Suggestion to include the items values given by Numista in the swaps

Hello,

this is something I have posted here some other times in the past and always had a lot of votes to be implemented but, for some reasons, it never got the reply or comment from any of the managers or owner of this wonderful website. And I would like to know why: maybe they think this is something not important, it is useless, or it´s something important but not able to be implemented because of costs, time or whatever.. I don´t know, but any response would be welcome and understood, as there must be a reason for not applying what I am going to suggest here, and I consider there is no problem for explaining the reason why this suggestion hasn´t been considered.

I have been a bit disconnected from Numista in the last year, but now I received a pair of petitions of swap and I am back again, and I see the same problem when trying to make a swap. In order to be honest and fair with the swap, I always use the values given by Numista or any other websites to give a value to my items and the other´s ones. When you have a swap of 5 or 7 coins, it is not a big deal, but when u have a swap of maybe 40, 50 or 60 coins per person, then u find a big problem and the only way is to create an excel file and go item by item getting the value of each one and adding it to your excel file. That can take hours and something which must be considered a hobby and something where u can have fun with, turns to be something not fun at all.

So, my suggestion is: Numista has (given by them or its users, I don´t care) values for all or most of the items it has here. I´m sure adding those values has taken a huge time, so.. why not making use of it ? why not making use of what Numista already has, when the purpose of those values is to be used in a swap? Why not adding those values in a column next to each item in the swap panel? or adding them in a column when u create an excel file from the swap panel? Would it be possible? does it take a lot of investment? money? time? I don´t know.. and I would like to know. Because if I receive a reply, then at least I won´t make this suggestion anymore ;)

Well, that´s it. I leave this here, hoping to get a feedback or response from Numista this time.

My best hug ;)

I will wait for a reply… ;)

There has been one downvote, it would be good that the person who votes down, could say what´s the reason he or she has, so that I could understand why this suggestion might have a downvote.

Well, someday it will appear, haha lol.

Nice day!  ;)

Hello,

The values shown on Numista pages are calculated automatically based on data from user collections and auction sales archives. They may contain errors. I don't recommend relying only on them for buying, selling and exchanging coins. Instead, I encourage to seek multiple sources of values before exchanging.

Even if I agree that having the values on the swap page would be convenient, it would go against my message to seek multiple sources of values before exchanging.

Oh… ! 

Finally an answer! I am so happy! haha..  😃😄  and the answer is from Xavier! haha..  Thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it a lot, really ;)

Ok, I understand your point, and in some way I had the intuition that maybe this could be the reason. But.. I invite to maybe give it a second thought or chance to this suggestion or situation, regarding these issues:

1. All this could be perfectly fixed just by adding that comment you just wrote, beside the values or just in a note at the bottom of the page (the values shown here are based on… ). That would even give more credibility to those values because now many people don´t know now where they come from.
2.  In some way, now the situation is the same regarding the values. What someone can understand by your reply, is that Numista has values for all the items (collected from users…)  it has, but doesn´t dare to put them on the swap panel, as they are “subjective” values and not objective ones. Well, it´s comprehensible, but isn´t that what is already happening? Now Numista shows those values on the items files, saying clearly that they are based on the users exchanges and some other values.. Well, so it´s the same and no one has expressed any inconvenient with it. The only difference would be to put them in the swap panel, that´s all. But that´s where it makes sense for them to be! ;)
3. I understand the humility when giving those values and that´s a good point, you don´t want to say “this is the value this coin has and that´s it”. Ok, but we all know that and, I have to say, Numista values, at least on coins, are not so bad. And, anyway, even if those values are higher or lower than the ones shown in other platforms, it´s fair as both users included in the swap are using them as a mean to make the swap equivalent for both parts. 

Well, that´s my point. And, anyway, the users can modify the value for any coin included in the swap, they don´t have to follow the values given by Numista, it can be shown ar just a guide or help. Said this, I think it would be a good help to include those values, at least in the exported excel file, to make the swap easier and fair.

Maybe you don´t see it now but if you give it one or two thoughts slowly, maybe in the future you will see it can be a good new resource of Numista.

Thank you, Xavier, and I send u my best hug!

Congratulations and thank you for thi wonderful website ;)

This is just a reminder about including the values of the coins in the swaps.
I totally understand that it may contain errors, but it could be optional for users who would like to use this potential tool.
If Numista adds a disclaimer under that option, nobody could complain about using it

Thank you, Gazir, for your appreciation.

I really think this is what is really missing in this website and there might not be a single person who has done a swap here, who hasn´t missed that, I am sure. I don´t know what is making Numista holding back from doing it. As soon as Numista doesn´t sell or buy, and we all know that, we all know the prices given here are just estimations. But the thing is that Numista already has those estimations for each item, then which is the point in adding them in the swap panel? I guess it must be a problem with the resources or something, because otherwise this is hard for me to understand.

Best regards and have a nice day!  ;)
