[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 24886113, member: 36248"]I always wondered about GC market share. Thank you for sharing this. I have preferred bidding on GC for a long time. Ian (head dog at GC) has personally answered several emails I have written. Its actually where I buy most of my coins now that I am back at adding to the collection. I would say GC has the personal touch, while giving me all the electronic means I need to filter, sort, and easily find the coins I want to bid on. I have used and like HA, but I dont tend to look there often anymore, maybe a few times a month. GC has better photos, site is easier to navigate, have less non-coin stuff to wander through, and there are a few intangibles that make we prefer them over HA. HA does have a more fine grained ability for honing in on a particular coin. (more filter criteria) But GC has added a few filter/search criteria over the years, and I would imagine they will continue to thoughtfully improve this without over-doing it. I have purchased a coin or two from Stacks, but I never really like them, and certainly they have had some very strange issues with there website over the years. I dont even bother looking there anymore. Nothing bad ever happened, they are just not my cup of tea. Glad to see Ian is doing so well! I would not have guessed they got that big that fast, but that's awesome. :woot: edit: Just realized that was an old link from a zombie thread :oops:, but still news to me, so I stand by my original post. I'm sure GC is doing even better in 2024! :cool:[/QUOTE]
