Why should you become a dealer on Numishow?
I can sum it up in one word: Money.
We love coins and currency. We love collecting it, and we love selling it. We are, after all, in the money business to make money. Numishow lets you keep more of it than any other online option. Here's how.
Auction sites charge for everything; listing your item, adding anhancements like photos, and worst of all, they take a cut from every single item you sell. What was your auction fee bill for last month? Now compare that to the monthly booth cost on Numishow. What will your auction fee bill be next month? You don't know, but you do know what your cost is with Numishow. Numishow's 'Show-Model' pricing structure beats every auction site out there, period. You can even get discounts on booth costs by signing up for longer terms.
Have your own site? Do you spend time administrating it instead of actually conducting business? It takes time and effort to run a web site (oh, how I know that!), and you still must fight to get potential customers to come and browse. The 'big auction sites' have the advantage of being a central location for potential customers to go, just like Numishow. On those other sites, however, you can't put a link to your own site, but with Numishow, you can if you wish. I have no fear that you will find Numishow compelling and profitable enough to stay around for a very long time.
Live shows are great. I love to meet people, interact with collectors, and take in the atmosphere. Numishow is not made to replace these shows, but act as an extension of them. What did you pay for space at your past show? My research shows costs from $80-$250 and more for one table at a typical 3 day weekend show. Out of those 72 hours you paid for, the public only has access to the bourse for about 19 hours. That means only about 25% of the time, and 75% wasted. Numishow gives you the same opportunity to sell 24/7 for one month at a cost less than a live show. In addition, you have no travel expenses.
Do the math, and you'll see clearly why Numishow is right for you. When you choose to become a dealer, make sure to bring your good stuff, because I have a few holes in my collection I need to fill!
UPDATE: Feb 11, 2013
I have added Paypal as a payment method because many buyers were asking for it. I'm not sure this is the best thing for hte site, and I'll explain why. The transaction fee sems to be around 9.5%, almost 5 times the 2% for using the First Data gateway. The only thing it does for us is not make the buyer have to type in their name, address and data. I don't feel the extra cost to dealers is worth that. I'll leave it for now, but its life expectancy is short.
