Directory of Multi-Dealer Shops, Malls, Co-Ops
WHERE TO FIND THE DIRECTORY
This is our new domain name: antiquetrip.com We've placed it on the
new server, the search engines are finding it anew, and the pages
should come up faster for you now. If you had bookmarked a copy on the
Compuserve address you noticed an announcement followed by a
delay and now here you are. and thank you for coming. We've provided this
information on the Web for over twelve years and we really hope it is helping
your customers find you.
We're hoping this is the year you decide to buy into our project a little
more by obtaining "live links" to your Web sites. This would make our
pages a virtual catalog of the inventories of your shops. And bring in enough
income that this site could go to the next level of service for you. Online
secure forums and dynamically-generated pages cost money and so much more
time.
OK, you're here. Now let's all make a buck.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Our viewers are downloading and printing out copies of each state page to
take with them on shopping trips. Whatever you do, make sure your important
information appears on your state page, as that is what they are carrying.
FREE LISTINGS
Any real shop (not virtual) located in the U.S. or Canada that has at least
three dealers in antiques and/or older collectibles qualifies. This
includes consignment shops with that kind of inventory.
For free listing, please submit the following in any convenient form --
we'll use as much of it as possible and edit as necessary. You are welcome to
try the input form at the bottom of this page but it is experimental and we're
not sure if it works from all computers. The form is set up for shops that
qualify for free listing.
1. name of shop
2. street address and P.O. Box
3. city
5. zip code or equivalent
6. (optional) steering instructions from nearest major intersection(s)
--please condense
7. shop phone and fax number(s). If no phone, let me know that fact but try to
give us one for our records. And tell us if it is not to appear in listing.
We still need your telephone area code for placing your listing.
8. (optional) handicapped status. If shop is fully accessible or even
partly (which part). For a definition of Handicapped Access, please see
Americans With Disabilities Act.
9. (optional) e-mail address we can include in the listing
10. (optional) shop URL: mostly to satisfy our curiosity; see also
"enhancements" below:
11. number of dealers or typical number of consignors
Anything more than this, please see below:

PAID LISTINGS
We charge for:
1. Listing shops that are not multi-dealer or consignment shops,
for basic listing as above, or to enhance a paid listing, as below
2. Multi-dealer or consignment shops, to add to the listing as below*

Please understand that the main push of this project is to list shops
one could sell through, whether by renting space or consigning. It is not
our intent to list every antique shop in the northern hemisphere. Shops
that are in the business that want to be listed but don't qualify are
required to pay a small fee for listing.
