Hello,
Below a proposal to improve Numista which was already discussed in the past but without exact idea to implement.
currently we have the possibility to link values from own collections or also from Ebay.
I would like to add the possibility to link auction result sales from professional auction house.
A Dropdown list of auction houses would have to be created. (Users, Referees etc. should be able to add Auction Houses to the list. Only auction houses with sale numbers added to their sales can be added).
Users who want to add a value from an auction house's sale select an auction house from the dropdown list.
In a field called "Auction sales number" (If someone wants to select for example Nomos auction sale number 16, simply 16 has to be added in the field).
A second field where users can include written information should be called "Lot number" (Example write 76 when selecting this piece here: )
https://www.sixbid.com/de/nomos-ag/4746/greek-coins/3905367/macedon-roman-protectorate-republican?term&orderCol=lot_number&orderDirection=asc&priceFrom&displayMode=large&auctionSessions=4846%7C140032&sidebarIsSticky=false
There would be a need for a feature that adding the same value twice should be made not possible if the added infomation of (Auction house / Sales number / Lot number) is the same.
Values should unlike the values added by numista members or via ebay link should be displayed directly. (Too many rare coins where there will not be 3 examples per grade).
Values added should be from the auctions sale price, not taking into account the additional auction house's fees.
Grade can be taken from the auction link or if not mentioned in the auctions description can be decided by numista users.
What do you guys think about this?
To my feeling this would really complete our values displayed on the Numista site. I also believe that this is something that our system should be able to implement here on Numista without too many difficulties (Altough I have to say, I do not know anything about programming).
Cheers,
Paul
