Has anybody tried the new Teletrade site Launched this past long beach I just recently bought some world coins off their site. It was really simple to use and navigate. http://teletrade.com/ BIGGGG UPGRADE from their last site!!!!!!!!!!
On teletrade, when a coin gets bid up but then after the auction it says "Was not sold", does that mean there was a reserve that wasn't met? I thought the new site would make that more clear, but I saw that after last night's auction with no mention of a reserve.

I made my first 3 purchases from Teletrade all in the month of January and paid shipping on every one... But I do like the new site, very nice updates.
Wow, this is really a good thing. I had stopped visiting the Teletrade site until the end of the auction because I was tired of the hidden reserve. If the coins are started early in the day at a resonable price, then I can once again shop earlier in the day when it is convenient for me.
Isn't it a great improvement? I have been so impressed by the new site, I feel like a kid in a candy shop. It's a wonderful life, even though there are a few like old Mr. Potter who had hardly a kind word for anyone. We are expecting to do a lot more bidding in 2012.
My biggest complaint has been the inability to select my own user name on the website. Just went to the new improved site, clicked on "forgot my logon information" and was directed to a page saying the site was missing a security certificate and that I shouldn't proceed. Apparently they haven't worked all the bugs out yet. The top of their page seems kind of questionable too: TELETRADE AUCTIONS TELETRADEDIRECT The online coin and currency auction authority since 1986. Since 1986? Really?? Pretty sure that was before Al Gore invented the internet.
What does Teletrade auctions in 1986 have to do with the Internet??? People used TELE phone bidding from a catalog in those days.
