The Numisaddict!
Before I begin, I would like to state that this is not an attempt at a shameless plug to advertise my own site or interests. It is a call to action for anyone and everyone who (like me) wishes that all their daily coin activities could be consolidated into a single location and managed with a single user account.
For the past month I have been building a new community for coin enthusiasts where all your activities are integrated into a single location utilizing a single user account. The forum is the hub of the community. You register a user account with the forum system which becomes your single account to manage all your Numisaddict site activities.
Along with the forum I have built a coin trend price guide which is updated daily from ended eBay auction data. The goal of the price guide is to provide the user (either buyer or seller) with a trend price for a coin based on actual sales data. The price guide can be manipulated in many ways. You can view a list of every coin sold sorted in any order you like. You can choose to view it by coin type category which is also sortable in any order you like. Rows of data can be highlighted for quick reference. And finally you can get a quote on a coin based on a specific type, year, mint, grade, variety, attribution, grading service and more. The resulting page from your quote lists your min, avg, and max prices for the data you requested as well as a list of all coins used to calculate your quote.
Besides the forum and trend price guides I have also been building a coin auction system. This is where you come in. Several of you are already active users and I thank you for your interest and participation. However, the time has come to broaden the scope of our testing to include as many interested parties as possible. The purpose of this post is to bring awareness to the rest of the coin loving world about whats been going on in our little corner of the web. To get to the point, I need your input! I need you to head over, sign up for an account and lend a hand in beta testing the auction system. During this beta testing period any bids you place, auctions you list or other auction related activity will not be legitimate. As stated on the auction pages, these are only psuedo auctions while we workout any bugs and introduce missing/requested features.
I urge everyone to give the auction system (as well as the rest of the site) a good once over. Place a bid on an auction, does the system work as you would expect it to? Is the format user friendly? Are there any usability issues you think I should address? List an auction, or several auctions. Is the auction listing interface easy to use and navigate? Does the system react like you would expect? These are just a few examples of things to look for. Feel free to offer whatever feedback you desire, constructive or otherwise.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Also, once you do register, you will need to confirm your registration via the email you were sent before you can participate. Email confirmation in this type of venue is extremely important as I am sure most of you will agree.

I haven't had much feedback so far regarding the auction system. Has anyone tried it out and have feedback they would like to share? The sooner we get it debugged and feature rich the sooner I can open it up to the public for production use.

No Canadian where? In the current auctions? In the sell item auction system? Category specific forum venue? Throw me a bone here.
