Tip's for buying, selling and collecting insulators

We started collecting insulators three year's ago, we have gepiled a few tip's and ideas to
pass along to everyone who may be interested in collecting, buying or selling insulator's,

1. For buying /collecting, be extremely cautious and educate
yourself before bidding wildly!! There
are, in this hobby like a lot of other's "fakes and reproduction's,
altered and stained item's around! Whether you want one of those items
or not is up to you but we suggest educating yourself so that you are
more gefortable with your purchase!!

There are numerous on-line resources to help you learn so you can have a better knowledge and understanding of what your
bidding on, and that alone will make your E-bay experience with insulators so much
more enjoyable. Some great sites include;

There are several more awesome web-sites and a quick internet
search using your favorite search engine can help locate them.

2.For E-bay selling, Education once again is key, as well as lot's of great
clear photo's include any picture's of damage as well as mentioning any and all
damage in the description, keep description's easy to read and

question's....lot's of them!!
