Back around 2003/2004 I was offering a number of Russian made Miniatures on ebay and luckily for me there was one buyer who happened to catch every single piece with his bids.
Auctions started a $0.99, but at the end I had a satisfying return on every piece.
The shipping address was on 5th Ave, New York, and I got curious, so I looked up the ebay feedback.
It happened that the Russian Miniatures (Top Quality items from Russian Vityaz or Arsenyev Studio) seemed to be just a secondary subject to look for.
His main collecting subject apparently was high priced designer watches.
From the transactions I could see in the feedback, he spent an average of $80,000.00 to a $100.000.00 a month on ebay.
So, you never know.
A fellow collector told me once, that somewhere in the world somebody will get up in the morning and log on to the web and be looking for just that item you put up for sale.
Not sure about that though :smile2: :wink2:, but you can't beat the worldwide exposure you can get on ebay with items you want to sell.
