Geocoins Adoption type question!

[+Wadders]

I've decided to get rid of my geocoins enmass, as they are just sat in my drawer doing nothing.

 

Can someone tell me if i sell them, is it possible for someone else to adopt them.

 

They have been activated, but never travelled!

Use the reference number located on the coin page, not the tracking number, and enter in the new owner's user name.

I tried selling a few of my activated/untravelled coins on ebay last year but didnt get much response. Maybe because they are secondhand or people dont want to be bothered with the adoption thing (Although its not hard). So mine are still languishing in a drawer like yours Terry. Let us know how you get on....

if you're not fussed about the money, how about putting them up as raffle prizes or similar in a local event? Alternatively, post them to

Not sure OP was offering to give his collection away........

If you list them here (perhaps with pic's) you may get a few people interested in purchasing them and then also taking up adoption.

They all sold on eBay a few weeks back... Made a tidy sum by all accounts

I sold about 75 coins last month that I had activated. Worked out well. Funny enough, two people didn't even know what geocaching was, they just wanted the coin. So now I have 2 activated ones in my inventory that aren't really mine since they don't have geocaching accounts. Kinda funny.
