Yes, I used this site most of the summer both buying and selling and there are no fees at all. You are able to pay with paypal but they do not push you as Ebay does. I've bought from Florida and have sold to Texas, Georgia and other states. This site works very well. Nancy

Sue, Thanks for posting this. What confuses you about the photo hosting?

Hey breenthumb, We live walking distance from the nursery. Went to the auction in the spring and picked up 2 nice maples. Prices are quite amazing. Selection is hit or miss. Last year there wasn't much we were interested in but this year I bid on quite a bit. There were quite alot of trees this time. There's also Country Way on 441 kinda expensive during the year but they also had an auction maybe 2 years ago. Don't know if that was a one time thing. denise

Hi neilt81, Your idea is interesting. I have been thinking about something similar. I collect and deal in Insurance Ephemera, especially insurance policies etc. For a long time I have been dealing through e-bay, but what I was missing is my own space where I could put items on display, not necessarily for immediate sale. This implies having and supporting another website of my own - not so great as I have no idea in website building. Another issue is the difficulty to access some of the dealers in antiquities. I frequently go to antique fairs, but, as youy can guess, I can cover only those close to my home. Therefore, I miss potential finds elsewhere, and that is because most of the dealers have no sites. And when they do have, it is difficult to find them. ANd when I find them - then there is a question of honesty, trust, payment, postage and all that. I am sure many collectors can say it is frustrating. What you are suggesting is good. Maybe you can gather some ideas from the site I have been using: www.mythings.com I list there my collection but also items for sale. There is no option of selling through this site, but there is a very valuable (to me) option taht they have announced to be coming soon - the portfolio that I have there, will be directly connected to e-bay. That means that you can have a stock of your items on Mythings and you can send them automatically to ebay for sale. Before I started using them I actually talked to their developing team (they are in London), nice lads. With your idea, I suggest you talking to them, because I can see that your idea can work very well with their already existing platform, and you will get the traffic of their site! :) If you go there, make sure you pop into my portfolio, my screen name there is Jacob. All best Jacob. Here is a link that might be useful: For your info
