1 comments about Wanted to Buy: A Listing of Serious Buyers Paying Cash for Everthing Collectible! (Wanted to Buy).

1. This is the 1999, 7th edition of the useful guide for anything collectible you want to sell. The comprehensive item listings cover nearly 400 categories of collectibles and 250 buyers with their name, address, phone, fax, e-mail and web site in many cases. Each buyer-listing provides information regarding the items they buy and an indication of the price ranges paid. Collectibles range from action figures to lighters to wind-up toys. In addition, there are about 20 pages of buyers of misc. items. The volume is easy to use and completely indexed. Well worth the price for anyone having collectibles to sell.

1. This is the updated 2002 edition of Don Hultzman's useful volume. The 208 page, softbound book covers more than 2,000 bettery operated toys with over 750 in full color. There's a nice introduction to the collectible with an interesting history, a rarity scale and a handy trouble-shooting guide. Items are listed in alphabetical order. Each toy is rated according to rarity. Battery toy collectors will find it of interest and value.

2 comments about The Net User's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Collectibles (Gulliver's Collectibles).

1. Any book that can have me chuckling through an explanation of how to create a web page deserves special mention. The Net User's Guide ups the reader's giggle quotient while deftly communicating the how-to's of not only simple web site construction, but the whole, intriguing world of collectibles and the Internet. I'm a relative newcomer to collecting, and I appreciated the depth of information, and especially the inside tips! Having access to the Members Only section of the author's supporting web site is a major bonus, too. I believe even seasoned `gatherers' will find much to satisfy their thirst for ever more knowledge about their own particular (and, as R.J. Gulliver points out, sometimes peculiar) passion.



2. This is a wonderful book that gives a very thorough introduction to collectibles on the internet. Mr. Gulliver has really done his research! He includes information on why we collect, and has sections on buying, selling and trading. The author gives lots of examples from his own experience, and gives the reader hints on how to be successful and careful. He gives detailed advice on using internet auctions as a safe and exciting way to find or sell a special item.

   One of my favorite parts is the appendix! Mr. Gulliver has a large list of web sites for companies that deal in collectibles, making it easy to check into them. He also lists many of the internet auction sites, complete with a review of the good and bad points of each.

   Another part of the book I liked was the very detailed instructions on how to build a web site of your own! The author gives easy to follow information on basic html, plus how to link pictures and upload your site from your computer. The pictures throughout the book are a real plus!

   I strongly recommend this book to anyone that is involved in any way with collectible items on the internet! While it is geared to those that are new to auctions, message boards and internet buying and selling, it is a valuable resource for experienced collectors as well! I have been buying and selling on auction sites for some time and really enjoyed the book. I sure wish I had had it when I first got started! I will keep this book close to my computer as a handy reference!

1 comments about Wedgwood.

1. There is a lifetime of information stuffed into these two unwieldy volumes. For anyone seriously interested in the legacy of Josiah Wedgwood or in the development of the pottery business in Britain in the late 18th century - or simply in the beauty of the objects illustrated - this massive undertaking is a necessity. Any objections are quibbles. It's difficult to use without a library stand or table. Its layout is workmanlike and the illustrations cry out for more color and larger size.
