Excellent Lunty! Will watch out for PMs and the fancy dress code for the day (do you know in Melbourne they have to wear name badges ...) ...
Brisbane stacker don't wear name tags, we wear Hawaiian shirts and caps. MAGNUM STYLE (just joking!!! We could do name tags, if people are ok with that?)
14 days to go. The venue is booked and locked in and things are looking good guys. 2pm Saturday 18th Feb, $10 a head. Will be a cracka!!!! Still need to know if you are keen so I can send details the day before the meet by PM if you have not done so already. Look out for the Auction and Sales thead coming soon. If you want something auctioned it may cost you one beer for hiho, who is running the auction. (still working that out). Trust me the more he drinks the better he is at selling stuff. PS start thinking about what you would like to sell and buy, (the metal and sparks are going the fly at this meet ) Look forward to seeing old faces and meeting new ones soon. Names tags? Y/N Cheers Lunty
If someone can organise name tags ( even the most basic paper ones ) for everyone ( list to be left here on SS in this thread ) than i will give that person a Swedish 1 Krona 1898 Silver coin see photos of similar coin on eBay [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/531_krona1.jpg][/imgz] [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/531_krona2.jpg][/imgz] http://www.ebay.com/itm/SWEDEN-1-KR...ltDomain_0&hash=item519cffd04b#ht_4046wt_1304
Sweet ! This way it will help everyone in the long run - and after this meet everyone should be able to match the face with the SS username.

( mintage on 5 Balboa surprisingly small - but currently not an extremely sought after coin ! ) So if you are coming to the meet on the 18th and you have 3 50 Cent pieces and want to do a straight swap than buzz here, alternatively if no one buzzes, than these 2 coins will be sold in an auction here on ss before the 18th and i will buy the 3 50 Cent pieces of someone at the meet.
7 days to go folks Hope you all have your keen shoes on :lol: So far on the list is: Myself, Thucydides79, Ag-ness, Dabloodymess, Macros-the-black, Bigone, Nedsnotdead, XB, Silverant, Rabortrader, Undftd, Hiho, Locksmithhuk, Aleks, Skipau, Kram, Boyou, Billyo and VRS. If your name is not on the list and you would like to come along let me know. Great way to meet like minded people and learn more. If you have any ideas to make the meet the best yet, PM me. I'm working on name tags and Hiho is keen to run the auction. Also to make this meet interesting and informative, I was thinking that if you had anything you would like to talk about, show or share, that we could do small show and tells. I have asked VRS to give a talk about a few apps that will help you a hell of a lot and put you ahead when you buy metal. (Its pretty cool stuff) I thought I could show you how I clean my play silver and talk about my RSC investment. So if you think that you have something to share to help Brissy Stackers feel free to drop me a PM and I can work out a program and time table for the event. An auction and sales thead for the meet will soon be available to put your things that you want to sell or auction in the sell and trade thead area. Look forward to seeing you all soon. Lunty
