The collector is free to negotiate prices with them once he finds a dealer. But first the collector has to like the coin?
But at least it is a potential clearing house for dealers to list their coins.
Also looking for VF-EF Seated halves.
Sell me your old auction catalogs...

I surf CU a lot... as I can view more new dealer listings in one single place then surfing each individual dealer site.

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

Coins seem high to me and the pictures are not very good quality. First time I have looked at it too!

This is where I'll come when I win the big LOTTO! $450K for a coin? I think not. The rich keep getting richer, eh? This is just evidence.

Not true at all. There were sufficient number of coins listed for under $800.
It was a HUGE time saver for me. I was able to zip back and forth to check out the specific coins at the dealer tables that were shown in the Collectors Corner.
In fact, I was able to procure a 1/2 cent in PCGS MS-65BN from Albanese (of NY) as this collectors corner helped me focus on who had what coins more quickly.

Not very original, actually. vcoins.com has been around for years.

I know all about vcoins.com. They missed the key component of making it easy for collectors and that was organizing the inventory of coins into series such as flying eagle cents, indian head cent uncirculated, indian head cent proofs, lincoln cents uncirculated, proofs, etc.
Without having these categories, I am using the search engine to pick a category and not saving it for dates, PCGS vs NGC, mintmarks, etc. In other words, the search engine is "saved" to do my dirty work only when needed rather than having to use it ALL THE TIME.
So PCGS vastly improved upon the vcoins.com concept.
Anyway, I wasn't trying to compare both sites, I was merely pointing out that the concept of a "virtual bourse" (many dealers on one Web site) is not a new one, even for vcoins.

Of course, any log of tabular data is useless if it is not maintained regularly. I've been trying to use Collector's Corner for quite some time and have seen nothing to prove that anyone really keeps up with the entries.
*if it's up to someone who got layed off, that's the way it goes, take down the site.
If the site requires constant input from dealers, FORGET about it! In the past 4 weeks I've requested pictures from three different dealers, who say to send them email if you need a pic. I have NOT heard back from any of these dealers. ALL of them have been mentioned favorably on this board, too. Oh well, I guess they're off whining about their lack of business to someone who will listen.
reality = the way we've done it for years!
I especially like the interface with the PCGS registry showing the coins available to fill slots when building a set. Now if I could only afford there offering more often, like someone already mentioned that Lottery win will make it all good.

I was directed to two coins on David Hall's website from the Collector's Corner website, I get there and only one of them is in his inventory. I had seen that one for a while, but based on what Collector's Corner was telling me, I damn near was whipped into a Longacre-like frenzied froth when I saw that second one which was supposedly there.
A prospective buyer is left wondering just who is responsible for updating this info.
