I think I will have to look into this- has any one heard of it- may be an answser to missing TUBGS- Got this in an email this morning frmo a person I had contacted about a missing tubg of mine that I grabbed back from his cache-

"I hear you about the travel bugs. I have launched two and two coins. The coins I have luck with, the bugs? Not so much. I have lost both of them, back to back two weeks apart. Interestingly, someone noted that they are appearing on ebay, (Buy this rare Grinch Travel Bug!!!). "

I haven't looked for the travel bugs on there, but boy are they getting good prices on the coins! Even coins that you can still buy right now from the original source for about $6, they are getting $20-$40 on Ebay. I've started collecting coins for myself and to give to my dad, but I'd never put them in a cache..got hooked after I had grabbed and placed the Alaskan coin...now I want to get my own Alaskan, so will probably eventually trade.

I wouldn't sell that Kitch.. Pepper's been watching some of those auctions. Heh.

Besides, I got a trade worked out with her, if I ever get my geocoin minted (BTW I met her in person at a caching event out in washington).

yeah I figured you were jokin.

I've been tempted to toss some of my extras up on ebay, just so see what they'd go for.... but then I decided it'd be better to help some new collectors out instead and sell em at reasonable prices. heh.
