Specifically: "Bold Title" or "Highlight Listing" via search results, or "Featured Homepage Presence"
If you did promote, did you find it helpful? TIA for your feedback

Yes I have, little to no difference. Then again it may the coins I submitted. Varities are not for everybody. 🙄

It’s probably a waste of money. If your selling nice stuff the coins should speak for themselves. But of course it’s impossible to answer your question. @ianrussell might know if he tracks the number of views that two similar coins have, one with promotions and the other without, and he has a large enough sample size.
I have used the Bold Title, it helps some , the Feature $10 Option is a lot better. Puts it on the first page.
The best option, and is only reserved for highlights, although Ian does do a good job at mixing up the type of coins and items he shows in this, Is Front Page Banner. If you have something that really wants to get some attention, you might discuss this option with him on a case by case basis.
I have not but I have thought about it.

Yes, I have used it on many coins. Did it help? They all sold at a good price, so you tell me...........

We can’t tell you, based just on that, as we don’t know what prices they would have sold at, otherwise.

No. Would it help? I don’t know but I have been very satisfied with the net on my sales.

I can't answer your question but I can say this:
I have noticed it but don't pay attention to it and would never consider bidding on something because of it.

That's my point, don't know if it helped or not. Just saying I was happy with the prices I got, and if it was because of the promote options!

But maybe you (or others) noticed a coin that you wouldn't have noticed otherwise and considered placing a bid.
Not to be overly snarky but:
That is what I was saying that I don't pay attention to them because of the highlights. I don't know what others do so yes it might work for them. I search for specific coins sometimes that I am on the hunt for and other times just cruise the listings narrowing it by price or other (there are just to many for me).
I just went to GC website and I see a 'sort' for HotLIst and it says something about the active lots using a computerized system or something. So I could see some using that sort (I didn't know it existed until just now). I don't see any sorts for the other highlighted lots. Maybe I missed it but if not perhaps GC should add one and might get some activity there. But I don't use them, others might.

I did a few when I first started selling coins on GC, it didn't seem to help much. I was selling pretty basic stuff though. I think if you had something flashy that could catch the eye of a buyer that wouldn't normally look for a coin like that, it would help. I always look for DMPL Morgans, and flashy toned Morgans highlighted at the top always catch my attention.
