+mobster75 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Buon giorno! I just wanted to let any adventurous folks know that I've placed this past week a cache in Atina, Italy (regione Lazio, provincia Frosinone) that has a US $50 prize for first person to find it! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=58228 In boca al lupo! - mobster75!

+fairplay Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I would never criticise somebody who has new ideas and works for the comunity of geocachers withour eraning anything. But I personally always tried to keep the money factor out of this. So why should anybody be paid for finding your cache ... hello Quote Link to comment
arbalo Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 dear mobster, if you pay 500,- $ - I wills start directly!! b rgds alex go eat go sleep go geocaching Quote Link to comment
+mobster75 Posted March 23, 2003 Author Share Posted March 23, 2003 Sc out, I posted the prize for it because I feel is a rather complex cache (both in calculations to do before leaving, and in the ability to get near it) and since its in a somewhat isolated area, (small town, no major tourist attractions), I thought I would provide a little incentive to trek out there I understand your philosophy, and I normally agree, but made an exception this one time. - mobster75!

+Divine Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 If the hider wants to provide a FTF prize, it's fully ok with me. No one has to go searching for this particular cache. I agree that this hobby is great, because everyone with a GPSr can join in for free, but having money for the FTF prize is not much more than an expensive cache treasure. I wish I was in Italy so I could go hunting this one. - All you need is a sick mind and a healthy body. - Quote Link to comment
+fairplay Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Of course you're right !! And I would be the last one to reject money. But I simply wanted to ... yes... eh... what did I want to say? Yes, money isn't everything... but sometimes hehehe... Money is great , geocaching is great. So a cache with money is even greater !! hello Quote Link to comment
