Generally, these auction sites are the forums in which the auction takes place: the actual monetary transaction between the winning bidder and the seller takes place privately. Great deals can be found, particularly on used books, BUT prices can also become dramatically overblown.

Some free advice on buying from an online auction:

1. Know the value of the item you are bidding on: when in doubt, try checking out the prices on similar items listed on some of these Sherlock-for-sale websites
2. Pay attention to the seller's feedback profile from her/his previous sales: The vast majority of sellers are prompt and reliable, but don't bother placing a bid if the seller has recent complaints about quality, financial transactions, etc.
3. If you really want an item, bid towards the end of the auction
4. Arthur Conan Doyle's "signature" was often signed by his personal secretary, so watch out.

Sherlock Holmes International is the forum for the viewpoints of Sherlock Holmes's fans wordwide.

I don't want to keep this wonderful url adress to myself: www.sherlock-holmes.org.  I would like for it to be valuable to all "Holmesians," whatever their language. It's why you can write me (billy@sherlock.fr.eu.org) (only in French or in English, please) in order to add a Holmesian site which is not listed on this page. (Don't forget to mention which international page the new address is for!). Also, you can write to Jenny Newbury, who maintains this English version.

If a language is not a part of Sherlock Holmes International, you can also ask me to create a new Welcome Page in this language, but please help with the translation!  ;-)

Also, you can visit my web site about Sherlock Holmes "Les Dix Sept Marches". It is in French, but some pages are also translated into other languages.

Sherlock Holmes International is neither a commerical site nor an association. It's an independent website based on the principle of free-willed, international aid to the glory of the tenants of 221B Baker Street.
