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
