Akeybabe Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I won a Lackey 2007 Geocoin at an event. I have had a few opportunities to sell the coin. So I am wondering...Can the coin even be sold, or put on Ebay??? And if so how much are they worth? Thanks Eric... Edited November 4, 2008 by Akeybabe Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I believe the answer is no to ebay. The coin is owned by Signal, so selling it might be against the guidelines! Quote Link to comment
Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Please refer to this post by Miss Jenn (an actual Groundspeak Lackey) for information on ownership and selling of this coin. Thanks. Edited November 4, 2008 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote Link to comment

+Kealia Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Congrats on your gift - I hope you enjoy it! The reason you got offers to buy it is because they are sought after Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Oh wow..I guess that answers that question...........As a newer cacher I now understand that I was gifted something really cool.. Thanks Eric. Oh yes, you were gifted something really really cool... enjoy it. I had mine gifted by Jeremy the founder and president of Groundspeak... or at least it was supposed to be but he had run out so we went back and begged at GS HQ until Annie gave us one. No Ebayer is gettin their stinkin' hands on this baby!! No way, no how! Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I was gifted a first edition Lackey coin by Jeremy at GW5. At a recent local event, a couple won 2 (!) of the new Lackey coins through separate prizes, so I was able to trade a few coins for their extra one. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thank you for asking first. Some who didn't were really lambasted in these forums. Certain geocoins are considered very hard to get, and are sometimes only available by meeting the person who had them made, in person, and/or by being gifted these coins. Soemtimes by winning the coin. To turn around and sell them rubs people the wrong way. Trading it for other coins is not as frowned upon, but can lead to the treasured coin eventually ending up in the hands of someone who wouldn't think twice about selling it, even if that is not who the coin was traded with. Enjoy your coin, it shows all the people who work at Groundspeak on it. Quote Link to comment
+Let's Look Over Thayer Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I won a Lackey 2007 Geocoin at an event. I have had a few opportunitiesto sell the coin.

They are bad luck. You should get rid of it as soon as possible. And though it would be equally bad luck for me to have it, I am willing to make that sacrifice just so that you would not have to suffer... Quote Link to comment

I'll go a step further and replace that coin with one I'm sure you would love and could sell on ebay if you wanted! Quote Link to comment
