Coin Website : Any Feedback?

GregTheGreat

I recently finished a website advertising the coins I have for sale.... I was wondering what everyone thought of it. I am open to criticism; actually I love it. Please give me your feedback.

Well, I found this section of your website interesting:

"The only reason I don't go scanning everything is because a lot of times people make me get all of these scans and pictures and then never make a purchase due to "lack of funds". I am sick of deadbeat bidders and sick of deadbeat buyers. I only want serious people to look at my coins. I have already sold many items and everyone has been happy..."

I think writing this is a fantastic way to get people to buy coins from someone else.

And, as a general rule of business, I think you want to insult your customers AFTER they have sent you money, not before.

Nice easy to navigate site. Your only problem is the prices, they're very high for very common coins.

I am just making it clear that I don't want dead beats buying my stuff.... I may choose to re word this section very soon.

Thanks for the input...

Here are my comments, mainly about the layout of the site:

1. I like the color scheme
2. I prefer web sites to have a consistent menu/navigation theme. On the home page you have some links in a menu bar on the left ("Update Bar"), but the main links are on the bottom, which requires scrolling. If you have a menu bar on the left, I would prefer all the links to additional pages in there.
3. I would consider keeping this left menu bar on all pages. I don't like having to go "Home" back to your main page after every sub-page.
4. Maybe separate your denomination pages by type. E.g. Nickles - separate headers for Buffalo and Jefferson types
5. Show some pictures of coins on the home page - attention getter.
