what a deal

March 25, 2005

It will be interesting to see if anyone actually bids on that.

March 25, 2005

does anybody know if that is even allowed by ebay (i know they'll put any junk for bid - but coords??) that's almost like purchasing a pinpoint size piece of real estate, isnt it?

Can't Jeremy use his Irish powers to down this auction? That's almost "selling" geocaching.

Sealed in a large tupperware bowl that I superglued just to make sure it would be water tight.

Dang, why didn't I think to superglue the lids on my caches to keep the water out.

No but it is in a "puplic place"

Wonder if it's anywhere near this cache?

At least they didn't spell it "pubic place"

Gee, something on e-bay that I might even have the top bid on . I might even get another FTF

Then I can give it to Alamo, maybe if he gets into PS2 we could catch up to his number of finds

I don't see any mystery caches anywhere near Vian, Oklahoma.

This cache is in Vian. Nothing within 15 miles except Trads and one multi.

The closest mystery cache is THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. That cache is over 30 miles away.

Mrekidd doesn't even have a logged find on a Mystery cache.

I wonder if it's not listed yet, or listed elswhere.

I'm reading this as he's auctioning directions to a cache, not ownership. Am I mistaken?

that's what I got. Isn't this almost teetering on the commercial/soliciting issue. I know it is not registered as a geocache, but that's infringement (or something of the sort)! This guy is capitalizing off the game - AND he's a Geocacher (not very good hider, I see)

That's just a guideline for listing on geocaching.com.

I know it is not registered as a geocache, but that's infringement (or something of the sort)!

Anyone is free to list or advertise a geocache in any way they see fit. There are a handful of listing sites, and I'm also aware of a few people who list a few caches on their own personal websites.

Using eBay is a strange way to list caches, but that's between him and the bidders.

March 25, 2005

GGGrrrrr... i'm sure Jeremy could make all of us in the forums permanent PM's with the money he could make with a cache settlement on copyright infringement, right?

I don't get the impression he plans to list it anywhere - why give the coordinates away for free when you can sell them?

It almost sounds like "high bidder take all" (since you'd have to cut the superglued cache open).

Too strange. The easiest way to make this go away for no one to bid on it. Unfortunately, someone probably will!

Why buy the milk when you can get the lactating cow......FOR FREE!

I must have this.

I'll open the bidding at, um, $1,000. And when I get it, I'm not sharing.

Heh. I can see it now:

EBay Acquires Geocaching.com Listing Site

Hmm.. never thought about bidding out locations of caches. Perhaps he's on to something...

Not

Nah. No market for it.

What you want to do is bid out the approver and moderator positions for the forums. That's where the real money is.

Hmm. Well we will ban users if you provide enough bribes. I'll be the first. I need the break

March 26, 2005

Hey I live in Cleveland, Ohio. In the picture I see sunshine and green plants. Right now, I'll bid on those!

Now THAT is a case where Jeremy would have some legal standing. I doubt that guy has permission to use the copyrighted logo for his commercial enterprise.

I think you'll find you are buying the co-ords to the box and then you get to keep the box and all of the 'goodies' inside it.

It's not just co-ords, it's for the whole container.

Nothing against ebay rules on that, nor against GC rules.

I don't get it.....

He'd undoubtedly get more money selling the actual items then selling them as what is essentially a "grab bag" type thing...

Hi

But that assumes that the cache actually contains items of value.

March 26, 2005

So if this thing sells for .50 cents (that would suck cuzz I know there is much more value in this) so be it and if it sells for more well then woohoo

The sheer eloquence has me contemplating a bid....

Don't all plastic containers found under a pile of sticks , in the middle of the woods , hold items of great value?

Why else would they be there?

March 26, 2005

For the crap they sell on Ebay, not surprising. But he superglued the container shut to keep moisture out?? What a genious!

Wow, I didn't know ebay allowed bids of half a cent.

It's not surprising he thinks there's much more value than half a cent in the container. It might be worth as much as 20 cents!

March 26, 2005

I really think that could be it Mopar - somebody should go check that location and grab it right from under his nose!

March 26, 2005

but the starting bid is .99?

March 26, 2005

Hey why not, I have a dollar in my paypal account gathering dust.

If I win anybody want to go find it?

1.6k · March 27, 2005

Where do you live magking, do you live anywhere near the cache location?

March 27, 2005

I live in Washington, so if I win I can give someone the cords and they can find it. :huh:

March 27, 2005

Win the auction, get the coords, then enter a listing for it here; just find a volunteer in the cache area to "own" it... But don't bid over $1, that being my guess as to the total value of the items in that container. As soon as the FTF confirms that it's a bunch of broken McToys and inkless pens, you can archive it. :huh:

March 27, 2005

I think it's a great idea he's selling this container and it's coordinates. I'm sure someone will bid on it just to get a FTF :huh:

Then bitch at Jeremy because they can't get the number added to their stats

March 27, 2005

I live in Washington, so if I win I can give someone the cords and they can find it.

We are about an hour away from Vian (and have relatives there, pretty sure he isn't one of them). If you win, we'll go find it for you.

March 27, 2005

All I know is that is not a real Tupperware container! Shame on him for not knowing what he is selling!
