We lost a medallion today. We have boxes of them, so it wasn’t a surprise, as you always feel like you’re on the edge of disaster.
I looked for it twice, handling every plastic-cased medal we had in the shop.
Nothing.
Rather than writing to the customer to confess I’d lost it, I decided that I’d have another look through, and double check every medallion. I found it after twenty minutes. It was in a plastic case with a blue insert. I was looking for a red insert, which is what the computer told me I was looking for.
In the end the only discrepency I found between the eBay shop and reality, was one medallion. I solved that when I moved a notebook and found the missing medallion had slipped underneath.
It also gave me chance to sort out some new ones. We keep finding more…
Well done for finding the coin eventually. What dogged determination you display at times!
I’m paid by the hour and I have nothing better to do… 🙂

The lost was found! Yay! Sure do like the one at the top of the page.
Yes, it’s a bit better than some of the others. 🙂
Are there any at all with good portraits?
Always pays to check and recheck, lost stuff usually turns up!
Yes, a careful recheck, after the initial hectic search, usually brings a result.
You deserve a medal for all that searching.
On the other hand, I should have known it was in a blue insert. 🙁
So, someone bought a medallion on ebay and when you went to ship it it wasn’t there? Oh, man – I would be a nervous wreck. I HATE losing things. Glad you found it!
We have over 1,000 items in the eBay shop so a little drama is unavoidable. Luckily we keep it to a minimum. 🙂
But you did find it!
Eventually. 🙂
