Introduction: Founder of Antiques, Vintage & Collectibles Online Sellers Association
Thank you for your interest in AVCOSA! I hope that you will share in our vision to build an online selling community allowing us to leverage the power of numbers, share information and resources, and conduct business online in a responsible manner.
A little about me... I currently live in the greater Columbus, Ohio area with my husband and four children. Prior to getting into the antiques business, I had my own marketing and public relations (with a specialization in online marketing) firm for about eight years. I was forced to give up the business when I became ill and, at that time, I formed a new passion for "all things old".

Note that we have decided to maintain a somewhat open membership for the steering committee so if you have an interest in participating (and yes, there is work involved), please contact me.
Currently, the steering committee is tackling a number of projects, most significantly is the development of a "stand alone" Web site (to reside at www.a… Continue
I'm in the process of adding an AVCOSA Member Web Site Directory to our site. I will be adding the following information for each member with a verified* selling site (you will be responsible for sending me this information - either e-mail to me or post to this thread):
1. Business Logo / Avatar
2. Brief Business Description (please limit to 100 words)
3. Business URLs / Web Site Addresses
I've received a number of e-mails from Antique, Vintage & Collectibles Online Sellers Association members on a variety of topics that are related to the professionalism of our group. As a "professional organization", it's important that each member act accordingly when posting or sharing information on "my pages" as well as extend common courtesies to other members during our mutual interactions.
Although I want to maintain a site that is reflective of o… Continue

Honestly I have no clue. AlleyKat's has a web designer that handles all the nitty gritty. I repel technology. I can check and find out for you. I know we are in the process of writing custom CSS codes in order to add button links on the left side of the page..for AVCOSA main page..for example. Glad you like it..it is an ongoing works in progress. Sos we love getting the feedback.
Will let you know what I find out.
Thanks Julie...I'm glad you liked the Ebay store..Obviously, I don't just deal in Antiques and Collectibles, but, I must say, finding a one of a kind treasure is what keeps me in this business. Business is really picking up the last week or so. People are getting ready for Christmas early this year. My New items and dishes are starting to fly. Yippee!! Heres to an awesome holiday season!
