+Team FIREBOY Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Darn Karma. I sure like this coin, but someone has pinched my money. I have a big mess to come home to and fix with my bank. Hopefully I can get it fixed by Dec 1st. I am having a wonderful time here in Aussie, except for the bugger trying to take all my loot. Nice design. Lovely pictures. Jodi Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 They seem nice, but when I saw that there were 3 versions and 3 metals in each version, I decided to pass. Quote
gridlox Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Glad the presales go until Dec. 1! If my wife leaves me any $$ after her yearly After-Thanksgiving Sales dash , I plan on ordering a set. VERY NICE!! D-man Quote
+dorkfish Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 They seem nice, but when I saw that there were 3 versions and 3 metals in each version, I decided to pass. Why out of curiosity? We chose 3 different pictures to show some of the different areas of Idaho. The coins looked nice in all the antique finishes we ordered samples in so we decided to offer them in all. Nobody has to buy all the editions, in fact most people are just buying 1 or 2 coins total. Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 It seemed a bit much/over the top for an annual state coin, IMO. I also didn't like having to prepay. I'm really tired of that practice. I understand why you need to do it, but that doesn't mean I have to participate. Quote

I'm really tired of that practice. I understand why you need to do it, but that doesn't mean I have to participate. I typically don't like doing presales myself but since the Idaho residents have the ability to customize the non-trackable coins a presale is the only way to go for this coin. There will be a very small amount of extra trackable coins available for purchase once the coins arrive though. Thank you for your explanation. Quote
+GPX Navigators Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 We really like these! Checked them out on the site and they look great. Since we cached this year in Idaho and explored some great parts of it - and we got to do that with Karma - we're happy these coins came up. Nice job chica. Great pics! And they got Jeep! Gotta have those off-road coins. Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Those are really nice looking coins! With all those choices there should be something for everybody's taste! LOL Quote
+River Cacher Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 After all the months of work and decisions on these coins I will be getting plenty of these for my collection. I hope everyone enjoys these and is able to visit the cache locations that are on these coins. Quote
+dorkfish Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 This is just a shameless bump to let everyone know that there is one more week to place your order for these coins. I've heard a number of concerns from people worried about spending their money on presales after what has happened in the past from some other geocoin companies. I just want to assure anyone who may be concerned that your funds are safe with me. I strive to make all of my customers happy and am an honest and reliable person. These coins will be ordered promptly on the morning of December 2nd, no later. Thanks everyone & Happy Holidays Quote
LoriDarlin Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I've seen these samples in person and they are great!!! Can't wait to order mine!! Love the choices of coins and I appreciate the people behind it who helped make it happen....RiverCacher, Dorkfish and YemonYime....kudos!!! ps We know you are an honest & quality minter Karma Go Dorkfishcoins!!!

+MustangJoni Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 These are great coins Karma! I have no worries about a pre-sale with you! You meet my "criteria" - samples made, and an approximate due date. You also have a long track record of great communication with your customers. Quote
+Frank n Beck Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Very nicely done, now lets see what I can do with our budget, LOL! Quote
+Toojin Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Well, of course I had to get a few of these... Quote

+IDLookout Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Ordered mine! p.s. - the Lake Pend Oreille coin photo was taken from GCG946 Quote
+River Cacher Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Ordered mine! p.s. - the Lake Pend Oreille coin photo was taken from GCG946 I am glad to see you got some coins since your Photo was used on one of the coins and was taken at that cache location. Quote
+River Cacher Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I will be giving away a FTF Series Geocoin to the first cacher that finds and logs all three of the caches on the 2008 Idaho geocoins starting NOW. Goodluck Quote
+River Cacher Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Since we have a Geocaching event in Idaho tomorrow night we had decided to keep sales open until tomorrow night. Good luck on getting your orders in. Quote
+dorkfish Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 Just a shameless bump to let everyone know they have until midnite to place their orders. Thx Quote
+River Cacher Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 cool i have 2 more hours to decide on what i am getting. LOL Quote
+dorkfish Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Just wanted to post a quick update to those of you who ordered these coins. The mint believes they will be shipping on December 22nd or 23rd. If the mint stays on schedule then I will be mailing out all the coins between December 26th thru the 29th. Will post updates once the coins arrive. Quote
+dorkfish Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 These coins arrived yesterday and all orders have been shipped. I hope everyone enjoys their coins. Any extra coins will be available for purchase through the website on Christmas sometime. Happy Holidays Quote
