+Markwell Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 C'mon - Car Shades and Antennae Balls... Looks good. Quote Link to comment
+Allen_L Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Looks good, but a LED version would look better Quote Link to comment
+CompuCash Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Looks good, but a LED version would look better ... work better, be brighter, last longer, have better battery life, and just be all around cool too - does look good - should have a color photo to really show it off.

I agree, it IS in color, it's just silver and black. And I will buy a carshade sight unseen...I'll preorder! What about a hitch cover? Or a one of those little wavy things for the back window that looks like the pointer on my eTrex waving back and forth and I approach the cache Quote Link to comment
+GPSKitty Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 ......and antennae balls. I am eagerly and impatiently awaiting the antennae balls. When are we gonna get them. Huh, huh, huh? Pleeeeeeeze hurry. Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 What about a hitch cover? Ooh...I like that idea! Quote Link to comment
+embryomirror Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Looks cool, so long as the logo holds up and does not scratch easy or smear. Quote Link to comment
+woof n lulu Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 What about a hitch cover? Ooh...I like that idea! Me too! I have a Geocache sticker on my rear window, but being a tinted window it sure doesnt show. A hitch cover would really be neat! Quote Link to comment

Jeremy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 We're having difficulty stomaching the costs of the antenna balls. They require we order far too many in a batch. But I'm still working on it. Hopefully we'll have a better idea soon. The hitch cover idea is fantastic. We're working on a wheel cover already, but we'll see what we can do about the hitch cover.

+Jennifer&Dean Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I want the antenna balls, I would buy a few dozen and use them as trade items if they aren't too expensive. Hitch cover/wheel covers are an awesome idea also. Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Doing a Google search I see where you can get the antenna balls for around .68 each with an order of 200 or more. Sell them for 1.50 and your profitable. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Were the "I Found the Yellow Jeep Cache" shirts a hoax or a real potential product? I'd still love to get something like that. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Our antenna balls are much nicer, made of plastic and custom. Quote Link to comment
+Cherokeecacher Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) Doing a Google search I see where you can get the antenna balls for around .68 each with an order of 200 or more. Sell them for 1.50 and your profitable. El Diablo El D. is that any shape, or just your company logo on a round ball? That would be cool though, while waiting for the molded "signal the frog" version, to have the geocahing.com logo on a round ball. edited to stay on topic: The new flashlights are very cool looking. We will probably get some after the 15th. Edited September 9, 2004 by Cherokeecacher Quote Link to comment

That would be cool though, while waiting for the molded "signal the frog" version, to have the geocahing.com logo on a round ball. There was an option for several shapes, round being the most popular and practical. I understand where Jeremy is coming from by waiting to offer a more quality product. Maybe two choices Jeremy. The cheap ones would be good trade items. A quality Signal would be a must have collector piece. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+Anonymous' Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Those rockin flashlights look very futurific. Awesome! Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 We have been considering a cheaper, geocaching.com logo on a standard box antenna ball design. But we really do like the signal antenna balls. The problem is expense and the volume we have to order. Quote Link to comment

Pleeeeeeeze hurry. Cute ain't it! I can't wait for this one too. (Hint hint, nudge nudge.) Awww, that's a cutie. I like the fact that it is something that only cachers will understand, like a secret handshake. When you see one of those on the street or parked somewhere, you know you've encountered a cacher. But to a muggle, it's just a frog with a strange yellow knob on his head. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Brrr. Somehow, a frog with an antenna sticking out of his head is a bit much like those grainy lab films from the '50s, with the shaved cats and the wires and the electrodes and the walking backwards ...ehhh... The compass/flashlight is way cool, though! Quote Link to comment
+as77 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) I would buy one if the light was a LED and the compass was a good-quality, liquid-filled one. Edited September 9, 2004 by as77 Quote Link to comment
+as77 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 How big is this compass-flashlight thing anyway? It is impossible to tell the size from the picture? What type of battery does it need? Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaoss Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 We're working on a wheel cover already, but we'll see what we can do about the hitch cover. Good, the one covering the spare on my Wrangler needs replaced. eagerly waiting....and nice flashlight ! Quote Link to comment

+CompuCash Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) did some poking around on google - YIKES!!!! those darn little cheapo looking things cost about $3.00 each! no wonder they don't wanna pay - most companies of promotional items want 1,000 units up front - $3,000 is a big bite to swallow - --- edit - ahhh --- this is more like it -- http://www.promopeddler.com/Promotional_Pr...67220&cat=Balls Edited September 10, 2004 by CompuCash Quote Link to comment

But we really do like the signal antenna balls. The problem is expense and the volume we have to order. is it possible to come up with a price for the antenna heads, and take pre-orders? that might give you an idea of how many you would have to order. $3.99 or less and i would order 20. even if you didn't want to do the pre-order thing, there still might be a way of getting a basic idea of how many people want.

+Centex Trekker Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Maybe someone has already done this one, but how about a bumper sticker that says, "I'd Rather Be Geocaching." Or "If I wasn't going to work, I'd be Geocaching." Quote Link to comment

Or "If I wasn't going to work, I'd be Geocaching." The bumper sticker idea is something I could do myself professionally. My other job (besides pirate) is graphic designer and Xerox certified operator of the Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press. Let me know if there is real interest in this idea, how it could be funded, and who I could send samples of my work to. I would obviously get a price break at the company I work for and the quality that we print is second to none. I was also wondering, with the thousands of GeoCachers around the world, isn't there anyone who works at an antenea ball factory that could get a company discount? Quote Link to comment

Tahosa and Sons Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Cool compass and light. But one question, does it point True or Magnetic. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Pretty neat item, but when will they have more of the compass keychains? That's what I would like to have! Agree with the others -- should be an LED light! Quote Link to comment
gpstrekkers Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 cool light LED would a be nice feature. Also, what is the size of this light? Quote Link to comment
