If you’re looking to create a quick, eye-catching special offer that draws buyers or sellers to your business, you’ve come to the right place. Every company in our directory—big or small—gets one chance each week to showcase a standout deal. Best of all, it’s free advertising!

What is the One-Shot Deal?

  • Your “One Shot” to Shine
    Think of this like a Black Friday doorbuster every week. You only have 50 characters to grab attention and stand out in the crowd.
  • Where It Appears
    Your deal will be featured on the One-Shot Deal list, which is shared via email newsletter on Fridays and displayed prominently on our website.
  • Optional Link
    • If you include a link, visitors who click on your offer will go directly to the URL you provide.
    • If you don’t include a link, the deal will default to your Coin Shop Mall profile, where all your contact info can be found. This is perfect for in-store or coin show offers without a specific online URL.

Getting Started

  1. Log In & Go to “My Listings”
  2. Add or Edit Your One-Shot Deal
    • Update your 50-character text for the week’s special.
    • Decide if you want to link directly to a product page, your online store, or any other relevant URL.
    • If no link is entered, your deal links to your Coin Shop Mall profile automatically.
  3. Save & Confirm
    • Remember, once you set your deal, that’s your one shot for the week! Choose wisely and make it count.

What Kind of Deals are Appropriate?

  • Showstoppers Only!
    This is your “doorbuster” moment. What’s so good that potential customers (or other businesses) can’t ignore it?
  • Wide Variety of Items & Offers
    • Coins, paper money, bullion (gold, silver, platinum)
    • Collecting supplies, catalog subscriptions, discount services
    • Special in-person deals for your retail store or upcoming coin shows
    • Wholesaler or dealer services (insurance, grading, etc.)
    • Limited-time or new-customer-only promos
  • eBay Listings Welcome
    If your deal is on eBay, we’ll include our affiliate link—this helps keep the site free for everyone. But you can link anywhere you like!

Tips for a Great One-Shot Deal

  1. Be Clear & Concise
    You only have 50 characters, so make every word count.
  2. Add Scarcity
    Encourage quick action: “Limited to 10 buyers” or “Valid this weekend only.”
  3. Focus on Benefits
    Highlight what the customer gains—discounted price, rare find, exclusive access—in those 50 characters.
  4. Aim for Universal Appeal
    Whether it’s a coin collector or a dealer, make your deal sound irresistible.

Restrictions & Guidelines

  • No Cryptocurrency or Loans
    We do not allow advertising for any cryptocurrency, investment, or loan services. Pawn loans are also strictly prohibited.
  • No Counterfeits or Scams
    Any unethical or illegal activity will result in immediate removal from both the One-Shot list and our directory.
  • We Reserve the Right to Decline
    If there’s any doubt about your offer’s validity or suitability, we may err on the side of caution but will do our best to work with you to adjust it.
