News-Antique.com - Sep 27,2011 - Garden City, New York - September 27, 2011 - TIAS.com (http://www.tias.com) reports an increase in new merchants starting new stores to take advantage of the upcoming Holiday shopping season.

It turns out that Christmas tree vendors are not the only merchants who magically appear around the Holidays. These retailers time the opening of their tree lots to coincide with peak demand for their merchandise. It turns out that a growing number of antiques & collectibles merchants are using a similar strategy to sell more merchandise online, by opening online stores in multiple locations on the Internet. Established merchants who have been selling online for years know that the more places their merchandise can be seen, the greater the chance of making sales.
From early October through the end of January, online sales for antiques and collectibles peak for the year. To take advantage of this selling season, more and more merchants are now using online antiques and collectibles marketplaces such as TIAS.com to quickly and easily open an online shop for the selling season. Established online antique malls such as TIAS.com already have an established clientele and there are no start-up fees or "per item" listing fees for a dealer to build out a store.
"It's not just new online merchants who start selling antiques & collectibles at this time of the year." said Phillip Davies President of TIAS.com. "We are seeing well established, market savvy antiques & collectibles dealers who might have their own Web site as well as listing merchandise in multiple online marketplaces such as TIAS.com. Since we don't charge any set-up fees or "per item" listing fees TIAS.com is a low cost way for dealers to sell more merchandise. All the seller has to do is cut and paste their descriptions into our system, upload their photos and their items are live on our site in no time at all."
