Niche Sites

Niche sites may be the real cream of the crop, depending on what you are

selling. And, as was said earlier, niche sites attract targeted visitors. Sounds

like the perfect combo!

Here are a few possibilities that might “fit” with your passion...

1) Free Bid ( http://www.freebid.de /) is a German site specializing in

antiques and art, both European and German. The entire site is in German so I

was at a disadvantage to understand it completely but it gets reasonably good

traffic and it might be a good source for anyone interested in international

sales.

2) Just Glass ( http://www.justglass.com /) concentrates on (surprise!) just

glass! They sell such items as Vaseline glass, Avon, Boyd Glass, Collector

40’s, 50’s, 60’s Glass, Phoenix/Consolidated, Pyrex and Elegant Depression

Glass. The site has a nice collection of features, such as access to an expert,

online prices guide, a bookstore, no fees, dealer shops and an online

magazine.

3) Biddington’s ( http://www.biddingtons.com /) is the site of upscale

Biddington’s Contemporary Art Gallery. This isn’t a site like the other because

while Biddington’s definitely auctions its own property, it also acts as an

intermediary for anyone wanting to sell. You aren’t allowed to handle your

transaction yourself.

Normally, we wouldn’t include this site but it sells some really expensive art so

it might be worthwhile for anyone interested and knowledgeable in this field.

Biddington’s charges 10% commission for its services and holds the money in

escrow until the transaction is complete.
