The E-Sylum: Volume 02, Number 1, January 4, 1999, Article 4

Longtime NBS member Larry Mitchell would like to share his perspective on selling numismatic literature in today's networked world. An online pioneer, Larry founded NumisNet in 1989, "the first BBS (bulletin board system) in the world devoted exclusively to numismatic collecting… Given all the changes in the online world over the past decade, what's the best way for numismatic bibliophiles to buy and sell INDIVIDUAL items? (I stress SINGLE items since…MULTIPLE lots are still best sold through Kolbe, Bourne, Lake, Davis, etc.)"

Larry "discovered EBay some time ago. EBay acts as a VENUE ONLY for all types of auctions… and it has TWO categories for numismatic books" (U.S and non-U.S.). Larry currently has some literature auctions running on EBay - for more information write to him at lhedrick@qnet.com.
