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!

Just 2 More Online Shopping Weeks Till Christmas!

Now's the time to surf for deals!  When you purchase from small sellers at online marketplaces such as Bonanza, you're supporting small business in a big way.  Many of these sellers are doing this to earn a living, not just to supplement existing incomes.  And they work hard at their job, doing their utmost to provide a good product at good prices.  But customer service is probably their greatest asset!  They want you to come back often, and will usually go out of their way to insure that you're happy with your purchase.

Worried about whether it will arrive in time for your holiday?  Want something shipped direct to the recipient?  When you find the perfect gift, don't hesitate to contact the seller prior to purchase to see if they can accommodate your needs.  Many will do whatever they can to make sure your holiday is hassle-free.

I've been doing a little surfing in the last few days, and have found some great gift ideas to share with you!  If you see something you like, just  click on the link to go to the listing.  Happy shopping!
