Auctions
Allthough every country has its own auctions on line (like we in Belgium
have yezzz), you can
not find any or very few scarce Tolkien books for sale there. There is
ofcourse ebay to fullfill your needs. Ebay is the largest and biggest and best auctionsite internationally and features
2000 Tolkien related items daily. Ebay has become the major source for
Tolkien collectibles as well as numerous other new and used items. The
downside is that the availability of items has actually created a whole
new group of collectors. This has increased demand and prices have shot
dramatically upward. But then again... if you are looking for a specific
book, you have a big chance finding it up for sale on ebay. And if it
is not very scarce you should be able to make a choice of condition and
country of oirigin, payment method, etc. which makes collecting Tolkien
related materials a lot easier!
The secret to finding treasures on Ebay and any other internet auction
is proper searching. There are so many Tolkien items up for graps on Ebay
at any one time. It is very time-consuming to list all of these and examine
each one. Searching allows you to refine the item listing and taylor it
to the items you select.
