Welcome to the Collectible Corner blog!

Do you love strolling through flea markets and antique malls? Do you spend hours on the internet scrolling through collectibles categories at marketplaces such as Ebay and Bonanza? Do your palms get sweaty when you find something precious and rare for $1 at a garage sale? Are YOU a collector?
Then follow me! I'll show you tips and tricks for cleaning that oddity you found tucked away in Great-Aunt Polly's attic. I'll talk about how to find a deal and how to spot a fake. I'll share links to some interesting finds. But mostly, we'll just talk about collecting!

Free Shipping Friday 12/16 Don't Miss It!

Collectible Corner

On Friday, December 16, nearly 1,900 online merchants both large and small will be participating in a Free Shipping Day.  For last minute shoppers concerned about getting gifts in time for Christmas, the majority of the free shipping deals will be for expedited shipping.  

Merchants are asked to guarantee delivery in time for the holiday, but a little caveat here - while the merchants will do everything in their power to get your items to you fast, no one can guarantee that the post office will do their part.  So while it's unlikely that a package will arrive late, remember that ultimately it's up to the carrier to get it to you in time.  As long as the merchant ships right away and uses an expedited service, they've done  their part to keep the delivery promise.

To view the list of all participating merchants, click this link.   They include big retailers such as Kohl's, Van's, Lands End and JC Penny, as well as Ebay stores, Etsy artisans and - you guessed it - Bonanza sellers.  To view the list of Bonanza sellers who are participating, you can click this link.

There are about 150 Bonanza merchants participating in this promotion.  I've been doing a little browsing this morning and wanted to show you some of the goodies I've found from those participating sellers.  Click on the captions to go to that seller's booth.  Great  gift ideas!
