Good Evening all. I am just doing a copy and paste of the email/newsletter I sent out. I just wanted to get the information posted on the blog.
Hello Everyone!
I will keep this email short. The 2nd minting of the Earth Turtle Oceania coins; Bora Bora, Fiji Islands, Maui and Australia will be available for sale on September 1st (tuesday) at 4:30 pm Montana time (MST) which is also the same as Denver, Colorado. There is a tsun version and additional Tahiti coins but those will be coming with me to GCF. The tsun version will not be for sale at GCF, only for trade.
The Cache Hoppers will also be available for sale; Golden Poison Dart, Blue Poison Dart and the Albino. These were supposed to go up for sale last time but due to web site issues, I could not list them in time.
The webstore has some new programming and we are hoping that this is the final fix. The programmers made some adjustments to the real-time cart system and we’re hoping that this will allow the webstore to stay available. This is our last effort to fix this cart system. If the store crashes, I will be changing shopping carts or looking into a different option on how sales will work.
If the site crashes during this sale and is not up and running with a half hour of crashing. Please consider the sale closed. I will then list the coins unannounced - meaning after the website is back up and running, I will put the coins up for sale at a different date and time only known to me. I will then send out emails to everyone letting you know the coins are up for sale. This will allow the coins to be sold and it will not overload the system. After 24 hours, if there are still coins available, I will announce the sale on the Groundspeak Forums.
Time conversions:
Eastern: 6:30 pm US, Central 5:30 pm US, Pacific 3:30 pm US
World Conversions: Austrailia, Tasmania September 2rd, 8:30 am * Lisbon, Portugal September 1st, 11:30 pm * London, England September 1st, 11:30 pm * Zurich, Switzerland September 2nd, 12:30 am.
If you have any questions, please send me an email by some time tomorrow. I work during the day and on the day of the sale, I will not be able to answer your questions after I come home. This information will also be posted on my blog and on the Groundspeak Forums.
Thanks! tsun

Good luck this time, Tsun. No matter how the sale goes, we all appreciate the efforts you have put into making your store customer/coin addict friendly. Of course, the sale will go without a hitch this time!!
Well, maybe I will have good karma again for the sale, I has just finished reading your email and went to let my two dogs outside for the last time this evening when on my back porch was two little strangers…one a two pound sweetie, the other about 30 pounds…(not good with breeds) and my 18 pound yorkie chased and scaried the one off but not the little guy so…I got my flashlight and started walking…knocked on some houses aways from ours and knew they had dogs but unsure what kind…nope so the march went on…knocking at each house that had lights on…as I was at one doorway a car came down the road and she was looking for her baby…Yup I had him…so in between hugging her little sweetie and thanking me…she took him home…(her three year old daughter let them outside to play)….they had probable gone 1/2 or more miles….so I said a prayer walking home thanking God for letting them find me, and let me help find his home again…
I am really enamoured with the Bora Bora and Maui editions, and I am so happy to have secured one of each (and some for trades). This really is a fantastic coin design, and I think the store served all of us well this go-around. I hope you are happy with it, and that the number of disappointed Tsun-fans is minimal. Thanks for sharing your designs and for continuously setting the example for coin sellers everywhere…
Wow, I am so glad I was able to get some…..YES thanks so much for sharing your designs….I am amazed with people who can see those things…Just blows my mind with the details..colors…everything about it… I guess I don’t think with that side of my brain!!! But so glad you do…and share with us a little piece of yourself…Hope you can relax this evening…hug those puppies!!
