It looks like there is now a collectables sub under "goods"
Surprised. Wasn't it going to be a Physical coins/precious metals sub? Collectables seems a bit vague. Maybe calling it Physical Coins and Precious Metals might be better.

Thank you for the new subforum "Goods > Collectibles"
Much appreciated
Much appreciated
Great news !!!!
Really great idea. I guess it covers more then coins this way. But love having a collectible area.
I had to go read meta after looking at goods thread that is a lot of moved collectibles.

Nice work Theymos and crew...much needed and appreciated!

I much prefer the physical crypto, but anything is better than nothing.
+1 to "Physical Crypto". Covers everything in the spectrum from printed to pressed, laser carved or hand etched. I have to agree with this...I work with paper , wood and metals....
Great idea. The threads that actually contain solid info (like Chainsaw's sale thread) are invisible to new users.
I'd hate to see a "Precious Metals" board with Casascius etc lumped in with them, because it'd get taken over by run-of-the-mill bullion stackers.
One subforum with maybe a couple useful sticky threads (moderated ones, even) at the top should be more than enough.

That sounds like a reasonable name. Anyway, I support this request.
I am already starting to regret selling it...

How about something like "crypto coin collectibles"? That might include things like the orange BTC

Haven't really thought about it much, and not sure it's needed, but a more general PM (precious metals) board would make more sense, and would likely gain more support. Lot of overlap there.
I'm not sure I like the Precious Metals idea as much as Physical Cryptos / Coins. Sure, most coins are made of precious metals, but many aren't, including the latest Genesis Coin. I'd hate to exclude that one. It's fun.

To second that, not all cryptos are coins...they can be bars, cards, paper wallets, etc.. made of various materials
I second this thought as well, though I would be happy to see a PM forum, I would be happier to see a physical crypto section. I have a wallet made from wood by the people who made WoodWallets and I consider that to be a physical crypto item.

I voted no...physical coins are stupid.
Just kidding!
I think maybe just a sub section under market place named "physical cryptos" or something like that. The physical market is pretty big and has a lot of very involved traders/enthusiasts.
While we are at it...how about a domains section also?
Marketplace -> Goods ->
-digital goods
-computer hardware
-physical cryptos
-domains

Yes!!! Marketplace -> Goods -> Physical Cryptos / Coins (I'm not sure the word "Cryptos" is clear enough for newbies.)

I would even volunteer to help moderate such a sub since I am fairly active. Not sure what qualification is required, but I am somewhat knowledgeable about this subject.
A sub like that probably wouldn't require its own mod as it would likely require very little moderation inside it but there would be posts that needed to be moved there from elsewhere in the marketplace. And if people want to become mods report a lot of posts and you might get asked eventually.

I'm a little unsure whether it could be considered a conflict of interest that you yourself are frequently selling / buying coins.Then again, I'd trust you, so that's probably a good idea.
Well I would much rather be trading them than moderating them then
