How often are you offered coins as a direct result of having posted your Registry Set?

Is it mostly dealers that are working this game, or is there a lot of action between collectors?

    Quite often (1-2 times a week), and I'm a collector, not dealer. The offers come from a combination of collectors and dealers, but primarily fellow collectors.

    Well, now when you download a set for "edit" you will get available coins as upgrades or still missing from your sets listed to the left from approved PCGS Dealers who advertised on this forum..Anyone else notice this lately?

    If you do not want offers you can keep the set private (hidden from public view).
    I have got some upgrades for different sets in the past. Mostly from fellow collectors very seldem have dealers made contact. But they have posted links to the items on eBay of items i needed.
    Also wanted listings on this forum and the BST forum helped me build some of my sets over the years.
    Edit to comment on Watersports post. Seems like every time I check out one of those links to Collectors Corner. The item is no longer available. Have just about given up using that feature.

    I did not notice information about available coins or upgrades. I will check it out.

    To answer MrEureka, I received frequent inquiries about buying Proof Jefferson Nickels when I had a set listed in the NGC registry. In contrast I've received few similar offers to improve my PCGS sets.

    Frequently (nearly weeky).

    I get infrequent offers, usually from collectors retiring their set.....and more time than not too pricey for me. image

    I don't get a whole lot of E-mails but I do get quite a few PM's. Allot are offering a coin I need at a price that is right but most are from members trying to sell a coin at twice or more what I would pay. I don't mind as I have got a few this way if the price is right.

    Very rarely; maybe once a year.

    I'm more often contacted to see if I'm willing to sell something.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I have had a few collectors contact me just because I listed a top pop in a new registry set. Not all were MPLs.

    After having sets listed for over 6 years in the Registry and contact info. available, the following occured:

    Offers from dealers to sell me Lincolns = about 6
    Offers from dealers to sell me type coins = about 1
    Offers from collectors to sell me Lincolns = about 3
    Offers from collectors to sell me type coins = about 0

    Offers from dealers to buy my Lincolns = about 3
    Offers from dealers to buy my type coins = about 1
    Offers from collectors to buy my Lincolns = about 8 including 10 or more coins per contact
    Offers from collectors to buy my type coins = about 2

    I have made unsolicited offers to sell coins to Registry Set members about 4 times

    I am a collector. I am not a dealer.

    It never happened to me, although I would love someone to offer me a 1809 capped bust dime in a PCGS holder. It seems to be impossible to locate this coin. Fred

    I only have one set still listed on the Registry. When I had several listed there I am not sure that I ever received an offer on coins.

    I guess I just collect the wrong sets. image

    I have received one offer from a collector that was retiring his set and I bought the offered coin.

    Never, but that's because my contact info isn't available to anyone viewing my sets.

    Over the years, I have received a few offers to sell me coins that were improvements to my Lincoln Memorial set. I also should mention that other than adding the current years coins each year, the only improvements to the set over the last three years have come through offers in this way. When it comes to the very low POP coins, I don't mind folks contacting me, as I might not get the opportunity to see or buy the coin otherwise. Of course, you have to be careful, as some offers can be rather high priced when the person offering the coin can see that you have low POP coins, and they have one you need the one they have.

    Almost never. More frequently, people have asked if they could buy coins from me.

    It happens, the higher you are up the ladder the more offers you seem to get. As for myself, I like the fact someone is helping me find what I need. image

    To address the OP; never.
    I'm two years into a Lincoln circ. Registry Set and I'm in "improve" mode at 33%.
    I'm in the process of replacing coins I settled for as I started collecting.
    I'm thinking I might need help finding just he right RBs and BNs in the older Lincolns in a few years once I've added the keys.
    For now I have a dealer helping me slowly upgrade. TGF the BST. image

    It happens more often that people contact me because they want to buy some of the coins they see listed in my sets !!

    It happens quite often and I enjoy it. I like it when a fellow collector is willing to help me upgrade a coin in one of my sets.

    Can't recall one offer - it's been rather disappointing in that regard.

    It would be nice if someone would but, so far, the answer is never.

    Seldom.

    Since I have my email address posted with my registry sets, dealers will put me on their mailing lists.

    LindeDad,

    I am looking into the reported item in relation to Collectors Corner. I would be interested to know which is happening in relation to the linkage from the Registry
    to Collectors Corner listings. Is the problem, that the dealers are saying that they no longer have the listed item, or is it in relation to following the given link
    from your registry to Collectors Corner listing. Does the link come up bad? Or is it that the dealer tells you that the item is no longer available.
    Either one I will get to the bottom of this and help get it corrected. Many of the larger participating dealers on Collectors Corner update rather often.

    I appreciate you bring this to my attention, We want to make Collectors Corner a goto site for collectors and dealers.
