I'm new here and would like to know how you find coin collectors to swap wish and do you swap a lot internationally.
I am asking since I have just opened to the public website for coin collectors a that allows personal collection management and easy matching for swaps and want to have more information so I can improve it.

Thanks image

    Where are you?

    Boom keeps sheets on all swappers, and sets pairings for the swaps. I don't know about international shipping, tax problems, and such.

    (Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?

    Hi

    Most of the coin swaps are done for holiday's so the next one will be either thanksgiving or christmas.

    Always good to have another collector for the swaps.....

    I see that you are from Israel ... What types of coins do you collect?

    BTW I would be willing to be your swap partner in the next one (but that's up to BOOM)

    You can send a pm (private message to boom and talk to him about it)

    this is the type of info to give BOOM for the trades

    So you have one person (BOOM) that takes the information from everyone and arranges the swaps for them?

    The reason I was asking is that I have just opened to the public a website for coin collectors that allows personal collection management and easy matching for swaps. On my site everyone can join and mark coins from the catalog (currently has ~12,000 coins but more soon) that they have or that they want and the site lets you match your lists with those of another collector. I'm constantly trying to improve my website and so gather information about what collectors do and think of how it could be easier for them.

    The coins section of my site, called Colnect, was opened just a few days ago and so I'm more knowledgeable in how collectors swap with other collectibles. I would appreciate more feedbacks.

    Thanks

    You can also offer or seek specific individual (or groups of) coins for trade/swap on the BST boards.
