I am a historian and the webmaster for the California State Military Museum and I have found EBay to be an outstanding source of images for our website and we have found just small, inexpensive and one-of a-kind artifacts dealing with California Military History.  I have a list of patrons who will consider bidding and donating if the price is low.  I also pass information on things I see to friends at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area who bid on this such as photos for the National Park Service.

I'm writing an article for History News about museums and eBay (and other
online auction sites). Anyone care to share your experiences with me? I'm
looking for good and bad, acquisition and deaccession, policies that you
may have been adopted, and other ways in which museums and their staff have
responded to this cultural phenomenon. Many thanks!
