New Pricing Pages on Greysheet.com for subscriber feedback

JohnFJohnF Posts: 390 ✭✭✭✭✭

FYI, this is not a sales attempt. This message intended for existing subscribers, but I really would like your feedback!

I'm really excited to announce (soft launch) new pricing pages on our web site as of noon today. I've been wanting to upgrade these for years now, and it's just so much more work than we expected. But we have a good team in place, and making changes much faster. Would love your feedback. (The pages are better now, even for non-subscribers). Thank you in advance.

John

Here's a few sample pages:

    Feedback specific to the web version of the site and not the app: the pricing table should be higher above the fold given that this is the primary use case for any pricing page.

    I would imagine this section could take precedence over the obverse / reverse description section and the catalog information section. This is more vital, in my opinion, on the mobile version vs. the desktop version, but important for both nonetheless. It doesn't look like any pricing pages on the app have changed, where pricing is currently front and center visible above the fold.

    Hope this is valuable for you and the team @JohnF! Thanks for rolling out more and more changes and asking us for feedback. Your stewardship has been fantastic.

    I'm not clear how, on a computer, having to flip through 6 pages on the 1795 5c to see all the grades as opposed to the previous all on 1 page is an upgrade or an improvement.

    Agree with winlosewin on the visibility of the grades. I will note that if I select the 'card view' at the top of the grades that it then allows me to scroll (left to right) through the grades. Therefore, for the 'table view" if all of the grades are not to be shown at one time, then make it so that one can scroll (top to bottom) similar to the 'card view' through all of the grades. Another option would be to have a button at the bottom of the grades to 'show all'.

    @JohnF
    All feedback based on PC website.
    1. I agree with the others. When I'm using the website, 99% of the time all I want to see is the pricing grid. I'm not looking for an education. It should be the most prominent thing in the result and "above the fold." The description and image gallery are not going to be things I look at much.
    2. The pricing grid either needs to default to more than 10 records or be settable via preference, but if you look at lower F/VF prices it sucks to scroll through 4 pages. I do see the filters on the left help with that though, I guess I just have to use them more, but showing 20 rows would be helpful.
    3. I do like the price by grade and price history graphs though, but for the price history chart maybe don't default to the highest grade. If you can somehow determine the grade that is the hockey stick inflection point, that would be the most useful default price history graph to show.
    4. I don't know that the "Related Items" are ever going to be useful for me. I can't see how it would be useful for anyone really and you have a lot of content at the bottom already.

    You didn't ask for it, but searching is a pain.
    1. For example, enter "7590" or "7272" in the search bar (without hitting enter), and the search result below it that I want comes up straight away: "1901 $1 MS" (great!). I click on that expecting it to take me to prices for 1901 Morgan Dollars, but instead it takes me to another search page where I now have to locate the coin I just selected which is toward the end on the second row of results (the first row shows 1901 Indian Cents for some reason). It's very inefficient and frustrating to have to search for coins twice.
    2. Then when looking at auction results, if I click on a CAC price I expect to get CAC-only results and vice versa, but instead they are combined. Would be nice to have a filter or setting for that and further, would be nice to further filter by TPG.

    Wishlist items & Suggestions:
    1. I don't know a good way to do this, but for example, the 1901 Morgan Dollar VAM 3 and the 1901 DDR Morgan Dollar are the same coin but have two different records, probably because they have separate coin IDs. It would be nice to have a way to indicate that the records are linked (I assume they are), and be assured that pricing info and auction results are shared, as I hope they are.
    2. It might be nice to have a button somewhere to report an error or report a sale (if that's data you want from users) and that report tells you what page/coin we're reporting on.
    3. The ultimate enhancement - if you can find a way to elegantly present it - would be to show pop reports by TPG.

    Caveats: I use the CDN Exchange layout for pricing now, not Greysheet, so I don't know which features are new and which are "old", since it's been a few years for me (any links to examples of the old format?). I only use desktop for pricing, not mobile/app.

    1. I agree with everyone else, the values need to absolutely be above the fold. Having the catalog info available is nice, but I'm using Greysheet/CDN for values, not to be told over and over again who the designer of the Morgan Dollar is (no disrespect to George T. Morgan).
    2. The Value By Grade chart is really slick and very helpful in determining the grade-value relationship with one quick glance. I like it. I notice it seems to be only for Greysheet wholesale values. Having the ability to view other charts (such as CAC prices, PCGS wholesale, NGC wholesale, etc), perhaps via dropdown-menu, would be nice. Also, having the ability to display multiple lines on the same chart at the same time (such as both CAC & non-CAC, or both PCGS & NGC wholesale), perhaps via checkboxes, would be great.
    3. The Coin Value History chart is also slick and very useful. Similar to the other chart, I hope some more customization appears down the line. It only shows Greysheet Price, but being able to see PCGS & NGC wholesale prices over time would be good. Also useful would be the ability to adjust the time scale somehow instead of only showing All Time. I agree that defaulting to the highest grade is not useful, but not sure what a more elegant solution is.
    4. I agree with @ProofCollection , if I type in a coin ID# in the search bar, and then click on the specific coin from the drop down menu, I should be taken to that specific coin listing. This is something that changed with Greysheet a few years ago, and why I switched to using the CDN format, since it works as expected. If I'm looking up dozens or 100s of prices a day, every click matters. It saves the user time and frustration, and saves Greysheet on bandwidth.
    5. The "copy" button next to the GSID in the catalog info is nice, but it should also be next to the GSID AND the PCGS# as they appear later next to the values.
    6. I don't see a "request review" button like there is on CDN.

    My real question is...which of these features, if any, will be coming to the CDN layout? I realize I can click on the GSID button to take me to the specific Greysheet listing page, and honestly, that can work just fine. My biggest request, at this moment, is to have a "copy" button next to the PCGS# on CDN. It would be very useful for checking out prices on GC :)

    Thanks John, always appreciate how Greysheet/CDN listens to feedback and is consistently working on improvements.

    This is GREAT feedback. I will take these suggestions to the dev team in a few days. I agree with everything I see, so will try to fix what I can. John
