We are just searching for a WebSite of antiques, to create a seller account to sell to WorldWide. We would like to know if you have knowledge about any site recomended by you. Apologize for any bother. Thank you.

Answer
Hello Carmanz,
Are you presently selling on eBay?
There are other websites like Ruby Lane where you 'create a store' and sell through their website.
I have been selling on eBay since 1999 and although this is not necessarily the best outlet for antiques, eBay does allow the product to be shown worldwide in the hope of more buyers/bidders.
Before I was selling on eBay there were a multitude of other start-up antique sites but many have been put out of business by eBay.
Most sellers create their own website for the internet, also sell on eBay and mingle the two together for best results.
If you sell thimbles and needlework tools - I am always interested in purchasing quality antiques. You may contact me directly at: xtahoeviews@yahoo.com
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Irene
