CacheAddict.com Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Does this price include an icon? Provided the sales get to 250. I realize the policy has changed but the price has not. To provide an icon for 100 coins would be a $1.50 compared to $.60 for 250 coins. I don't think there will be an issue getting to 250 but can't gaurentee anything yet. Quote
+fairyhoney Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 My momma always said, "Life was like a barrel of Monkeys. You never know what you're gonna get." These are SO very cute! Quote
+Eartha Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 One has to ask. Did Milton Bradley/Hasbro give permission to copy their game? Quote
+BrierPatch Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 One has to ask. Did Milton Bradley/Hasbro give permission to copy their game? Face is completely different. Body is different. Back is different. Size is different. The real question might be will they hang? Quote
+grodan & fiabus Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Ohh, a coin for me. Any good guess on shippingfee to sweden? Trying to count on the cost to bring others into it also. grodan Karin Quote

+River Cacher Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 One has to ask. Did Milton Bradley/Hasbro give permission to copy their game? I hope they have asked. I have been working with Hasbro on some Geocoin approvals. My request have made it to the final desk for approval and it should be any time i get the final answer. This was one i was looking into but i did not submit this to there lawyers with the other request for copyright use. It takes a few weeks through there lawyers to to get the request to go through but it is worth it if it does. I like the coins though and i would love to buy some after they are made. Good luck Quote

+Hockeyhick Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Interesting! Looking over the geocoin budget as we speak... Quote
CacheAddict.com Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 ... and didn't I share this art with you once? At no point did you share the artwork with me. In fact this is not even my artwork, a customer brought the idea to me. If I had someone share an idea I would not use it unless I had a conversation with them. In most cases I would even offer them some coins, even if they said not to worry. This I have done already. Mike Quote
+ThirstyMick Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Very cute, I love his face. But a bit steeper priced than the last group project I participated in...what are the dimensions? And do you have a picture of the back? Is the color on the front the only personalization, or is there a line for text on the back? Something to think about... they're really cute. Quote

Mike it is only my two cents, but since this can not be construed as an "original" idea in any sense of the word, it is possible that more than person had the idea to copy the monkeys — making a geocoin. rsg Quote

+Cheesy pigs Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 They are adorable. If only I had an extra $200.......hmmm might have to frantically ebay some coins. I would want a glitter one! Quote
+usyoopers Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Do you get your caching name anywhere on the monkey?? Quote
+Cheesy pigs Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Can you show us a picture of them all hanging from each other? I know I am annoying..... Quote

+Mama Cache Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I dont see the back here or on the website. Does it have text? Or just an engraving spot? How do you personalize these? Thanks for the information! Quote

"41mm x 26mm, 3.0mm thick, Soft Enamel with 3 fill in colour on front + no colour on back, Nickel plated, engraved letter on back. Tracking information will be on back." Unfortunately, there is no picture of the back. Ya kow what would be cuter than the Tazmanian Devil "monkey"? Signal the Frog! Quote
+gardengorilla Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Normally gardengorilla would be all over this project but she's saving all her bananas for something special and personal. $200 is a bit steeper than the last group project that I was involved in. Is that really how much coins have gone up? Quote

I'd clicked on it, but somehow missed the size info! MIke... Did you mean to write "letters" or is it a single letter? Is it personalizable, or common? Quote
CacheAddict.com Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 The back is flat with traking info. When I get home I will see if there is room for a caching name. As is I had only planned to personalize with a color. Quote
+LionsLair Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 an original idea? could be debated... I had thought about a barrel of monkey coin sometime last year and had never read any thread on it before... but then I figured I'd run into trouble with copyrights... ...I like the taz, but not too family friendly... How about these...?? ...of course I'm in the same boat as gardengorilla at the moment and have a personal project I'm saving for... guess I'll have to pass on this group project... maybe next time... Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Man, I wish I had the $$$ for this, because this is a COOL IDEA and would be a lot of fun to trade with people for monkeys of various colors! Quote

Hopefully, I can trade for one of them down the road (unless I change my mind last minute ) edit to add: any decisions on whether a caching name will be added?

Still working with the mint on the caching name. will be limited in letters or two lines. I should have it figured out by Monday or Tuesday. DEADLINE EXTENDED! Quote
+FLIPPER&CO Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Love the idea, but $200 converted is way scarey at present. Maybe when they go ahead... some one will trade us just 1 would make a great addition to our shaped geocoins. cheers Gayle & Mark Quote

+BVnLJ Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Hi Mike....how many orders have been placed for these? If I ordered I'd like to try to make trades for all that were made and would need to know how many to order myself. Thanks : ) Quote
CacheAddict.com Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 Email issues with a converstion. I lost a few orders. If you placed an order for these please place a second reservation. I will not double any of them I just need to get the orders fixed. Sorry for the confussion. Quote
+The Graystone Gopher Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I also LOVE the design, just don't have the $$$ to put out right now. Is anyone considering purchasing a batch to sell individually? I would be happy to go that route and PayPal you the money to hold one for me... you could even turn a little profit on individual sales... Thanks, Jetta Quote
+Bergie Bunch Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Does anyone have any of these guys to sell or trade? Quote
