Does anyone have experience with buying items on e-bay for your museum's collections? Has it been successful? Did you encounter any problems? What were they? Any recommendations for other museums looking to fill specific needs for the collection in this manner? We are particularly interested in any attempts to purchase Civil War related artifacts in this manner. Thanks for your insights. Sincerely, Hugh Hugh H.
