Anybody else find Larry Shapiro's website very awkward to navigate?

Or is it just me? (lsrarecoins.com)

    It seems a bit disorganized, but I expect that it is a relatively new platform which is a work in progress.
    What did you find to be very awkward ?

    Actually removed the site from my favorites. Not worth the trouble.

    I have no trouble navigating his site (it is relatively new) but I don't like his offerings. The reason being is that he rarely has any early Walkers. Most of his Walkers are in the 1934-1947 range and they are almost all MS 67s and 68s. That is beyond my optimal grade range. I will not pay many $1000s of dollars for a common coin graded in the 'ga-ga' range, when I can have one that's nearly as nice (and sometimes better) for a few hundred bucks. But that's just me....

    Larry has been one of my "go-to" guys for quite a while. The biggest issue with the website is probably that his inventory has expanded tremendously over the past couple of years. I can't think of any website that handles almost 1000 coins perfectly. The cleanest, most intuitive sites are usually those of dealers with small inventories.

    It took me a while to figure out, but Larry's site is pretty easy IF you ignore the Navigation bar and stick to the menus on the left side of the screen (on a PC). Almost every other dealer has the navigation bar set up so that if you hover over "INVENTORY" it gives you the option of choosing gold, silver, nickel, copper, If you hover over nickel, it would give you Shield, Liberty, Buffalo, Jefferson, etc. Pinnacle's site does this.

    On Larry's site, it's usually better to use the "Categories" and "Sub Category" options on the left side.

    I find the website very difficult. It is not intuitive in design. I do like his coins.
