Don't Get Ripped Off buying collectibles
Avoid
these four expensive mistakes!
-
Don't
buy collectibles or collectible
memorabilia sight unseen from people you don't know unless
you are sure they are honorable and honest citizens
-
Don't
buy collectibles until you are certain what you are getting
-
Don't
give out your credit card information to anyone you don't know
-
Don't buy collectibles or collectible
memorabilia online if you are not certain that the connection
is encrypted and secure
Life
was simpler when we bought only on a face to face basis. We
could examine the goods, pay for them with cash and walk home with our
purchase. No misunderstanding about what was being purchased, no
delivery problems, and, for the vendor, no collection problems. Done
Deal!
Person
to person may be tough to do if you are collecting something in short
supply. Our online business is selling Vintage Print Ads on ebay, and
we routinely deal with customers on the other side of the
world. We may get a particular ad from a vendor on the west
coast, 3000 miles away from
us,
and ship it to a customer in Australia!
Happily,
there are ways to protect yourself that are quick and simple and easy
and don't cost a dime!
Customer opinions about how they were treated by a
Merchant can help you. If you know several people who have
had good experiences with a vendor you are probably safe.
Several large online sites now collect and publish Customer Feedback
for both sides of almost every transaction. They are honest brokers.
Read about it on the Customer Feedback page of this site. You can also
check our personal history on ebay if you wish:
When purchasing used items, condition becomes an
important factor in the decision making process. Many collectible items
have established standards for grading that are worth being familiar
with. Information is available in the Directory on this site. If
established grading standards are not available, clear, accurate
descriptions are vital. In looking for Vintage Advertisements online
you will find descriptions like "in pretty good shape considering how
old it is" or "It's prettier than it looks, my scanner isn't too good"
or "unless we say otherwise it is in good shape." How can
anyone make sense out of that kind of gobbledygook!?! Take a look at
the Vintage Print Ad Grading Standards Page on this site. You can click

You CAN
buy online with the calm, cheerful assurance that the financial part of
the transaction will take place safely and securely and without a
problem. Now OR in the future! Read about it on this site at:
