I've been collecting a certain item for about 15 years. I had a pretty good collection before I found Ebay but upon finding Ebay my collection has now become advanced and grown by leaps and bounds! Things that I didn't even know existed have surfaced thanks to Ebay. It's the best source for finding things from all over the world. Yes, it's frustrating when "newbies" come in for a couple of months and inflate the prices and then disappear, but if you're in it for the long haul you'll find some really fabulous things at great prices.

Don't knock Ebay. There are some interesting people on Ebay and for the most part I've met some wonderful people who I correspond with that share their wealth of information. I only wish I'd found Ebay in the early days...
