The RAM Shop

The $1 and $2 baggies are still unavailable.
I imagine that when these finally become available our back orders for these should be dispatched.
Pretty shabby really as I ordered mine as soon as they were listed back on 5/9/16 :dodgy:

The letter that came with my Parra coins, There was an interesting paragraph in it that read;

First and foremost, we would like to apologise for the delay with your order. This extended delivery period is out of the ordinary for us. These issues are currently being addressed to ensure that it does not reoccur in the future

So I did some searching on eBay for the Pre order listings from the usual suspects and "voila" they are No longer there :good:
One seller even replied to a Neutral feed back by saying "Complain to Royal Australian Mint not honoring orders & supplying Woollies only"
So it looks like RAM is doing something about these "Drop sellers" at last

Either the RAM or Federal and local police forces.

I spoke with a Armagaurd/Security delivery team earlier this week re the Olympic Games and Paralympic game coins and they informed that both local and federal police are doing something about it.

They informed me that the police had already secur3ed records from various security HQ's for further investigation.

The above was told toe with little prompting and NO, the conversation was not recorded.

They informed me that the police had already secur3ed records from various security HQ's for further investigation.

Which is what Ross told me just after the first sack turned up on eBay.

Note that these investigations are to do with the sacks and boxes which were listed before they were released through the stores. Which is a clear breach, and possibly a crime. The culprits had to be Armaguard or Woolworths employees, and they were the only ones with access at that point.

Good work :good:

[runway]

No criminal charges will be laid against Armaguard or Woolworths ... move along nothing to see here

I received my last baggie of $2 coins today.
Also enclosed was  a couple of free gifts for taking so long.
I received a magnifying glass and a Kokoda 25c coins on a
card. Like the newspaper release earlier in the year.

The $1 and $2 baggies are now available at RAM eShop

I haven't heard anything about the changeover baggie sets that I ordered early in the piece yet.
I won't  be home for a week or ten days and I was kind of hoping that I could pick them up when I get home.
That isn't looking too promising at the moment

Ron Black just delivered my box of Paralympics. They came in a plastic bag of 50, without a box, and he didn't get any 'apologies' trinkets either.

Interestingly, he says others have reported that this batch is MUCH higher quality, with one guy sending quite a few off for slabbing. I haven't looked yet, and intend doing something about PP bags for them before I open the bag, because of the half-moon plastic capsule that doesn't protect the coin.

Also, I had asked about the cards that Cotton cracked the coins for his rolls out of (which, incredibly, are just about sold out). No dice.. apparently Cotton is selling them, at quite a hefty price. Now, call me suspicious, but I can think of only one reason to pay for an empty card. I'd be REAL careful about buying any Olympic carded coins on eBay. :dodgy:

I recon Cotton would sell his Grandmother if the price was right.

[Unicorn]

If she was in good nick then he'd be able to describe her as "Fine Cotton".

[gnome]

Fine Cotton, always horsing around Uni, good one

[Unicorn]

Yes G, I thought I'd take a bit of a punt on that one.

[gnome]

Hay, this is getting off track, might have to rein it in a bit.
