New user-friendly online venue provides opportunity for collectors to buy, sell and trade for one flat annual fee
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 28, 2009 — Collectors looking to buy, sell and trade goods online now have a new resource to turn to with the grand debut of the website CollectiBoards.com ). For just one flat-rate annual fee, collectors who sign up to use CollectiBoards can join in on the online collecting boom – but avoid the frustration of high costs and user confusion often associated with many of the popular websites currently catering to collectors.
"The feedback we've received about CollectiBoards has been incredible, and, in fact, the site has even been described as 'Craigslist on steroids,'" says Marc Sigoloff, owner of CollectiBoards. "We have so many categories for collecting that users are going to be blown away by the options. Yet our goal is to keep the site simple, so it's not overwhelming to use. There's no reason why people shouldn't enjoy collecting, and a complicated, pricey online experience just gets in the way of their fun."
An avid film buff and collector of political memorabilia, Sigoloff founded CollectiBoards to keep user costs low and create a viable community of collectors online. Unlike other popular collecting and e-trade websites, CollectiBoards fosters open communication among those wishing to buy, sell or trade. Anyone on the site can contact other users, plus CollectiBoards allows people to build "communities" for specific hobbies. For example, a user could start a community targeted to "political autographs" or "sci-fi film memorabilia." What's more, all this is offered for one annual fee of just $29.99, a price that includes advertising as well.
"CollectiBoards isn't about trying to compete with other similar online sites, but this format offers a viable and affordable alternative," Sigoloff explains. "For instance, my eBay fees run anywhere from $100 to $175 a month, and I end up paying a lot of money for things that don't sell. With my site, there's only a registration fee and nothing else – no listing fees or percentages of sales taken."
With its affordable annual rate, unlimited postings, open communication among users, an extensive item catalog, no listing or commission fees and quick sign-up, CollectiBoards enables collectors to make the most of their hobby. "CollectiBoards is changing global collecting forever," concludes Sigoloff.
