+Shop99er Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Is it just me, or are the two coin listing site that I know about pretty much dying? geocoincollection and cointracking both have fewer people listed than they used to, and don't seem to be getting the new coin info that they used to. If that's the case, is there anything out there that seems to be replacing them? Quote Link to comment
+River Cacher Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I agree there seems little activity oin the sites. I wonder where everyone has ran off to or are they just all slowing down on sharing there wonderful collections. Quote Link to comment
+LionsLair Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I could be wrong, ...it's happened once before, but I was under the impression that geocoincollection was going to relaunch in May. I know they pro-rated my membership up until then. When I tried to renew it in Dec I had to jump through a couple hoops in order to do so... I do see more of a problem of updating new coins to the existing site, but I think that has more to do with the different variety and number of coins being minted today. keeping up with all the new coins must be like containing the oil slick in the gulf. I have a stack of coins here on my desk that I'm constantly waiting on the site to update in the system before the coins find safety in my binders... I guess only time will tell about a relaunch of the site though... Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 What? I hope not! I have all my coins listed on one of them. How else do coiners keep their coins organized for trade? Quote Link to comment
+TeamEccs21 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Geocoincollection wouldn't let me renew because the new site was almost ready to launch....been over six months Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I've changed my coins to an access database. Now I just need to find a way to add it to the web. Quote Link to comment

Same response I received over 6 months ago. That's what drove me to start this topic. I got the same mail last week. After 6 months + of waiting for the new site to launch, many people left. I remember when there were nearly 200 on the site. Last night, there were 30 or so. I'm wondering if they haven't shot themselves in the foot. Quote Link to comment

Since very few people seem to trade anymore and coin vendors coming out with sales that are either way too limited or way too many then there is never a need to trade... for the first category I don' t bother, for the second I can get them anytime... Therefore, the need to have a trading list is minimalized. Quote Link to comment
RedShoesGirl Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) .. I have a stack of coins here on my desk that I'm constantly waiting on the site to update in the system before the coins find safety in my binders... I guess only time will tell about a relaunch of the site though... do you photograph your coins and submit them to the sites? the sites depends on coin owners contributing pics. if i get a coin that is not on either site, i photograph it or scan it and put it on cointracking myself, or upload it to gecoincollection's forum - their process for adding coins. when geocoincollection.com started having some issues, i listed my coins on cointracking. hopefully that site will stick around for a while. i don't have very many coins any longer so it is pretty easy to keep track of them, but i imagine those folks with a gazillion coins might be a little bit upset if those sites go down. rsg Edited May 1, 2010 by RedShoesGirl Quote Link to comment
Odyssey Voyager Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 ...i imagine those folks with a gazillion coins might be a little bit upset if those sites go down... well, i didn't have a gazillion coins, but there was a website where i had complete descriptions with tons of detailed information of all my geocoins along with many pictures. i would link to that site whenever i had auctions for the coins, too. i had most of the written information backed up just in case, but when the site vanished, i was stuck with backed up code i really couldn't use. then i was asked to upload pictures and information at "geocoincollection", but i don't want the same thing to happen. so, for now i have a modest list at "cointracking", but i don't put too much effort into the list for the same reasons. i can't rely on a website or the people that are supposed to keep it up, maintained, and running securely. its a shame, but this may be why geocoin trading is almost a thing of the past.
