Near-Mint...for collectors!

Came across Near-Mint recently, a new online collectible auctions site.

Here's the blurb taken straight from the site:

"What is Near Mint? Near Mint is more than an online auction company - Near Mint supports the collectible scene. It offers dealers and collectors a space in which to trade in the style they have become accustomed through other sites but in a more tailored, focused and uncluttered environment. "

Having bought and sold over eBay for nearly 5 years, I've found that the experience is getting more difficult and less enjoyable as there's now too much for sale, loads of dodgy/copied stuff (especially from Far East sellers, who are listed as being in the UK but always seem to ship from Hong Kong or Singapore...)

Ok, so the Near-Mint listings are far from cluttered...some might say a little sparse at the moment, with little activity. But given time and support, I think this could work.

I for one will list some stuff on there in the near future, taking advantage of the v low listing costs (in fact, mostly free!).

A great bit of the Near-Mint site is its encyclopedia section - all you wanted to know about collectible stuff, from comics, trading cards, through to computer gaming and autographs.

Check it out!
