From the Author
My love of antiques started when my grandmother handed me three small yellow dishes and said simply "I want you to have these". She must have known something I didn't, because after researching them further I found them to be depression glass, and I was hooked. I currently manage two booths, one in Williamsburg, Virginia and one in Hancock, Maryland and, of course, sell on the Internet, with eBay being my personal favorite.

Should rename the title: "About computers and the Internet",
By A Customer
This review is from: The ABCs of Collecting Online (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book very disappointing, and the title is misleading. I thought I was going to learn all about collecting online and finding, buying and selling collectibles and antiques. Instead, there is detailed blow by blow descriptions about computers, how to choose internet providers, internet language, etc. There are nice pictures of antiques and collectibles, but they don't pertain to the author's discussions, and I felt they were used as fillers and fluff just to get enough pages in the book. This book would be good for the complete novice who has NEVER touched a computer or the Internet.

By Joann Massey (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ABCs of Collecting Online 2 (Revised edition) (Paperback)
The book doesn't tell how to sell or make money like the cover implies,and the information is very basic at best,and is for a complete beginner at auctions and computer use

Good idea, but not enough went into it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The ABCs of Collecting Online (Mass Market Paperback)
I got the impression that the idea for this book came together too fast and it went out on the market not well researched enough. Instead of all the technical information, tell me where to go on the web to find collectibles. When I saw the title I had high hopes but it told me what I already know. The pictures were nice but low-quality resolution and really didn't add much to collecting online. Too costly for what it offers.
