What happened to the site Ferret Lord? Your fees are much more reasonable than ebay. If I had a camera I would list some of the extras I would like to sell, but I hate to list without pics.

The site is working fine. I haven't had any trouble lately. What happened? Did it not work for you? Try the link in my signature. Please list even if you don't have a pic. Just write a good complete description and someone might still be interested. I try to be reasonable about my fees. ebay is way out of line and I was just told tonight the are increasing the store fees again. In response I eliminated all mine. Stores are totally free to have now. Regular listing fees still apply. I also dropped the end of auction fees for items selling under $7.00 USD to $0.00. This way if you have a coin sell at $5.00 it only costs you the $0.10 listing fee.

Now is the time to request all of you wonderful people who signed up to my site to put listings up. I have placed ads out and they will be in the general public hands very shortly. Ad is already active at Numismatic News. If people see coins, they will sign up also. I am one step away from liquidating my collection to make this work. I am hoping I dont have to do that. If each person put a few coin on there we would be able to get those browsers to sign up and would be one step closer to getting some powersellers from ebay. They say "If you build it, they will come." I hope they will. Signing up would be even better. :)

Oh, I hope you don't do that. Susan and Bobby haven't suggested that they are adding an auction site to the CC family, so I would like to see us adopt yours. There is so much frustration with ebay out there, maybe the CC will migrate over. I've never sold anything on an auction site, but I'll give it a go. I'll offer 71 and 72 blue envelope Ikes this weekend after I snap some pictures.

Thank you very much Mick. I see you signed up on the site. Best of luck with those Ikes. They are usually a popular item.

Ok, FerretLord. I put up a few things that I have been wanting to sell but didn't want to do it on eSlay. I really do hope your site takes off and that the people who show up to sell are honest (as much as possible).
I will give your site an honest shot.

Steve, The more I use your website and the more coins I put up for sale the more I like it. I am amazed that more people aren't using it. It is so easy to list items. It takes virtually no time at all. The interface is nice and clean and user friendly. Some of the other startups listed on here are difficult to use and their interfaces are jumbled and scrunched and I just do not like them. You have really come up with an excellent website and it would be nice if more people would start selling and buying there. This is a super alternative to ebay. Actually, the alternative should be ebay and your site should be the main source for selling and buying coins. I do not know Steve. I do not have a vested interest in the website. I do have items for sale over there but am not associated with steve or his website in any other way. I just know a good thing when I see it.

Just to let you know, The ad I placed HAS increased the hits to the site and it is not even out in the main publication yet. The hits to the site jumped from 150-300 per day to 500 2 days ago and 1600 yesterday. The ad is formally out in the Aug 15th issue, so I am hoping the response will be favorable.
A good portion of the hits are producing page views and that is something I can totally put on you people.
If I had coins to sell, they would be there. The ones that are listed now are helping more than I can say.
Thank you for the compliments on the site. I wanted it to be easy to use. There were a few bugs to work out at the start, as Susan and Bobby well know, but I feel they are overcome and the site is ready to take on the numismatic world.
As always, Thanks to everyone here for your support.
Steve

Okay, I am asking for everyone to take those duplicates out of their collections. Go to Coins N Currency and list them for all the world to see and hopefully buy. Remember, I you don't list it, it wont sell. If you dont sell it, you can't get the next coin in your set.

We here at Coins N Currency have decided to eliminate ALL basic listing fees for your auctions. Yes, that means in doesn't cost you anything to list your items. This way you can get more return on your sales. Thank You The Management

Hello Everyone,
We are currently doing some upgrades to the website. These upgrades will be a great improvement. They will be effecting the stores and item listing procedures as well as other areas.
Thank you in advance for your patience.
The site should be fully up and running by late this afternoon to this evening.(I hope)
Thanks, Steve
