+Sepp & Berta Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 What has the flu to do with red herrings? Nothing except that both coins will be available at Sepp & Berta's "pink" shop http://www.mygeocoin.de on Friday 16th. 8 pm (German time) In the meantime 2 more coins arrived and so you are spoilt for choice. Influenzia SB/09 Virus Geocoins - Symptoms included (Fever, ague, insomnia) <°)))ox>< Geocoins - Yes, thats the offical name and such it appears at Groundspeak. It represents the red herring and wants to lay a false trail. Pure.color Geocoins - travel Ed.- made to make our travelling friends a little bit more colorful. A nicer and cheaper alternative to Travelbugs. In Memoriam Elias Geocoins I want to feature this coin from xxmurdockxx & Family especially. It was made in memory of their son Elias who died at the age of 2 years. The proceeds of these coins will be donated to a children's hospice. Please favor this coin in your purchase decision because it's all in good case. All coins have got an own Icon and are trackable at Geocaching.com See you maybe later at myGeocoin.de!

Nice, My bed is calling , it's 4:35 am Nice to see Sepp & Berta sent out a news letter explaining what's happening. Considering the flap they must be in they still remembered to inform, great stuff.

+tom4props Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was logged on at 11:00 AM PST (8:00 PM UTC+1) and had the 3 coins I wanted in my cart when the site went down. Hope I don't lose them. I'll be checking the site periodically. PS - Sorry Sepp & Berta... I'd sent you an email before I got the newsletter update requesting no emails. Please forgive them.

No. Not a single order went through because we hadn't the chance to "activate" the items. The server crashed before..... Sorry again! Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) S&B, has the provider given you an ETR (estimated time of repair) yet? (I need to know if I have time to go home from work.) Edited to add: By the way, THANK YOU for taking the time to post here and keep us updated! : ) Edited January 16, 2009 by Jackalgirl Quote Link to comment

Are they rebooting your server or do you have to wait till tomorrow? Im just wondering if I should keep sitting around here waiting or go do other things. Quote Link to comment
+yalehockeymom Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Maybe you can put off the sale so everyone has another chance. Say tomorrow..same time, same place. Quote Link to comment
+Sepp & Berta Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 The Hotline of our provider closed at 8pm our time..... So the only chance for us was to write an email. The next time we are able to phone the guys is tomorrow at 9am. We already ordered an upgrade of the server. I guess that the site will be up again tomorrow. Because of this we are going to split the sales start. The first half of the coins will be available when the site is up again and the second half will start later when you guys in the U.S. are awake So you have also the chance to order some coins. Many greetings, Sepp & Berta Quote Link to comment
