Net User's Guide to Buying Selling and Trading Collectibles

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.

Fantastic Introduction to Collectibles on the Internet!

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!
