+++After two Saturdays of playing catch-up with my
collection, after NYINC and other shows, I send a shout-out to
Forum and Joe:
1. Professionalism. Two or three recent orders ( I
had a lot of catch-up) were shipped immediately and packed pristinely. As always.
2. Pristine? Yes, I usually have to re-cover or wrap books and catalogs, but
Forum uses
library quality wrap and better-than-I-can neatness.
3. Coins are accurately described --I usually copy and paste Forum's notes into my database.
4.
Flips -
Forum sends coins in
flips that I have never
had to swap out. I have to do that routinely for much larger
auction houses using poly-razzamatazz
flips.
5. Technology:
Forum not only supports this Board, but is near the top of technical presentation. I recently dealt with a really nice dealer, but so low tech we might have well used post cards.Also dealt with a big
auction house with a phone app that nearly almost worked but not quite. My only tech issue with
Forum is that you can't display your password. I doubt Putin is phishing me. So far.
6. Customer support - you don't get an acknowledgement, you get an answer.
7. This
discussion board -- have not found its equal.
So, in this increasingly slab-happy, app-happy, high fee hobby, I am glad
Forum found and provides a balance point.
