Importance of Posting new purchases

Gazes

I wonder how many dealers think about posting new purchases as quickly as possible. Most collectors have a certain coin budget. My hunch is many collectors will save money for a purchase right after a major show like FUN. I would think that dealers who post their new purchases quickly have a major advantage. That being said, I don't see a big rush to post new purchases by most dealers.

The 8% ebay bucks right after the show this year might help some who post their inventory there.

I look at the new inventory sections after big shows so I agree.

I used to put my Bust purchases in layaway when I purchased from Dick Osburn. Easy monthly payments so I could buy a little better, loved it.🙂

I agree. I love seeing NEWPS soon after a show.
I would think many of the best new purchases are earmarked for a specific client.

Good idea. Already in practice with dealers who are smart and like major advantages.
I'd guess their sales would confirm.

Good sales strategy would dictate getting material displayed to the customer base as soon as feasible. Letting it sit in darkness will only send customers to other sites. Cheers, RickO

I have seen the few dealers whose inventory I monitor online do both. One coin I saw in an auction late last year (around October I think) finally appeared on their site last week. I knew who the buyer was from their bidding activity, as there aren't any collectors who would have bought what they did.
