Back in the day, when you wanted to find a certain collectible, it could take an entire lifetime of searching flea markets, antique shops, and garages sales. With the advent of the Internet, though, it can be pretty easy to find exactly what you want, no matter where in the world it is.
Not only that, but you can often find your favorite collectibles at really reasonable prices. There are a lot of little online shops that specialize in certain types of collectible items. In addition, there are several auction sites, like eBay for example, where you can find hard to find items up for bid.
Over time you can build a pretty awesome collection. Have you dreamed of owning something special? Lady head vases are a popular item that a lot of people collect. There are always several beautiful ones being bid on. Some people are into salt and pepper shakers, others collect a variety of items from a specific period of time, like Western memorabilia.
The largest selection of collectibles is on eBay, and if you keep your eye on the auctions, you'll eventually find exactly what you're looking for. The best part is you often can get things for much less than you'd pay in an antique store. If the price of the item goes too high, you can always wait until another one comes up for bid. The convenience is great too - shopping from the comfort of your chair can't be beat sometimes. In the time it would take you to visit one store in person you can search on hundreds of online stores. The Internet is really the only way to go if you want to add to your collection.
