It's officially over, the deadline was last night 9PM EST. We just won't know if the regroups got all updated til Chuck responds.

The final list is set!

There may be some updates to clarify finish on a few coins, but the numbers will not change.

Please use the sheet labelled >> USE THIS SHEET << to build your wishlists!

Deadline for submitting your wish lists is Sunday, February 7th at 9:00 PM EST.

more confused...found a highlighted space that says use this sheet, but no sheet available? Help?

3.3k · January 29, 2010

I'm going to post this here so that maybe a few other folks can take a look at their lists. I originally listed 50 coins for trade, but now I only have 37 coins. In all the edits, some of my coins went poof So take a quick sec. and see if all the coins you listed are still there.

TMA

1.3k · January 29, 2010

uh oh.

That's not good. All of mine are there. Maybe the easiest way to fix that would be to get the missing coins added back on at the end of the list?

January 29, 2010

Moop, I noticed six missing from my list - the bottom six, to be precise - yesterday. Chuck asked me for the details and inserted them (again) himself.

I just checked the "Use This Sheet" again - not the copy - and all of mine are still there, thankfully! Hopefully the numbers won't change... Ashallond's suggestion to add anything missing to the end might be a solution?

I wish I had noticed them yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't, and everyone is already making lists. Without my numbers. I already got penalized with the 50 coin max deal, and then I'm double dipped :lostsignal:

I'm sure he'll respond soon and we can make it work.

I downloaded the file on january 12th and there you already had just 38 coins listed. I took a look to make you happy by presenting the coins you are missing. :lostsignal:

Well, I never had to look back and see that all my coins were there until now. When you create the want file, you have to input all your coin IDs into a matrix. Otherwise I just assumed they were all there until tonight.

I think some people did some manual inputting into the spreadsheet instead of using the form. Remember earlier on that there was a mass edit that had to be done to replace some missing coins.

Well, I *did* have 50 in there Looks like I was missing 12, but they were a tough 12 to lose. Three versions of the Garmin UK coins, two mystery coins, and some other older HTF stuff. Chuck is taking care of it now.

Well, I've got my want list done, but will hold off sending it in to make sure the numbers didn't shift, and see if any other of moop's coins are ones I want. Even though I've noticed I'm really 'wanting' on about 3 main themes. I'm just hoping for a coin or two out of the massive list. I'm just hoping that I don't get shut out.

You have to go to the spreadsheet, and there you will find the new sheet that Chuck was referring to.

Yup. Go ahead and revise, update, or otherwise resend your wishlists as often as you want. I'll just silently curse you while I labouriously redo all the painstaking work involved in adding your wishlist to the master list.

Ok two questions (apologies if they have been answered already...):

1. If coins have been grouped (ex:0728A, 0728B, 0728C, 0728D) do I use just the number (0728) or do I list all four?

2. Am I using the number 0728 or 728?

Thanks, CF30

You just list the single number for the group. And you can drop all the leading zeros. I just added them to be able to sort the list 'alphabetically'.

Just want to share what I did with all of you. Not very smart but I prefer to let everyone know just in case someone did what I was going to do.

I had my list ready for a while because I didn't want to wait until the last minute. This morning I realized that the coins didn't have the same ID on the Coins offered list as the ones on the Use this sheet list. Oh!!!! What a big mistake I was going to do

I made a new list with the right ID numbers and I'm ready to send it. I may just check everything again one last time to make sure everything is now perfect.

Thanks for not laughing at me

I did the same thing, but knew not to use the ID numbers. Instead, I listed coins I liked with the cacher nick who was offering them. I don't know if this made it any easier to create my want list numbers string though.

same here without the name, but got to work on it again with the list printed and redo it for my want list. A last look and I'll send mine tomorrow.

im a lil confused, but im gonna print the list, and then the 2 posts of instructions and read thru it again and again till i understand fully

February 1, 2010

I've got a *complicated* question about variables.

Let's say I created the following variables:

(ModelCitizen) %DragonLadonV1 : 414 479 645 646 942

(ModelCitizen) %DragonLadonAll : %DragonLadonV1 478 647 648

Now, for my Nocturnal (777) I'll take any Dragon Ladon. But for my Planisphere coin (781) I'll only accept a Version 1 Dragon Ladon. So I make the following want list:

(ModelCitizen) 777 : %DragonLadonAll

(ModelCitizen) 781 : %DragonLadonV1

Here, finally, is my question:

If the algorithm picks a non-Version 1 Dragon Ladon for my Nocturnal coin, does that lock me out of getting a Version 1 Dragon Ladon for my Planisphere coin? In other words, if the %DragonLadonAll variable is matched, and it contains %DragonLadonV1, does that mean that the %DragonLadonV1 group is finished and won't be matched?

Ow! My head hurts.

Well, your question makes perfect sense to me. But I don't know the answer. So rest easy, I'm sure Chuck will be along to drop you the answer.

I'd say no, because they are separate variables, but I'm not that familiar with the software to say yes or no.

On an aside, I hope the only thing you want for the nocturnal/planisphere is the Ladon. I don't have one of those in the trade.

No, my want list is much more extensive than that. That was just a simple, pared down example to illustrate my question.

Good, cause that nocturnal was one of my top three wants. Not that I'll probably get it, but I at least wanted to have that hope.
