:idea:
For those with trackables they don't want to release you can always log them in and out of caches you like and write up an ongoing log of your caching activities via the tracking. Of course you wouldn't bother with driveby's but if spending a day out caching, going interstate or to an interesting cache it's a usfeul way of building a geocaching blog with entries in one place rather than spread over heaps of cache logs.

All coins are out

Post by ADAcache » 07 May 06 4:01 pm

I have finally completed the mailout of the "paid for" coins so everyone should have them by the end of next week. For the 7 people who have not paid for their coins, I will be sending another e-mail to your accounts to let you know what is going on. If you have changed your mind about the coins please let me know, as I have a few people who are interested in purchasing more.<br><br>

Once again sorry for the delay, and for anyone thinking of doing this themselves let me know and I will spell out the required work to make it happen.<br><br>

Now to get on to E-bay..... :twisted:
I assume Damo was joking, but the matter needs to be considered.

It is inevitable that sooner or later one of our coins will appear on eBay.
Personally I'd be very annoyed if this was done first by a Septic, but others may not feel the same.
I have suggested to ADAcache that he "get in first" but he hasn't replied yet.

How does everyone feel about this matter?

Once the coins have been sold, I don't think the original owner/creator can really say much about what happens next. I know of a few cachers that believe you should release all the coins you buy and that collecting trackables is wrong.<BR><BR> but buggr em.. I'm keeping mine and a couple to be used as prizes

Our coins arrived Friday and we released one today. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details ... f334341547

This is the first time we have released a trackable. So hope it doesn't disappear. We drilled a hole in the edge to attach it's mission, so hopefully that will help to keep it moving and not collected.

Thanks Adacache for all the work.

Cheers Quilter

Just adding my voice to the many others! Received my coins on Friday and they are even better than I could have imagined. Thanks for all the work, it must have been a mammoth task!

Now to convince myself to let one out of my clutches!

Thanks again
Peter

Received my coins a couple of days ago.
Very professional - will set one off on a voyage in the next couple of weeks, but will have to keep some for the geo grandkiddies - so they can flog them at Cash Converters in 50 yrs time!!!!!!!!!!
Well worth waiting for
Thanks ADAcache

OK, for those of you who where wondering just how unique you coin purchase was, here is the final count.<br><br>

Coins Made - 600<br>
Cachers - 80 (including myself)<br><br>

I am not going to release who bought how many as that is their buisness.<br><br>
