20 and said I was owed $660. Then it changed again and completely took the set out of my basket. Same exact thing happened to me. What's up with that, anyway? Edited March 26, 2008 by Shop99er Quote
+Boogus Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Whoa. Well these just went on sale. And it looks like they sold out in about 8 minutes or less. I was lucky enough to get 2 gold versions before they sold out. Quote
+DresselDragons Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Avast! I be getting me swords! Cannot wait to see them! Quote
+buddyluv4 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Set listed as sold out as of 8:01 EST--WOAH! Got several silver and gold though. Not sure how many "sets" there were, but if people ordered 3 at a time it wouldn't take long. Can't wait to get my AE's in hand. Thanks all. Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Everyone coming down from their coin rush now? lol. lmao ....it IS a coin rush!!!!! It's fun just to be an observer to all the craziness sometimes, lol. Glad you enjoyed yourself Quote

Maine Family Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Got a gold. Not bad for slow dial up. I was surprised I got that. Quote
+Team Teague Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Oh well, I really wanted just one of these. I had it in my cart, and then it was gone...just one stinkin' sword Quote
+JoenGPS Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Well apparently there were no lesson learned from the 2007 Compass coin fiasco. Had the basket filled with two sets and two each of the singles (mandated 10 coins) and the sucker came up with 46 sets.... dumped me out..went back tried 5 each of the singles..too late...negative numbers. Ya know....some coins are just not worth this ........can you learn the word pre-sale? geeez Edited March 26, 2008 by JoenSue Quote
+usyoopers Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Sets were sold out, thought I had two silver then they disappeared from my cart, was able to snag two gold...gotta love these quick sell outs! Quote
+darnjoeSNARG Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I totally lucked out this time after taking a beat down on a few other coin rushes. I usually end up forgetting my password or something foolish like that. The coins in your basket are up for grabs until you head for paypal. I hit a few wrong buttons and tried to go back. Website didn't like that, so I just went ahead and paid. Looks like it worked out. Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I am totally coinfused - I just got an email announcing the sale. I went to the website and it says it starts today at 5pm, but you are way behind GMT so I'm sat here thinking there is no way I can sit up into the small hours and now I look at the thread in the Forum and you have all been placing orders and its a sell out. I'm crushed Quote
+emzernask Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 If anyone has an extra for trade please contact me. Didn't get any. edited to add: looking for any finish pls email sent Quote

+Hunter of Sock Monsters Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 wow these went quick. totally forgot to refresh my browser at the specified time and missed out. hopefully I can get in on the next wave of sales.... Quote
+hollora Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Had a set in my basket and somehow it changed the quantity to -20 and said I was owed $660. Then it changed again and completely took the set out of my basket. Yup - had a similar thing happen to me. Oh well! We knew this wasn't going to be flawless or seamless. I am sure they tried. Quote

+Cach-U-Nuts Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Wow...that was FUN!! Just like in the "old days" sitting here on pins and needles hitting the F5...F5....F5 and then suddenly it's time for action...should I go for the singles or wait for the set...oh man was I nervous!! WooHoo....got 2 sets Can't wait to see these gems!! I only need one set so if someone else wants my extra set, shoot me an email - Congrats again on a GREAT coin!!! Mrs Cachu Quote
+0R0B0RUS Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I logged in at 4:59pm. I was lucky and got in right when the sword set was moved to the new items page. Clicked buy and went right to checkout. The time stamp on my receipt is 20:00. As soon as I got thru PayPal, I went back to the store and the sets were all sold out. And then I finally read the info on the page - wow we also get a bonus sword!! Very kewl and very smooth. I think the pre-order thing is a great idea. Swords for everyone! Quote

Hogwild Stuff Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Thanks for all the support. I know there were some problems. Since no Geocoin Seller has big volume it is always a problem with a coin that has so much interest. We have received several e-mails of problems and it will take us a day or so to sort them out. In the next 48 hours we will add back the coins we have not yet received (same two finishes as currently listed, but no more LE's) There will not be a huge number of them, but some. We will also be adding two new finish / color combos. One will be a shiny gold the other has not been determined. The number of them sold will only be limited by time. This sale will start at a more Europe Friendly time. Probably early morning PDT. Another email will go out with that info as well as being posted here in the forums. Quote
