I know many great collections/collectors have no email address visable because they dont like to receive offers....but really if you think about it arent you hurting yourself...what about the dealer who happens to see a hole in your set and want to email you because he has a really nice coin that is a good fit? just my 3c worth...if Im missing something please let me know Jon

  • I turned mine off because I was getting spammed too much. PMs work fine.

    I have mine off to prevent spam. But nothing in my set is so rare or extra special that it cannot be obtained on the open market.

    Mine has always been on, but what about the John Butler spams that a lot of board members recently received?? I do not know what the phoney John Butler had in mind, but the "real" John Butler came on today claiming he did not send the spam to Registry members, which I believe, because of the apparent difference in grammar and spelling.

    Some of us just view contacts like that as spam. I really like the fact that we are given the opportunity to show our email addresses or not, as we please.

  • For every coin someone misses you will always find two or three more in the future that are as good or better, the only exception would be a high dollar rarity and I doubt if anyone with that type of money would buy from an email solicitation on a message board.
