greysheet information

I just called about the 2 year works plan.
The question I had was the following:
If the 2 year weekly greysheet package online was $349.00
and the 2 year weekly blue sheet online was 178.00
and the 2 year greensheet was 145.00
Total $ 672.00
The works package all the above total $ 699.00
Why was the works package more for the same thing purchased by them selves?
So I called and asked why and was told that they NO longer offer that package that was sent out for those that need to renew?
Integrity?
Is that not important anymore?
Sorry for the rant but 29 years in the military I still have my Army values in place and proud of it!

Hi Pat, The Works package also includes the Goldsheet ($98) so the total would be $770 individually or a package price of $699.
We have cancelled our 2 year plan because we are (slowly) converting new subscribers to a monthly payment vs annual or two-year payment. The monthly payment concept is much better it's easier for us to manage subscriber rates and cash flows and monthly subscribers can now cancel any time. (i.e. no commitment)
As far as integrity is concerned, I'm not sure what is being questioned here. You can renew for a year at the same rate you were promised. We just don't want to go out two years. Feel free to PM or email me (john@greysheet.com) if you wish to discuss.
Finally, I want to add that one other reason we are not accepting 2 year subscriptions is because we are working on ways to lower the overall cost of a WORKS subscription so we don't want to collect funds that we don't require. Please stay tuned for future announcements in this regard. Hopefully in the next 60 days or so.
Thanks,
John

I just want to know why it took 43 whole minutes for the CEO of a company to respond to a blog post. Just kidding!
I was eating lunch or I might have been faster.

sounds Good!
As I retread this I take it that the 2 year plan will be back in about 60 days?
Not likely. Our accountant hates collecting money for 2 years in advance. But more importantly we have better concepts coming up and selling 2 years in advance limits innovation.

Well this has been interesting... nice to see such prompt - and informative - feedback. This is a great forum and the membership has such a range of professionals that clearly establish it as the finest numismatic social media available. Cheers, RickO
it was nice before you took over the graysheet. on line was not full of adds that we have to skip.
They gotta pay for buying it but I'm not inclined to help at the current pricing!
Hopefully a better deal for real full time dealers
I still can not find where the gold sheet was included. I must be missing something( old eyes).
Our advertisers will not allow us to publish PDF's without the ads. That's was not acceptable to them. I'm sorry for that inconvenience.

This I fully understand and others just need to print what pages they want or need.
I have NO problems with this
