Hi.
My name is Zack, and I own a nice quiet business in East Park.
Collectibles are personal things, and we all know that. What is one man's
treasure is another man's junk (or collectible). Some collect for value
and potential resale at a later time, and some collect just so they can go to
their display and enjoy what they see. If you are lucky enough to beat the
"collectible barons" who issue a later version of the same thing in
approximately 20 years and drop the bottom out of collecting their items (often
trademark items), you can profit handsomely. If not, enjoy what you have
already invested in and don't buy an more unless you see something new they
offer. Hans Pferffle has been collecting for so long that he has no room,
so he has rented a room in SWC to display his myriad of interesting items.
Some are valuable and some are not. Hans says that for the most part, he
gets more offers on items that he thinks are just fun than those of real
value. He says value is in the pocketbook of the admirer. We hope
that this site has many more wonderful collectibles, of all types, for you to
advertise and consider purchasing. Collecting is a marvelous habit, and
some serious trading has resulted from it. It has also made perfect
strangers, lifelong friends.

The following listing contains some of the great items for sale at the Shoppolis Collectibles Warehouse (SCW) featured in our header. These items comprise an delightful collection of items that represent a considerable assortment. There is something for everyone at the SCW including 1:18 replica automobiles to 45 rpm records. It is a great place to shop. Ask Millie Bumplin who sits at the front door and greets everyone. She is a quadraplegic auto accident victim who has the most infectious personality. It is she who puts you in the mood when you come in and puts you in a fine state of mind when you leave. While you are at it, ask Ted Wilkins who runs the place what's coming in that could be just what you are looking for. His staff of internet superstars can also cruise the web and find anything you are looking for.
