<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1087758, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;ve never found NumisMaster.com something I needed to pay for... </p><p><br /></p><p>NumisMaster.com already allows anyone to create an online account to do many things on the site without paying any fee. Does paying NumisMaster.com $79.95 let alone this discounted rate, get you anything more than what you can currently see online for free? </p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of certified coin market values, how is the NumisMaster.com price guide any better than <a href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml" rel="nofollow">NumisMedia FMV</a> and the new <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NGCCoinPriceGuide.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NGCCoinPriceGuide.asp" rel="nofollow">NGC price guide</a>, which are both free? Heritage Auctions accounts are free and you have free access to the <a href="http://coins.ha.com/ref/price-guide.zx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/ref/price-guide.zx" rel="nofollow">Heritage Value Index</a>, which is essentially the NumisMedia FMV through an HA portal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, registering an customer account at Krause Publications to shop their retail web site is free and allows you to subscribe to an e-newsletter (free) with all the same advanced promos and weekly updates linking to articles their writers post on NumisMaster, again, for free. Besides a wimpy 10% discount (I believe orders over $49 ship for free) all you are paying for in this offer is to receive their printed materials. Is that worth what they are asking?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean to rain on anyone&#039;s parade and would love to hear how paid membership benefits those who do subscribe. These are just my observations and the questions I would ask before paying for this membership. For me, they offer too much for free already, so much so that it doesn&#039;t warrant the expense for most readers/collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
