I would also point out to this sentence: "This April's new members added 136,000 coins into their collections, including one enterprising user who logged over 65,000 coins."
I guess Numista should become more user friendly also to enterprises with cataloguing their coins. One way of doing this would also be possibility to sell stuff over Numista (e.g. select the coin, quality, mintage, etc..., select the enterprise, set post expenses & voila, Numista also gets some percentage to stay alive), but I leave that to the admin to decide. Most of these would probably go Premium, since then they could upload pictures of coins they sell. I know for the fact, that here in Slovenia there are some small vendors who sell coins, but supposedly have little time to take pictures and set them up on their pages for sell. As long as this approach does not interfere with our hobby and how we perceive current usage of Numista, I am OK with it.
There were also posts over regular users wanting to sell coins on Numista.
