+bikr Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Hey primo.. still around though I haven't posted lately. Tracking doesn't matter so much to me either, but numbered would be cool. GOWT works for me, but I hope my feet don't start to hurt. It would put a real damper on my caching. Like I said before, just let me know when you need the cache?? cash?? Getting my homonyms confused here... lol
+primofam Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 Hey everyone. I just got word today. We have a back side of the coin. It will be sponsored by travelertags.com. We will have their logo from keenpeople.com and then tracking from travelertags.com. YIPPEEEEE. This has taken much longer than I had ever expected. When I get the proofs on the coins back (hopefully tomorrow) I will post a link so everyone can view them. At that time, I will pay the 150 to start the die process and then get the order for 500 set up. This will be around 1300 bucks or so. I am going to pay it and then let everyone know what the individual price is. I will make sure my PayPal account is set up right and let everyone know the details. Thanks for the patience. I think everyone will like the coin. So far, we have color, Tracking, a cool logo and GOWT . Pictures to follow. Primofam.
+Gibbenator Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) Awesome primofam!!! Thanks for doing all the leg work on this one. I'm sure all the GOWTs appreciate it . I still chuckle everytime I think about your FTF log in Just Ducky - Revived Edited October 19, 2004 by Gibbenator
+Ed & Julie Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Just found this thread...I'd love to order one or a few! Keep us posted Ed
+primofam Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Okay everybody. We are REALLY close. Here is the next to the last proof on the West Tennessee Geocoin. They have the webpage to link to the tracking misspelled. I really like the look of the coin. If this link works, check out the coin and let me know. Pricing to follow soon. Should be below 2.75 per coin but I'll know more when I finalize the proof. GOWT-Geocachers of West Tennessee If I ever learn how to put pics in my posts it would be easier.
+Nurse Dave Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Traveler Stags eh? I bet that really is a site.
+primofam Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Will somebody please tell me how to do that?
+Jamie Z Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 When you make your post, see all the buttons about the text box? Click on the button. It will prompt you for a URL, where you put the address where the image is. Jamie
+primofam Posted October 30, 2004 Author Posted October 30, 2004 Okay, so I'm not crazy. I keep trying to upload it from my hard drive. Sure, linking to a web site would be easier. I want to upload it from my picture files. My head hurts. Paid the $150 bucks this week. they are working on the sample coin and then we will begin production.
+Spencersb Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Can't wait! I'm ready to order when you're ready to take the cache...er...I mean cash! Have you done a rough count of how many orders you expect to have? I mean, is there any danger that you'll sell out the whole first 500 immediately? I'm thinking about 30-35 myself, depending upon the final price.
+ArmandoM Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Have you done a rough count of how many orders you expect to have? I mean, is there any danger that you'll sell out the whole first 500 immediately? I'm thinking about 30-35 myself, depending upon the final price. That's a good idea! When the WA State geocoin was in the works, they were thinking that 500 will be more than enough. The final order was for 1300 coins!!
+primofam Posted November 2, 2004 Author Posted November 2, 2004 Okay, unless something changes that is unforeseen (big word and probably misspelled). The coins should be ready first of January or so. Here's the breakdown of the price ($2.85 per coin). 2.15 per coin .40 for tracking number .30- this is $150 die fee divided by the 500 coins _____ 2.85 per coin. This does not include shipping. Everyone help me out here. Not sure how much they will weigh and I haven't done much shipping. I will be happy to charge the actual shipping/handling but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I have a paypal account- if I can figure out how to get money out of it. payment should go to mprimeaux@jpc-pa.com at paypal. I am taking the first 20 coins. So the next 480 are up to grabs. As you can see, there is NO markup on the coins. If you would like, any donation to www.travelertags.com would be nice as well as they are providing the tracking. Thanks, Primofam.
+Kitch Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 payment sent... should be enough to cover shipping.
+Spencersb Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Mike, I just sent my PayPal payment. This should be good for about 30 coins, plus priority mail shipping (2 pounds in a 6x6x6 inch box is about $4.00). If it's more, just deduct a few coins. If it's less, keep the change, you've put a lot of time into this. I appreciate it. One favor...I assume the coins are numbered 1-500? I want coin number 357. Any numbers before or after are fine, I just want that number, if you don't mind! Thanks! Steve Spencer Alias Spencersb
+Nurse Dave Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I'll take 10. Don't have paypal, but I'll get you the money somehow.
+bitbrain Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 I'll be sending you my Paypal $$ for 20 or 30 in the morning.
+primofam Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 I'm getting everyone's paypal notifications. I'll post here when the coins are all gone. So far, there are 320 left (or so). I have looked at other geocoin site. These folks are ripping people off!!! The Canada Geocoin is almost 6 bucks! If a little no one like me can get a coin made for 2.85, these guys are making a huge profit margin (almost 50% from every coin). I may be niave and not realize they have mucho, mucho overhead but I think they're sticking it to folks. Just a layman's observation. When sending payment by PayPal, please include enough for shipping. If not, I will likely deduct from the amount of coins. Thanks again, Mike
+Ed & Julie Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I sent payment via PayPal for two (2) coins plus shipping. Thanks!!! Ed Nelson The Badge & The Butterfly
+jcar Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Are they all spoken for yet? I would be interested in a few. Thanks!
+primofam Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 Nope. There are still a little over 200 coins left to be reserved. Thanks! Mike
+Mountain_Wanderer Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Sent paypal payment for 10 coins. Thanks
+Pepper Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Oh my gosh "I did it" I sent money. Dang that stressed me out, but it's done and I got myself two coins! Thanks Pepper
+hammerjane Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) I just sent $ too for 5 coins and shipping! Thanks, hammerjane Edited November 17, 2004 by hammerjane
+Team Tillery Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 I'll take 5 too. Have you figured out the shipping yet? I'll send you an even $20, that should cover it.
+bluegillfisherman Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Sent $20 by PP for 5-6 coins. Thanks bgf
+Hoot Owl Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Thanks for all your work! I just sent Paypal for 25 coins. Hoot Owl...
+primofam Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 (edited) Well, I got the sample coin in the mail today. I am pretty happy with the look of it. They are going to begin minting the 500. Keep the orders coming. So far, about 220 are sold. Let's get about 250 or so more ordered and I'll be very happy. Thanks to everyone placing their orders and such. If I can ever figure out the way to put a picture up here, I'll get it! I can't believe I actually did that. I've been trying to figure that out for months!!! Edited November 23, 2004 by primofam
+Bob&TheGang Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Hey, I want about 5. where do I send the $? Is there an order web site?
+GEM's Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Sent you some Money hope to get a couple coins.
+primofam Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 You can thumb back through this thread for more info but you can send payment via PayPal.com and send it to mprimeaux@jpc-pa.com. The cost is 2.85 per coin. Please add some extra for shipping. Thanks, Mike
+Spencersb Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Is there an order web site? Not yet, but we're working on it!
+KC0GRN Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Sent some money via paypal, hopefully enough for 4, assumming they're not all gone yet (I'm usually the last to know of these things, so I always miss out).
+Touchstone Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Payment on the way (via Paypal) for five. Sent a little extra for shipping costs. Looks like a great coin []
+Night_Hawk Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 The coins look great. I just sent a payment through paypal for 5 and I added extra to cover shipping.
+Square Bear Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Just sent enough to cover 5 coins plus shipping
+Allanon Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 From multiple posts... added extra to cover shipping How much are people adding? Those of us that are anal-retentive need to know how much to include.
+primofam Posted November 24, 2004 Author Posted November 24, 2004 How much are people adding? It varies based on how many coins you are ordering. It looks like the folks that have ordered coins before are saying $10 should cover 3 coins and shipping. Like I've said many times, I have no idea. I'm just hoping it will be a wash. Some will short me a little, others will give a little extra. I just want to get this coin out there. Thanks,mike
+Allanon Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) Doing the math...err...ummm...carry the one... $.50 per coin. Yep, that's what I would have included if I'd just done it and not asked. Thanks. My order for 5 will be in in a minute. Edit - Payment made. Edited November 25, 2004 by Allanon
+Night_Hawk Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 How much are people adding? Those of us that are anal-retentive need to know how much to include. I sent $19 for my 5, so that comes out to just a bit under $1 for each coin. If I remember correctly they charged 75 cents per coin for the Washington coins, I just added a bit extra to help cover for someone who may not be able to give as much.
+willcall Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 Sent $20 for 5 -- appreciate it. Always excited to expand my sorry little collection
+Team Noltex Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Hope you aren't out of coins yet. We just sent you $20.00 for 5. The coins look great!
+workerofwood Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 If they are still available, I'd like 5. Just sent order via Paypal
+KC0GRN Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Any new word on these coins? Hopefully the minting is proceeding soon
+Nurse Dave Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Well, I got the sample coin in the mail today. I am pretty happy with the look of it. They are going to begin minting the 500. Keep the orders coming. It usually takes between 4-6 weeks to get coins after the minting starts.
+bitbrain Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Just sent my order for 10 Coins.. Dave who? I ran into somebody wearing one of your shirts at Target in Collierville a couple of weeks ago...
