Learn to buy and sell antiques and collectibles

About
Terry Gibbs

I have been buying and selling collectible trains and toys since I was in grade school. I put together this web site so I can share the collectible finding strategies I developed over the past 28 years with others.

Since 1998, I have been teaching people how to buy and sell antiques and collectibles. I have taught over 7,000 people how to sell on eBay, and ran over 12,000 eBay auctions.

Here on IWantCollectibles.com, you will learn how to buy and sell antiques and collectibles. Use the navigation links on the left to see more of the site.

I have built magnificent train layouts that are wonders to behold and have a another web site devoted to toy trains. Check it out here: Toy Trains

For additional questions or information

Here I am with some of my trains.
