Hi, I'm a new user and I had a question. While I'm guessing I'll have to contact customer service about this as well, I didn't think it was a bad thing to try. What I was wondering is that when I see at a certain coin that someone has it in their search list in a certain condition (such as 'Very Fine', 'Proof' or 'Good'), you can also view the coin in this specific condition. will have to offer to ensure that they are informed about your offer. For example, I have a coin that is actually close to FDC/UNC, but someone is looking for it in the condition 'Very Fine'. Now I'm fine with the person buying my coin when I can get a desired price for it, but I'm not sure if I should also offer it with the condition 'Very Nice' (instead of 'Beautiful' or 'FDC /UNC'), to ensure that they are also informed about my offer. Couldn't find this anywhere, either.

If anyone can help me, thanks!

Welcome to LD. And immediately a nicely completed profile: congratulations.

There is no need to make fun of the condition for the sake of signals (mails) or searching the LD marketplace.

Rene wrote on April 12 ll:
No, you will only receive a notification (by mail or by choosing "match with search list") if the condition offered is equal or better to the condition in which you are looking for it . If you want to see all the conditions in which the items you are looking for are offered for sale, you can check "for sale" in your search list. That works regardless of the condition you are looking for.

You can of course assign a lesser condition to your merchandise, but then this can be disadvantageous for the attraction and for the asking price.

Whoever is looking for the item in the condition FDC/UNC tomorrow, and you offer it as 'Very Nice', will not go wild with it.
Anyone who is satisfied with the condition 'Very Fine' will not accept an offer 'Very Fine' where the price asked is higher than what is usually asked for that condition.

And then the remark: even if 5 users 'search' for the item (that coin), that is still no guarantee that someone will actually buy if an offer appears in a shop.
There are also users who are no longer active on LD in the meantime. Sometimes temporarily I know a lot about the circumstances. Sometimes definitively because, for example, the temporary was exchanged for the eternal ...
There are also users (searchers) who wait until a shop has some references. The first steps are the hardest.

It's like Raoul62 says. All searchers receive a message if the searched item is offered in the condition indicated by the searcher or a better condition (unless the searcher has deliberately switched off these alerts).

Hello Raoul62 and Rene, yes, sure (as far as profile is concerned), I often came across this site when looking for coins etc, and seemed like a good site to use for sales as well .

The 'List of searches' function also seems very useful to me, because this way you have the chance that your offer may be directly linked to someone's wish to buy a coin. Although I understand that purchase is of course no guarantee.

But very useful to know! Then I think I can (and will) just offer the coin in the condition 'Beautiful' or maybe FDC/UNC, and assume that the person who has it in his/her search list will be informed about my offer, if that one with as condition 'Very nice' was looking for, and so I do not have to choose a lesser condition if I have understood you correctly.

I understand / find logical that first (good) references, etc. are useful to have / get, but there is indeed no other option than to wait and see as a new user.

I thought I had read somewhere that a viewfinder could turn off 'Alerts', but it wasn't entirely clear to me how the system itself worked.

Anyway, thanks for your help and quick response!

If you offer an item for sale, always indicate the correct condition in which the item is.
Also read the Frequently Asked Questions (under the ? in the top right corner of the black bar), specifically the Selling section.

FrieseMunter I see that you have the "Kroningstientje" double in your shop, but that is not the intention?!
And your other offers are individual advertisements. Are those coins not in the catalog?

Hello stripspeldjes Comic Pins, no, at least, I had put one on it as a separate advertisement but also saw that someone was looking for it in the condition 'Very nice', and didn't know exactly how it worked with the Search List, and when it was also offered in the 'Very nice' condition via the Catalog (because I thought it could possibly be linked to the 'Finder'). What I think is a pity that it does not seem possible to add your own photos when you offer something via the Catalogue. This is because I really like the photos myself to give the (potential) buyer an idea of the condition, and I now have to offer it either via the Catalog without my own photos, where if someone has it on his/her wish list about this (possibly) informed, or separately, with pictures, which is my preference, but then there is no possibility (as far as I know) that someone who has it on his/her wish list will be informed about it. Anyway, I will indeed remove one of the two advertisements, also because I now have more clarity about how the search list works.

Hi Collectioneur, thanks for the info! That is indeed my intention, but how the search list worked was not entirely clear to me.

Just to update, although I don't know if anyone will see this yet, I found out that you can also add your own photos by listing in the catalog (see below).. That saves a nice option! Thanks again for your quick response.
