If so, pls send a link to this thread to any concerned parties.
Or...dismiss it as a plain old disgruntlement.
BUT..... as I posted on CU, I have not been able to reach Gary Adkins site.
GREAT! I can't link my post from here!
Synopsis:
The Adkins site will come up "fine" on my cheapie Android tablet...BUT... it will also SHUT DOWN that tablet if I browse for any time.
I realize my problem with the Adkins site is due to MY COMPUTER as my provider is not at fault, but I am noticing more and more dealers switching to ever more complex site searches.
Legend has not yet screwed the ENTIRE pooch, but their inventory link sure won't let a customer browse EASILY and you BETTER MAKE DAMN SURE your mouse don't waver on the categories or you'll be directed to ANOTHER facet of the new, improved, fancy, state-of-the-art, whoopty doo portion of the site.
Pinnacle wrecked their site a few years ago. (unless of course you enjoy specifying metal content to find a list of coins for sale.
Heritage has been a problem to navigate forever, but they are WAY more unique in necessity than most retailers of coins. Soooo.... they get a pass. Reluctant, but still a pass.
Harlan Berk has succumbed in a SMALL way for the past year or so.
MY personal preference is a SIMPLE "INVENTORY" link that takes you to coins and pictures.
JJ Teaparty has a SIMPLE site.
Oh well. YOUR computer probably brings up Adkins just fine. Once you discover that "BUY" means "inventory" you can look at some coins.
Okay, end of gripe session.
If you agree with me, send this link to your favorite FANCY dealers and let them know that some of us old ginks with W7 computers may not be able to browse their wares.
Thanks.

I actually like how These guys do it with their site. I find myself going there multiple times per week since it is so easy to see newly added coins by a list and then easily get to the pics.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I avoid dealer sites that I find too simplistic or too much of a hassle to use.

I was thinking of them as one of my MODEL sites that is GOOD!
Remiss in omitting them.
YES NORTHEAST ALSO DOES A GOOD JOB!
YES! I love Northeast Numismatics website https://www.northeastcoin.com/ and frequent there often...and make a purchase every now and then too!
Since I am naming (positive) names, I love the website from (Gary Adkins Assoc.) http://www.coinbuys.com/ as well...and make an occasional purchase.
Make it easy to work with and people will use and tell others about it (this, and other threads)
...but I am just a small fish in a big pond of collectors.
