Read a brief history of computer-aided collecting and how one famous line of plush toys drew collectors to the Internet by the thousands. Learn about limited editions, special editions, open editions, and drop-dead retirements. Find out how to tell if a particular line of collectibles is right for you, and how to connect with others who share your passion.

Product Description
In a brand new introduction author Nancy L. Hix primes you with new web sites to buy, sell and trade collectibles. Whether it's antiques or collectibles, she shows you how to bargain with people on the Internet. You'll learn to use auction sites with confidence, while making your auctions stand out among the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy,sell,trade,get this book!, September 3, 1999

By	annieo16W@yahoo.com (Hinsdale, Il USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collectors Guide to Buying Selling and Trading on the Internet (Collector's Guide to Ser.) (Paperback)

New to the internet, recently I purchased Nancy's book. I found it to be the best tool of information I have. It is easily understandable for a novice like me. I have collected for years but this book opened up a new world by helping me to understand all aspects of buying,selling, and trading on the internet. Her book saved me hours of time trying to figure out things that were new to me. I recently gave her book to two friends of mine who are very experienced net surfers and they agree, this book covers it all. I highly recommend it to both sides of the fence. Novices/Experienced

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY INFORMATIVE BOOK!!!, August 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Collectors Guide to Buying Selling and Trading on the Internet (Collector's Guide to Ser.) (Paperback)

I wish I had this book about 6 months ago when I started buying off the internet. The information provided in this book has helped me understand and get a handle on all the terms and procedures in auctions and in trading. I believe that I have become a better bidder and trader after reading this book. I'm going to use this book to design my own homepage which will look great following Nancy's step-by-step procedures. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in buying, selling, or trading collectibles over the internet. A great investment for any collector!!!!
