I don't do much with these guys, but curious why their site would be under construction in the middle of the day. Are they doing a reboot with a new website , been hacked, or?

Could be as simple as adding new web pages or redesigning existing pages, upgrading software or adding new features, or server upgrade for better speed and/or capacity. Should all be good stuff.
I quit facebook a long time ago; what are the cliff notes?
Per Instagram 5 hours ago:
"Our website will be down all day today. This is so that we can test internally and set up the new and improved website. We know this is not ideal, but we are working hard to get going as soon as possible. In the meantime, feel free to contact us!"
Such a suspicious bunch here!

LOL. That link goes to a construction company with the same name not the coin and auction company.

I emailed them earlier and and Matthew Kavalek replied, "...we're migrating all our data and processes to our new website. We expect to be up and running tomorrow, though, with a brand-new updated website. I invite you to check it out in the near future and let me know what you think, thank you!"
They've always been real responsive and friendly, and their website is among the better ones I surf. Big images, helpful metadata (like their star rating and degree of toning metric). The one thing I asked for a few years ago was, ability to save my own notes to self about individual coins. Maybe I'll get my wish!

yeah, But it makes life so interesting anyhoo!
We have to be suspicious. Look at the environment we collectors have to live in (not to mention the other crazy things going on around us).

They've been posting on IG for at least a week that they have a new site coming.
When WOULD you want to upgrade? On the weekend when people have to come in? Or prime shift when everyone is available if there are issues? It's not like they're going to stop everything if the site is down a half a day.

Just a discussion; I don't see any complaints from me or anyone else. Just enjoying being suspicious.
Well... I will take the time later today to visit the site.... Comments to follow. Cheers, RickO
Still "Under Construction" this morning.

Looks like it's back now.
very exciting, interesting to see what's new
Up now. There's a nice little improvement I noticed. Used to be when you set filters for looking at inventory, one of the choices was for "Grading Service", The choices were "PCGS/NGC/CAC" and one or two others. If you chose "CAC", you got both PCGS and NGC coins in the results. If you chose "PCGS", you got both stickered and unstickered coins in the results. Now there's a Grading service choice, and in another filter choice called "CAC". The choices are YES and NO. So, now you can set the filters to show only PCGS CAC coins.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me....
Very nice upgrade! Big improvement.

Be aware that as an existing member, you have a small hoop to jump through.
You have to "register" and they match the account details and send you a password (re)set email before you can use the site. It's not a big deal, but the email may land in your spam folder!
Under the covers and in some places right out in your face it looks like they've moved to a hosted site and some of the URLs are not davidlawrence.com anymore. I had to update my password vault to allow both.

Funny/strange........ today I received an Email from DRLC that said they are up and running again.........
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
"The new and improved www.davidlawrence.com is launched and ready!" - can't get any clearer than that EH?
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Ah, I was bummed... the "My DLRC" section is gone, and the "Watch" function has been removed. I emailed them with my sad story. I was hoping that they'd add "Notes to self" on a per-coin basis to the "watch" function but that didn't happen.

I just went to my account and yes I had to sign in and get a conformation email
I guess they didn't know if everything was going to be done so there is no Sunday night auction this week
Site looks good as far as I went, we'll see

Subtitled: How to get publicity without really trying.
I signed in to the DLRC site. Although a record of all my purchases are found under legacy, the pictures of the coins that I purchased are no longer there.
This is almost as epic as my Walmart turning people away at the door a few weeks ago because of a system failure at point of sale. They were temporarily unable to take card or cash from customers for merchandise, in other words. It seems Walmart got rid of their old-fashioned, not-computer-dependent cash registers long ago. I was shocked and aghast at this development but was hungry for food so went to another store for my groceries on that historic day.

Got a chance to sit down and visit with the guys there at Central States- really good to meet them especially my friend John Call.
Charmy took some images in her show report.
This David Lawrence is in England.
If they were aiming for publicity, they should have changed the temporary home page to a large blinking CAC sticker while the site was under construction. 😈
