+grodan & fiabus Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 As a newbie I have questions about trading coins. Would you trade for activated coins that can be adopted to you? Just activated coins no other logs. Would you trade for activated coins that also has been discovered by others, say one or two maybe more logs? As a new coiner I activated all of my coins and let other discover them, I don´t do that anymore , just the ones I know I will keep, but are the others still good to trade?? Like to hear your opinions since you guys here has done this much longer than me. Thanks, grodan Karin from Sweden. Quote Link to comment
+cache agent Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My answers to your questions... Yes. Yes. (and I would leave their logs) Yes. (in my opinion but I'm not in this for money just for the shiny and prettttyyyy of the coins ) Going to check out your activated list of coins.... I might be interested in doing some trading....

+Steinwälzer Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If that's a coin that I really want and can't find it anywhere else, I would trade for an activated one, too. I prefer coins that are not activated, but most of the time I activate the coins that I want to keep in my collection because I too love the icons in my profile, so in the end, I guess it doesn't matter if I activate it or if I adopt it.

+PengoFamily Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I don't mind trading for an activated coin as long as I am told up front before the trade. Except for a few exceptions of coins which don't transfer ownership I would prefer to have it adopted over to me and I would keep the logs. Quote Link to comment
+grodan & fiabus Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 That sound good. Then I have some more to offer in trades. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If it's a coin I really want then, yes. Normally no, I like to trade for unactivated coins. Quote Link to comment

+Smort78 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I activate all my coins (except those I buy extra for trading) so I don't mind trading for an activated coin Quote Link to comment

+T"n"T Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 We too trade for activated as long as we know before hand and yes we would adopt it and yes we would keep its logs. Why not you get to see what it has done, gone, or who it has visited. That's the fun part. Quote Link to comment
+SeabeckTribe Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If it is a coin I want for my collection, then yes I will trade for an activated coin to adopt. I started out activating all my coins then the geocoin thing got way out of hand. Personals, States, GeoClubs and non-geo related coins. So I had to make a choice as to what coins I wanted to keep. I opted for personal coins. So now I have many non-personal coins that have been activated. It is hard to find adoptive homes for them. Good luck to you Lummieh aka Ole Woman of the Tribe Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If i really need (want) the coin then sure. But generally as a rule I prefer unactivated. Quote Link to comment
+grodan & fiabus Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 It sounds like there is an opportunity to get those coins going then. Let´s give it a try. These are activated and discovered and I´m willing to trade them and adopt them to the new owner. I love geocoin coin, http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1558604 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1558538 and the Happy Cacher coin chimneysweeper, tadpole, horseshoe, A bit´o´luckgeocoin, brown cachers tag I now have limited my collecting to coins shaped as animals and coins shaped as food/beverages and I prefer the trackable ones. Maybe this should have been posted in the traders tread but I think it is better here since I popped the question here. I also have some unactivated parrots. lettuce and a cockatoo to offer. Thanks for the answers so far. Karin grodan (grodan is swedish for frog) Quote Link to comment

+grodan & fiabus Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Anyone elso who like to give their opinion in this question? I´m curious and willing to trade away those coin mentioned. Quote Link to comment
+seaeye Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have never actually traded a coin with anyone before but I have purchased activated coins from others. I kind of like having some logs on them. It adds to the history of it. Quote Link to comment
