What is AVCOSA? It's a group site for online sellers of AVC -- a community where sellers all speak the same language: "antiques", and all that that entails -- passion, obsession, business, internet activities, selling, buying, marketing, learning, helping, sharing -- an info and resource hub, and new ideas font -- AVCOSA is a "good thing".
There have been so many changes and innovations to the online selling world. Online sellers, especially of AVC, have their work cut out for them.
And that's where AVCOSA comes in, giving us a place to come together to talk about what we do and how we do it, to see what works for others, addressing the unique issues related to online selling.
AVCOSA is set up as a community group site (on the NING platform). As a member, you get your own website, in the form of your profile page, on which to promote your online business and selling venues, as well as your own blog, and photo gallery.
We have lots of experienced smart members posting interesting articles, having intelligent discussions, networking, and making friends, while helping each other out with the business of online antiques selling.
Our objective is to be a place for advancing your knowledge -- a wonderful forum for online sellers to discuss and learn, share and teach, about any subject pertaining to selling, with the emphasis on this "brave new world" of online options.
We'd love for you to join us. It's simple, and there is currently no membership fee. Please read our Policies page, then Sign Up, and then you can set up your membership profile page, and start participating in this new adventure.
