Having to Log In to a Dealer's Website to View Inventory--So Old School!

Went to a dealer's website, viewed the inventory, but when I clicked on the "see photo" button the site asked for a login and password.

Give me a break! Let me see the coin--if I am interested we can connect! Don't make me give you all my information up front.

I dont have time for that! (However, I do have time to post about it here! image )

What drives YOU nuts about coin dealer websites? And what are the best things about navigating a dealer site?

    If a website is like that I just leave and never come back.

    My favorite feature on any dealer site is the ability to isolate/locate their newps. If I am a frequent browser, the last thing I want to do is scour through the whole inventory every time I check the site.

    The other thing that makes a difference for me......regular updates. Nothing worse than looking at inventory on a site that hasn't been updated in weeks. I generally skip those dealers. I spend my time on sites with daily or at least bi-weekly updates so that I know the inventory is accurate.

    Just my 2 cents....

    That's not so much old-school as it is somebody who's not trying hard enough to be user-friendly.
