So after having a quirky but to my eyes really good site they have now gone with a revamp that tracks the style of many others

Do folk think it's progress ? Personally I am struggling with it and the inclination to check new arrivals has been removed

I guess it will save me some money !!

It was better before - having all new arrivals in dated chronological order and most usefully on one page.... It also loaded a lot faster.


The sold/previous pieces also don't go back as far as they used to. It was very useful as a reference for checking things

I might be missing something, but there is a Latest Aarivals link ( top left of homepage) that can be sorted chronologically...

Yes, but it used to be dated, so you could see exactly what was new and when.

Their website change is a classic example of ill-thought out change.
It is so slow now that I often do not bother waiting for a response.
On the rare occasion that I do wait for a response, it does not display new arrivals in a user friendly manner.
2 out of 10 from me

Further server improvements over the last 48 hours have seen it speed up but not quite there yet, compare options and tags now work and more info and ability is being added by the day. Bear with it and keep the comments coming as it informs the changes.

They're way too expensive anyway so no problem for me.

Few more tweaks this week and getting slicker everyday, search is live and should extract info and become more intuitive over time.
