According to The Internet Antique Shop host of Kovels, there are a few simple rules for buying antiques and collectibles safely online:

1. Know your dealerHi, I am Anthony Wayne Harden, Florida native and President of Florida's oldest bottle club, the Antique Bottle Collectors of North Florida.  I have been a hobby collector and dealer since the late 70's.  I hold individual membership in as well as club membership in the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors.  Our club has been a continuing supporter of the Museum of Southern History where we meet monthly to share bottle discoveries and stories.

2.
How long has the merchant been selling online?  I began showcasing my collection on the world wide web in 1996.  I work full time for the School Board and do bottle trading as a hobby.  All proceeds from the sale of the bottles go towards the feeding and care of homeless and abandoned animals.

3.
Always check for a return policy. I have established a satisfaction guaranteed or money back policy since showcasing the bottles.  To date I have only had satisfied customers.

4.
Make sure payments are secure.  I accept mailed payments in the form of check or money order. I no longer accept PayPal. 

5.
If you have questions about an item ASK! If you would like to see more detailed pictures of an item, just ask!  I have consistently tried to describe items exactly as they appear.  I am also available to discuss any item at 904-781-2620.

6.
Make sure that you know what the shipping costs are going to be.  I normally send packages by USPS and, to save you money, only insure upon request.  One bottle normally mails for anywhere from $2.50-5.00 depending on the size of the bottle.   There is no "handling charge".
