This first post is a list of all the unactivated coins I have available. I am placing them on ebay a few at a time as I can type up descriptions for them and take pictures. I'm posting the whole list here to give you all a heads up. I am donating all sales, so I'm not interested in trades or lowball offers. You are welcome to post the ones you are interested in and I will try to list them ahead of the others.

 

You may also suggest fair starting bids. Remember, this is a fundraiser.

 

Once I get thru the unactivated ones, I'll start on the activated coins in my collection that can be adopted to your user account once sold.

 

It has been very fun collecting these coins, but this is a chance for me to let many of you enjoy the fun and excitement when an old collection is divided up while also allowing me to put the money to use for even more people to enjoy than were currently enjoying my coin collection.

 

Everybody wins.

Enjoy,

I sent the OP a PM. I'm posting it here too, as I have not heard back. Please remove the non-trackables from your list, failure to do so will result in this closure of this thread until it is done.

 

What is your motivation for this?

 

 

 

1. The forum guidelines

Specifically this part:

This forum may be used for selling, trading or giving away of geocoins which are trackable on Geocaching.com. This includes any trackable coin produced by an individual, business or geocaching organization. Non-trackable coins may be posted for trade by individual coin owners. The proceeds from a permitted coin sale can be used for any purpose, such as personal profit, support of a geocaching organization, or to benefit a charitable cause.

 

2. It's my job. I am the volunteer Forum moderator here and it's my job to keep these forums from becoming too commercial, guidelines must be followed.

 

3. The coin tracking policy.

Specifically this part:

Selling Trackable Geocoins:

If you wish to sell your Trackable Geocoins for profit or otherwise, you may do so.

 

If your coin is non-trackable and bears the geocaching.com logo, it may NOT be sold unless specific written permission has been obtained from Groundspeak to sell the coin.

 

Any more questions? Have you read the guidelines? Now, please remove the non-trackable items you have posted for sale, or the thread will be closed until you do so.

I have emailed Groundspeak for permission.

In the meantime I will look thru my coins and identify the nontrackable ones.

The trackable ones are still for sale while I wait.

Let me know which ones you want first.

To whom it may concern,

I'm selling my entire geocoin collection for a fundraiser.

I am not keeping any of the money.

 

I would like to sell the entire collection including the early coins (that were made with permission)

that were made with geocaching.com logos. Some of these coins are not trackable since that was before geocaching.com offered this service.

 

I am told that we are not allowed to sell any of these early coins even though we were allowed to buy them. - unless we have Groundspeak's permission.

I am asking permission to sell this collection (individually) on ebay at this time.

This is a one time project and I am not asking permission to be able to sell any others in the future.

I just want to sell off my collection.

I understand that you are looking to preserve your company images and trademarks and protect your legal interests.

I also understand that you offer the permission route as a way to allow such efforts as mine.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You don't have to have permission to sell the coins, what Eartha posted was the forum guidlines which states you can't advertise non trackable coins for sale via the forums.

This thread has been re-opened with permission from Groundspeak. This permission is for the particular coins discussed between the OP and Groundspeak.

 

Note: This shall not be construed as blanket permission for anyone to sell non-trackable coins across the board, all guidelines still follow. Permission is given on a case by case basis.

I was wondering if the profit from the $5 shipping was going to the fund raiser as well.

Never mind, I saw that shipping includes insurance which explains the higher price.

 

Actually, I'm eating the shipping and insurance and the orriginal amount paid for the coins and the ebay listing fees.

The total amount paid via paypal is getting donated.

 

I have a bunch of the geocoins listed here:

You may want to consider dropping some of those prices.

 

Many of the coins that you still have listed for sale have been there since May 14th and are still not sold. Could be the consumers providing feedback = food for thought.

 

Indeed...

 

$40 BIN for a Kansas?? $50 BIN for a Scotland???? :D

I understand this...but some of those prices...say, for the Scotland coin...isn't that like 3-4 times the original cost?

 

This isn't a thread to debate what we paid for the coins. I'm donating what I paid as well as what they sell for.

 

Here are a couple non-fundraiser coins that went for more than they cost. :rolleyes:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2005-COMPASS-ROSE-GEOC...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/Royal-Flush-ACE-159-Ge...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

Incidentally, I have seen several fundraiser coins end for over a few hundred dollars which is probably more then they cost.

 

This is a thread to let you know coins are available if you want them and are willing to pay what is being asked. If you can find the coins cheaper, enjoy.

 

Thanks for looking and spreading the word to people who may be interested.

These coins are all from the early heyday of geocoins and some of the recent entrants to collecting may not have had a chance to get them. Here is their chance. Like anything that may not be readily available anymore, the price goes up the harder they are to aquire.

Wow, this one even went for $117.57
