I can't speak for dealers but as a collector I actually like the PCGS Collectors Corner. it has listings for thousands of coins and gives me access to probably hundreds of dealers. it's a snap to go from the corner to the dealer website.
Most dealers of any consequence have their own web site. If not, they're leaving serious money on the table. For an occasional seller such as myself it's either eBay or GC depending on several factors. Heritage for my occasional big ticket sales.
I’m not a dealer, but a collector. In searching for coins I need, I first look at auctions such as Heritage, GC, DLRC, and Legend.
I also look regularly at collectorscorner.com for the very reasons stated above by @keets . Using their filters, within seconds you can drill down to the specific coins in your search. While he said “thousands”, it’s actually tens of thousands of coins to search from. For those of us that prefer purchasing coins with CAC’s, you can limit your searches by writing that in their “Search” area. If I were a dealer, I’d definitely pay the fee to have my inventory included on that site. For dealers reading this, if you want me to find your coins that I need, that’s where you should go!
My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

Great Collections is really rocking.
Less hassle than eBay...prices realized very strong.
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.
Visit the Society of US Pattern Collectors at USPatterns.com.
Most younger people would ask, What's that? I like GC the best!
@MrEureka....I thought all those phones were in museums...
Not really, but sure have not seen one in many years.
I agree with @keets about collectors corner.... plus the BST right here....At this point, I do believe the internet is THE venue for sales.... maybe later in the year as shops open and shows resume, it will level out. Cheers, RickO
Most younger people would ask, What's that?
if it weren't for movies and such I would agree, but pretty much everyone has seen one, but..........................to know how to USE a rotary phone is another proposition entirely!!! somebody posted a short video clip a few months ago and it took a teenager about five minutes to finally complete the call.
this thread has made me think of the legalistic term "Queen for a day" that pops up sometimes.
Hmmm, Will an old rotary phone still work in this modern digital age?
It's nice that all the non-dealers answered this thread. LOL
My favorite online selling venue is eBay by far.
Ebay is the biggest and BEST coin store on earth.
I have a business website that I direct every one of my eBay customers to.
I use Instagram and that platform works fantastic. I can't post this week as my daughter told me of a weeklong strike on Instagram in honor of the movement of a better USA.
Online is strong for sure and getting much stronger quickly.
I am all in on Online.
I have my own website for higher end coins, I use eBay for Buy It Now and occasional auctions and GC occasionally.
At my daughter urging, I am thinking about posting this on Instagram today in response to CEO Zuckerberg allowing hate speech ....

Wow just WOW!
Let's get away from politics for awhile. Okay?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
How is standing up against hate speech political?
It is the right thing to do.
Silence is harmful.
In the US the answer is maybe. There’s no requirement to continue supporting them but some landline carriers continue to support them. Of course if you end up with a voicemail or navigation option you’re out of luck.

Standing up for or against anything is "political". Do what you want on your own forum, there's no reason for it here. We've had enough bans for one week.
Half the people think the crap you spew is hateful! We do not come to a coin site to tell you about it. In fact we mostly ignore it but you won't let up. It is constant with you.
THIS IS A COIN SITE! PEOPLE COME HERE TO GET AWAY FROM POLITICS AND TALK ABOUT COINS. SILENCE ABOUT POLITICS ON A COIN SITE IS NOT HARMFUL. IT IS THE RULES! YOU BREAK THEM CONSTANTLY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. HOW THICK IS YOUR SKULL. TALK ABOUT COINS! TALK ABOUT COINS! TALK ABOUT COINS!
LET ME SAY IT AGAIN THIS IS A COIN SITE. HEY DUDE DID YOU HEAR ME THIS IS A COIN SITE!
MODERATORS AM I WRONG? IS THIS A COIN SITE. MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK SO. YOU CLAIM IT IS IN YOUR RULES.
