Collecting inevitably involves the transfer of mineral-related goods and services. During the initial Covid era, this market grew exponentially into online spaces with lots of content in many different places. Traditional Search engines are not capturing those options for the buyer. This also limits product exposure for dealers.

Subsequently, a better search mechanism for online mineral sales is still somewhat elusive.

We are trying to do better...

The future content of this page will discuss the current physical and virtual options for acquiring minerals. It will also serve as a pointer to get you to those options without having to search more than necessary while still enjoying "The Chase".

Many dealers have expressed dissatisfaction with current web advertising opportunities (most notably overpopulated web pages or cost vs. return ratios).  Some have very successful sites built on years of name recognition - others struggle to get started. Problems can be related to poor market exposure, technical abilities, time commitments, and a shift to physical shipping and various non-cash transactions. 

We recognize these frustrations and are actively collaborating with our dealer population to create better exposure to all levels of dealers and create new pathways to feed the collector pool. This will involve some simpler short-term solutions as well as more unique concepts.

This will not be a quick fix and no one embraces a long list of random dealers that all proclaim to be your one-stop place for fine minerals. We all deserve a better platform.

More to come,
