Things I collect
I have my collection room with shelves and bins full of items,
somewhere between 1-2 million. Shelves of foreign coin and currency books (640 countries,
34000 different types). Then there are the proof sets,
mint sets,
exonumia books,
rolls of US and foreign coins,
and bags of extras. I have a few shelves for my stamp collection. And then of course the Dinky and Corgi cars,
baseball and football cards,
1400 historical newspapers,
Expo 67 memorabilia,
and my mineral collection. And last but not least a few other smaller collections (like Canadian bottle caps-about 500). Languages spoken:
English, French, Spanish

Business InformationHistory/background
Since 1983 I have bought collections to increase my personal collection. When my inventory exceeded a million coins in 2004 it was time to seriously sell some. Ebay provided a great venue to reach foreign coin collectors. The online business has grown tremedously, in 2006 we became powersellers, in 2007 we became gold powersellers. Starting in March of 2008 new opportunities opened up in precious metals. Now we review much of the gold and silver in the Houston area before it is melted into bars. We just experienced a record month with $24000 in sales and are on our way to becoming platinum powersellers. My wife now works fulltime on the business and I have 2 1/2 days a week devoted to the Ebay business (not counting all the collection reviews)

Shipping information
We have the great luck to live just down the road from a 24 hour 7 day a week post office. We package up the days purchases and mail every day at 11PM (even Sundays).
Most coins are in a flip wrapped in 24 bond paper and mailed in a bubble mailer. Most notes are placed in a plastic sleeve. Higher priced items are protected in a priority mail box.
I try to balance our shipping costs and charges. For example in May our shipping costs were $510, our charges $524.
Read the individual listing, but many of our items are shipped worldwide.
Return policy
Occasionally I get a request for a return, reasonable requests are reasonable and I'll take an item back.
