+Sunrayers Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Most certainly buying coins unique to the Event (and any others I can afford) My traders are kinda ordinary. Quote Link to comment
+lindsychris Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 A little of both--mostly buying coins exclusive to the event since we're having new personals made (trade only, event only) Quote Link to comment
+bnpkidz Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 We plan on bringing a few to trade, but mostly there to buy coins and make some new friends. Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Buying coins that are new and/or for the event, and trading. Quote Link to comment
SCYoli Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I would love to mostly trade nerds, beans, and GCF coins but I also plan to do some serious coin damage! Good bye hubby's 3rd quarter bonus. Quote Link to comment
+Sparticus06 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 A little of both for me. I dont have to many to trade with and I most certainly dont have much to buy with. Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I think I will buy a few, How much money should I bring? Bring all of it. That probably still won't be enough. Quote Link to comment

+fox-and-the-hound Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Bringing plenty to trade, but if I see a great design or a coin sporting a new technique I'm sure I'll splurge Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 With all that's happened and happening, I'm still hoping to be able to attend. Will be planning on riding out as I certainly don't have the money for other means of travel, so not much room for anything save myself and camp gear...maybe a coin or two but nothing of import. I'm hoping to snag a few coins there, as many as my meager budget will allow! Will be planning my route soon, hope to hit a few caches along the way as well! Any suggestions appreciated!

+the jesters Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yes, I will be buying geocoins. I just hope that my maill carriers feelings won't get hurt. Quote Link to comment
+kf4oox Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 As I only have a couple of trades, I don't think I will get much for them. I will try to buy. But with my job situation I don't have that much money so it will be just a few. (I have more fingers on my one hand than what I will be able to buy) So I will be mostly looking and talking. Thanks kf4oox - Paul Quote Link to comment
+ScoutingWV Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Are you planning to buy some coins? or mostly trade? Trying to figure out how many coins to bring? Are you wanting to know who intends to buy from or trade with you so you can plan accordingly? I'm done buying coins completely. I'll trade with my personals and any of the ones currently in my collection. When I'm done enjoying those (or if I get a decent offer), I'm selling them or giving them away.

+BrierPatch Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 So how does buying coins work at these things? are there stands and vendors sell them or are there tables and individuals sell their personal coins? Do you just walk and talk wheeling and dealing? I have never been and am very nieve at this sort of thing. If I wave a big wad of cash will people try to cheat me dry? is it a buyer beware? or are most people fair? Is it the more you pay the more its worth? I guess I will find out in October.

Yes, there are stands at which vendors can sell coins. There are a number of reputable dealers at the event. Coins should probably cost between $7-$10 range (maybe a few special ones are more). As for individuals selling, they shouldn't be since they don't have the required county sales license. I will be buying coins and trading coins. Quote Link to comment
YemonYime Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 There are a number of reputable dealers at the event. Dude, you really have a way with words. What he's saying is that only vendors that have secured permission with the GCF Organizers will be permitted to sell things at GCF. These people have either paid a fee, or made a tangible investment into the event. It's really not appropriate for others to "set up shop" and hock their wares. The GCF Crew would appreciate it if everybody please respect these guidelines. Besides, there will be armed guards and snipers strategically placed around the ballroom, and they will open fire on anyone who Mark deems to be "disreputable". Quote Link to comment
+BrierPatch Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks I'd better get to the bank before I leave. Quote Link to comment
+BrierPatch Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 So to answer the question I will probably be looking to purchase about 20 coins at the event Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's really not appropriate for others to "set up shop" and hock their wares. The GCF Crew would appreciate it if everybody please respect these guidelines. Actually it is even more than a guideline, it's the law. In order to sell at the event you MUST be on the vendor's license. Anyone selling that is not on the license will be asked to leave by property management. There is no second chances and this is out of our control. Quote Link to comment
