Worrying about investments? Think Collectibles.

Last year I sat with an investment analyst - I’m not filthy rich, but it was a freebie the bank offered and who doesn’t want to do the best thing with their savings. Anyway, I had gotten a bit of an inheritance, and the bank people wanted to be sure I’d do the right thing with my money. Well, he encouraged me to put 80% of my savings in a retirement fund that would give me 7% interest and make me a millionaire by the time I retired. Sounded good on the surface, but my gut was telling me - don’t… Continue

So Who's Willing to Get Their Hands Dirty?

It's been a flurry of activity since I launched the eBay alternative ning just a few days ago. Many of you have contacted me privately to express your interest, ideas and frustrations - and, for that, I am encouraged and grateful. I do hope as we move forward with this "committee", "group" or "association" more will be willing to share their thoughts with the group publicly so we all can benefit from these collective insights. If you are seriously motivated to find a viable alternative to eBay,… Continue

Endless Opportunities for Antiques Sellers, Let's Prioritize

As I am digging deeper into our online selling options, reaching out to sites with either technology or antiques industry information, and receiving contact from many other sellers with opinions and insights - I have to tell you, I am overwhelmed... I'm even MORE EXCITED but I am... overwhelmed. The antiques industry is so fragmented and there are so many relevant considerations, I've decided to gather my thoughts and compile "white papers": the first will be called "State of the Industry" foll… Continue

Why It's Called "eBay Alternative"

Many of the people I have made contact with in the antiques business are eBay "refugees." They've left eBay because of what most consider "anti-seller" changes and they are actively scouring the Web to find... an "eBay alternative." In fact, there are nearly 10,000 searches for that particular phrase (not including any of the variations) and if any of those searching are antiques sellers, then I want them to be able to find this ring. If I've created a sour taste in your mouth, I apologize. The… Continue

Launch of eBay Alternative for Antiques / Vintage Sellers

Welcome! If you're here, then chances are you are spending some time and effort searching for another selling venue for your antiques, collectibles, artwork or vintage items following what most of us have deemed as "anti-seller" changes on eBay. Take heart, you're not alone. There are many eBay "refugees" combing Web page after page in their attempts to discover a viable eBay alternative. As you've probably experienced, this can seem like a very futile exercise so I've opted to establish a ring… Continue
