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 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.
