Needs your opinion, Please.......

I finally get around getting my website together and I am asking your honest opinion. Here it is. http://www.bill-jetblack.com/

Easy to use website, the only thing I didn't like was the lack of prices on the coins for sale in the Inventory for Sale section.

I like it a lot, Bill...very attractive and easy to move around, for now.

Caught myself thinking that photo on the front page must be you, but then I realized it's paper money.

One thing to consider as your inventory expands...or perhaps I should say if it expands.
Rather than make the potential customer scroll down that long, long page and look at everything
you've got, why not outlink from your main inventory page to sub-pages by denomination ,, or by
some other logical sort? Then each page is shorter and more quickly and easily negotiated.

Great look and feel, overall! Did you do it yourself?

P.S. I guess the Bimmer's no secret, huh?

I have added the prices and still in the process of rebuilding it for better and easier to browse. I was originally doing it that way but I thought it will be waste of page if I don't have anything to sell. Taking in consideration for all who commented, please review it again and tell me if this is any better. I used the 1/2 centavo for the model.

Don't I wish!

The home page looks great, but when I went to have a look at one of the links, I think it was personal collection, I was asked to "sign in". That's when I'm done looking. Just one of my personal annoyances, when I'm browsing a website, simply to see interesting things or to see what's out there for sale and I have to sign in or create an account, that's when I go to another website. It's kind of like Radio Shack asking what my phone number is when I just want to buy some batteries.

Otherwise, the part I saw looked good.

Just my 2 cents.

I concur with having to sign in to a website to browse. What does it REALLY gain you by requiring it and perhaps lose you in the long run. I can sign in as Micky Mouse and what does that gain you, just a pet peeve as well.

Now I am going to pick on your home page but first it is fantastic looking. You need to proof read the info you present and make sure it is correct for instance

<< by all major third grading >>

Don't you mean three

<< I have been collecting of US-Philippine >>

Don't you mean COLLECTOR

<< permits. >>

perhaps permit????

<< I have limited >>

insert and a between have/limit

<< interested of browsing >>

take out of and insert IN.

Make your written info as PERFECT as your homepage is. FANTASTIC is all I can say!

<< I concur with having to sign in to a website to browse. >>

You got that right! It's a HUGE turnoff.

<< by all major third grading >>

<< Don't you mean three >>

Actually I think you mean "third party".

My guess is that English is not your first language, so perhaps you should get a native English speaking friend to review your text for fine tuning the language. I always ask the Beautiful Bride to review anything I write in Japanese for grammar and word selection.

I am still in the process of putting it together thats why i had set up that way. This will be fixed soon.

The grammar will also be fixed with everyone's input.

You are absolutely correct and I'm glad that you guys are correcting it. This is the great place to ask everyone's input to make it look better. Any additional comments whether it is positive or negative will be appreciated.

JaPa · October 20, 2009 2:20AM

We all have kind of picked on you but make no mistake your site is awesome. A bit of jealousy here.

IloiloKano · October 20, 2009 1:29PM

My intitial impression is "great"! Of course, I am a fellow US-PI collector, so I could be biased. In any case, I have bookmarked it for the time when my finances are more liquid.

goossen · October 20, 2009 10:45PM

Very nice looking website. But you really should avoid the "members only" areas, because many people wouldn't like to register just to browse around.

jetblack740il · October 21, 2009 12:55AM

I could not decide which format to use for my personal collection page, so I added 3 to choose from below with the link. Your opinion is really appreciated.
1/2 Centavo
1 Centavo
1 Peso

SaorAlba · October 21, 2009 2:47AM

Wowza - this is a nice coin:

I would go with the "1 Peso" one.

IloiloKano · October 24, 2009 2:27AM

I also would go with the Peso representation.

On a side note, I bet only collectors of this series will recognize the 1912s in that condition is harder to find than the 1904(p), even though the 1904 is so close to pristine and only had a mintage of 10,000 coins, versus the 1912s mintage of 680,000. Not that I can afford it right now, but how much are you asking?

These coins belong to my personal collection and I am just using it for the format comparison.

zeebob · October 27, 2009 6:50AM

Hey, I found a coin like you have on your site. My photography sucks compared to yours, but the coin design is cool!

USAROK · October 27, 2009 8:04AM

I'd go with the 1 Centavo format for your personal collection and the 1 Peso format for your inventory.

rainbowcoins · October 30, 2009 4:47AM

It is a very nice site indeed. But the main banner of the bridge in the night city light kinda takes away of what the site is about. Maybe use a banner more about coins and paper money is my opinion.

ormandh · October 30, 2009 5:48AM

LOL! By the time you make the changes everyone wants it will not be your own! -Dan

Needs your opinion, Please.......
