Treasure Hunting” – Collecting Antique And Vintage Merchandise At Affordable Prices
If you love the “treasure hunt” of finding antiques and vintage collectibles, has your search become harder and harder? Are you finding that the great little antique shops and even the larger antique and collectible consignment malls are disappearing due to the economic downturn? Are you searching out online sources for your desires and being disappointed by selection, quality and price? Then you are a “true” collector.
I am a 14 year veteran and Powerseller and buyer at eBay and I know what sellers and buyers are looking for and this is why VBMShops took flight. VBMShops is geared to meet the needs of the small boutique buyers and sellers of Vintage, Antique and Newer merchandise. These sellers and buyers have been forgotten in the new philosophical direction that eBay has adopted. Quite literally eBay has turned into a wholesaler like Kmart or Walmart, pushing tons of new cheaply foreign made things into the marketplace and “wanting to be all things to all people”. The small boutique buyer and seller are looking for more…they want a one of a kind selling and shopping experience from the convenience and comfort of their own home.
VBMShops has the “bones and body” of eBay but the “heart and soul” of a fine specialty store boutique, each having a qualified “shopkeeper” to share their expertise and trends that are occurring on the horizon.
VBMShops.com announces an exciting new concept in online auctions with the opening of “The Collectors” Street of Shops comprised of highly focused boutiques geared to the buyer and seller of antique and vintage unique, one of-a-kind collectible merchandise. Each boutique is designed to meet the special needs and interests of discriminating buyers and sellers. Follow the latest trends, news and more. Find commentary from experts and join in discussion groups made up of people with similar interests.
Go immediately to www.VBMShops.com to register and begin this incredible new adventure in online selling and shopping.
The “Collectors” Street currently has:
- Vintage Gems Emporium for antique, vintage and new fine and costume jewelry.
- Just4Collectibles for all types of new and used collectibles.
- Art Antiques Galleria for fine art and estate furniture and accessories.Vintage Closet Finds for antique and vintage clothing and accessories.
- Vintage Sports Fanatics for sports memorabilia.
The future for the “Collectors” shops will include stamps, coins, antique books and paper ephemera.
This neighborhood “street of shops” is geared to particular market segment that appreciates the provenance and history associated with things from the past. The current boutiques are as follows:
Vintage Gems Emporium for antique, vintage and new fine and costume jewelry. It is in this boutique where fabulous signed and unsigned antique and vintage jewelry can be found from past eras such as Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Retro, Mod, Punk and all the way to the present day. If you love to buy or sell fine and costume jewelry “with a past” then this is a great place to be.
Just4Collectibles for all types of vintage and used collectibles. Here the buyer and seller will find a wonderful assortment of collectible items from glassware, pottery, comic books, and more. Think of this as your neighborhood “thrift or consignment shop” with a little of this and a little of that. Where prices are great and the assortment is fabulous. You will want to put up your feet and grab your favorite beverage and browse at Just4Collectibles because there are surprises around every corner.
Art Antiques Galleria for fine art and estate furniture and accessories. In this boutique you can buy or sell antique and vintage furniture, silverware, china, pottery, signed and famous artwork, sculpture, and more. This boutique is like your favorite antique store on any of the fine streets found throughout the world. It is exclusive and has a feel of “Old World” luxury where everything has a provenance with a patina to match.
Vintage Closet Finds for antique and vintage clothing and accessories. This shop will be a conglomeration of fabulous antique and vintage women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes and accessories. Sellers and buyers who love to have a unique look will find this boutique to be a wonderful source.
Vintage Sports Fanatics for sports memorabilia. In this specialty store collectible autographs, sporting goods souvenirs and antique and vintage sporting equipment can be found.
Sellers for all of the above boutiques are needed. Even though some of these boutiques do not have any merchandise for sell yet… do not be deterred from listing to sell as it will be like having your very own online boutique under the umbrella of the VBMShops marketing plan. How great is that? !!Sellers will find the listing process to be quick, simple and easy on the pocketbook with a fee structure that is extremely attractive—any simple auction listing to sell for under $20.00 (with no extras) will cost $.30 and the great thing is that there are no final valuation fees on any auction selling for less than $100.00. So compared to other online auction or fixed price sites, VBMShops will be the low cost leader.
VBMShops has the “bones and body” of eBay but the “heart and soul” of a fine specialty store boutique and is comprised of five “neighborhoods” or “streets” of market segmented boutiques geared to each unique customer base. Other “street of shops” include the “Trendsetters”, “Family Builders”, “Luxury Seekers” and “Artisans” with each having a definitive collections of boutiques. Over the next months more boutiques will be opened as part of each neighborhood. See all of our boutiques at www.VBMShops.com.
VBMShops needs sellers and buyers for the above listed boutiques and was started with four distinct philosophical strategies:
- To be the only online auction and fixed price boutique venue for antique, vintage and newer merchandise in environments that reflect the character and quality of the merchandise.
- To be the least costly online marketplace for sellers, having low listing, no final valuation fees on anything selling for less than $100.00 and the lowest FVF on the web for sales over $100.00, plus lots of free extras.
- To provide fair and equal treatment of both sellers and buyers.
- To provide all non-profit organizations a place to list an unlimited number of auctions at absolutely no cost, FOREVER.
VBMShops.com realizes that in these difficult economic times charitable organizations need all the help they can get to carry on their good works. So, all 501(c)(3) organizations may have unlimited listings on VBMShops sites at no cost…ever…totally free. It’s our way of giving back to the community. See VBMShops.com for details.
