CDN experience?

coinguy96

I've been going back and forth on signing up for CDN and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the platform. I've looked online but can't find any real time video of what the website offers exactly. Has the monthly subscription been worth the value the platform provides?

Even the collector subscription for 9.99/mo is extremely helpful just with the use of the CDN app. I find that app to be the most useful tool for pricing a coin. I don't have experience with the dealer subscription.

Are you talking about the exchange or greysheet itself?

Should've been more specific. I was referring to the exchange.

Depends on how much you buy. I belonged for a while but I didn't buy enough to make it worth the cost.

Yeah I don't know it I'm "Ready to swim with the big fish" quite yet. But would like to be there in the next few years.

If I may ask...how much does it cost?

$150 per month, if I'm not mistaken.

When I retire from my day job, I may dive in because then I can do more on the coin front. But to make it worth the $150, I figure I have to buy an average of at least $1500 per month to be even remotely worth it. [If you're expecting 50% of retail, you don't understand the coin market.] On the other hand, if you've never been part of a "dealer network", you could consider it "tuition".

I like keeping Opex / fixed overhead costs low. The coin biz is tough - brutal competition, then people who are broke or won’t pay the money.

I use the CDN coin and currency CPG Market Value (retail) online app (based on CDN bid) plus get the world banknote book. Simply refer to it from my phone. It includes both CAC and non CAC values. Got special ages ago / $7.99 a month. For auction bidding or offers my table at shows just offer a pct of MV / Sell based on market conditions. Consistent, inexpensive, and easy. Can execute the deal quickly. Then just lay out the green. Everybody’s happy.

It’s been several years since I was on there, but I also found it hard to justify the costs. There was a lot offered for sale through the message system and emails, but I didn’t do enough business to make it worthwhile. Hopefully some day

@coinguy96 Great suggestion regarding the tutorial video. In the meantime, we are happy to offer you a free 30-day trial to allow you to kick the tires and see what this great platform has to offer. CDN Exchange is only for dealers so it's not for everyone, so any application (even a trial) is based on qualifying as a dealer (web site, eBay listings, show setups, PNG membership, etc). If you're interested send an email to Amanda (ablattel@greysheet.com) and she'll answer any questions you have. Thanks! John
