+Clan Doyle Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for hanging in there with me I'm probably the luckiest geocoin vendor to have such a loyal group of coiners! I believe the tentative date for the next sale is Sept. 1st, cause we need admin, the programmer and everyone to be around to watch this when it's tested for the last time but don't quote me on that date quite yet.This should be plenty of time to get whatever needs to be wrapped up, finished. Shoot by then, the ET's will be in and maybe even some more Neptunes. Ok, off to pack some delicious frogs. tsun Well, I missed it, but I was after the albino, so it's all good. Trust me, tsun, we'll hang in there, if only because you give us real time feedback. I'm still waiting on a coin from a vendor that went out of business, so just knowing that we will eventually get what you promise is head and shoulders above others. Keep us posted! Quote
+LionsLair Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Someone wake me up from this nightmare! Ok, I ust got off the phone with Admin. and let's just say I totally went off for a good 20 minutes while they sat there in silence and listened. I've been patient, you've been patient and I couldn't take it anymore with being polite and understanding. To make a long story short, there is a communication problem between them and me; meaning they fail to let me know what's going on so I can get things changed to either delay a sale or get a new newsletter out to let people know what's going on. The programmer working on the cart is done but only on the "tester" site which no one bothered to tell me about after 3 emails of asking them if it was ok to get out a sale date. So sale time comes and we get the usual; crash. There won't be any more sales until September so they can test this last fix which literally will be the last one before we scrap this real time cart system. They have been made very aware that they need to let me know of every little step they are making. Some of you may ask why I am still working with them and the answer to that is; right now they have to fix everything pretty much for free, if I were to switch to another hosting company, I still need the store fixed but I'd be charged a couple thousand to have it done and I don't have that kind of cash nor do I want to fork it over for something that isn't my fault if you know what I mean. So I'm truly stuck for right now. Right now, no one is more ticked off than I am, this has become a joke and maybe I should ust stop here so I don't totally ruin the rest of my evening. Sorry folks... tsun Oh yeah, I got the Nutella up before the site crashed, so the other 3 never made it on to the site. I'm telling ya there are fewer glitches if you just send me an invoice and ship the coins to me! no site crashes, no phone rants. no headaches, no problems! sorry to hear you had a long day... hope it gets better!

+AlliedOz Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Hot darn! I was geared up for 8:30am....it's 7:30 am now but in Western Australia and I had even thought of that a couple days ago but ignored myself...so the sale is over. And I was up too listening to the garbage truck outside. Anyone got a trade for a nutella version....I will trade my personal... I got u covered GG Quote
+luckycharmer Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Steph, I thought I was just slow and was disappointed to not get a hopper tonight but really appreciate your immediate feedback. It's that kind of customer service that makes us all keep coming back to your store (AND THE GREAT COINS TO). it's to late to let tonight's sale stress you out any more, shut your computer off for the rest of the night and take a nice long hot bubble bath. Or better yet go visit your new puppy. Quote
+The Moop Along Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm looking forward to this sale. I just got home from a long night of work, and I'll be watching for them in 10 minutes. Thanks! Quote
+Howlingmoon Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm looking forward to this sale. I just got home from a long night of work, and I'll be watching for them in 10 minutes. Thanks! I think you misread something somewhere. The sale was four and half hours ago. And only the Nutella made it to the site. Those are sold out. Tsun said she hoped to get the rest up sometime near the beginning of September, once the people working on her shopping cart problems get their heads outa their... Well, yeah. Quote
+The Moop Along Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 You mean I missed them again?!?! Woe is me. Oh the humanity. What a day I've had. Oh me oh my Quote
+sunsetmeadowlark Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm going to have one extra Mythical Nutella. I would love to trade him (her?) for any other Cache Hopper version since I missed the first sale. Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 So I didn't miss out on the Golden & Blue Poison Dart frogs after all!! YAY!!! Umm... I mean, I'm so sorry you're still having cart problems, Steph. I truly am! It has to be soooooo frustrating for you!!! I cannot imagine being in your spot. I'd have no hair left!! Chin up, gal, it has to get better. CF30 Quote
+pandabeertje Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm sorry to hear that you have so much trouble with your site . And this makes me doubting if I should bug you with my problem or not . But I would like to have also the opportunity to add some little hoppers - and all the other beautifull coins you (are going to) make - to my collection ...... but I still can't access the site . Although I must say that my boyfriend doesn't mind this too much ... this way I can't get us bankrupt on your desings . But I'm not willing to follow that aproiche Quote
+pastor_b Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I will have extra of the teal, green, and black. I was not able to get a red/black nickel hopper, which was my favorite out of the bunch! Does anyone have an extra of that...so I can release it, of course... I would be interested in the teal, green, or black cache hopper if you still have them. One is enough - color does not matter as I am trying to collect Tsun's coins. I have an extra Nutella from yesterdays sale...still not sure how I got through as I have not been able to access the website for the alst two sales. Contact information is pastor_B at geocaching dot com (Bryan) Quote

+Howlingmoon Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I received my Mythical Nutella Cache Hopper today! Yay! But, I can't seem to get the activation code ? I thought they would be on CoinCodes.com ? Quote
+sunsetmeadowlark Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 My Nutella Hoppers got here today! They're smaller and made heavier than what I pictured which is really good since I expected them to be made more like the travel turtles (I have no idea where that thought came from!) and I love them! Thanks tsun for more amazing coins! I plan on releasing one of them. Maybe... Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I received my Mythical Nutella Cache Hopper today! Yay! But, I can't seem to get the activation code ?

+ThirstyMick Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Didn't you say these were going to be a stock item? I don't think we're gonna let that happen! I happened to be home when the last sale started, I was on my way somewhere when I checked the computer "oh shoot, quick load tsuns page" "load it?" "load?..." "Guess us obsessed folks, in a frenzy, brought her site down again " Stopped hitting refresh and went out wherever I was headed. Oh well, if we ever let them become a stock item, I'll have to grab some then! Sorry about the site troubles Edit: I scrolled up and read that it's problems with the site people I'm so sorry for all the stress Edited August 25, 2009 by ThirstyMick Quote
+BVnLJ Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) I think you can activate these at coincodes.com under cache hopper oops nevermind...doesn't seem to be working there Edited August 25, 2009 by BVnLJ Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Sorry all, been so busy and then on a mini-vacation, I totally forgot to send the newcodes off to Eric. I promise to have them sent in by end of week. Just let me catch my breath and get unpacked and prepare for my new puppy's arrival. I'll get emails and everything answered hopefully sometime this week, just got lots on my plate and everyone pulling me in different directions. tsun Quote
+The Moop Along Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Are you trying to tell me I have to wait for my codes to be active?@! Geez. Oh wait. I didn't buy any. Didn't buy any last time either. Nevermind. Go have fun with the puppy. Love ya Quote

Activation codes can wait a few more days as the hoppers get aquainted to their new homes. Temporary homes, of course! Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Slowly making headway on my "to do" list and I submitted the codes to coincodes.com. I would imagine those will be ready to roll in a day or so, Eric is pretty quick about getting those up and running. Sorry for the delay. tsun Edited August 27, 2009 by tsunrisebey Quote

+fuzziebear3 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I said I would release one, and I have it almost ready! I just need to make a travel card for it, and off to the wild it goes. Here is the page: Cache Hopper - Adam But this little guy is offering a challenge to all of you! Read his mission for details, but in a nutshell: If he finds another wild cache hopper in a cache, then I will release another cache hopper into the world, etc. So get those cache hoppers hoppin, and let's populate the caches with frogs!!

Hey I like this idea .... we have to attend a funeral this morning, but am going to activate and release a "girl" nutella hopper today so Adam can have a girlfriend. Maybe they should all be connected together when they meet and he can have his own little harem ; ) (I'll post later on today a link to ours) Quote

+sunsetmeadowlark Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 One of my Nutella Cache Hoppers is heading out into the big scary world! His mission is to have his picture taken with rescued animals and to visit caches placed near animal shelters. Wish him luck! TB35KX1 Quote

+grodan & fiabus Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Now I give up on trying to get me one of these beauties. And by that I mean getting any of tsuns lovely nicely designed geocoins. I have two earthturtles, one blueish and the green edition for christmas but getting any of her other seems hard. I love these hoppers and would like to trade even if I don´t have anything nice left to trade. My fiabuscats are sold out/traded out now. I guess I have to wait until I make our 3rd personal sometime soon. Good luck to you tryers out there. grodan Karin Quote

Well, even if you are able to get to a computer at sale time (which I am not), not enough are produced for everyone to buy one who wants one. But thanks for letting me know. It's not worth getting frustrated over. This is a coin that will be minted for some time. Unfortunately, I have to mint them in smaller runs because the majority of my funds are sitting on GFC coins and I just can't afford to mint as many coins as everyone would like. These are meant to be for fun and I am putting in another order this week. I run cointests on my blog and on my Facebook Page, if you check in here and there on those, you could win a coin much like others already have. The only thing I'm not currently on is twitter In the end, it's only a coin. tsun Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Great to see some coin releases! Just a fair warning, after I get a few sales under my belt for the Cache Hoppers, there will be some cointests for people who have released coins.
