Before you buy a Rare Map or Antique Print from an Online Seller . . .

If you were investing serious money you’d be a fool not to do your due diligence. Only then can you walk away perfectly happy and comfortable holding that investment if the market shuts down for the next ten years. Hence the Warren Buffett quote on investing. What does this have to do with buying rare maps and prints online?

 ​I bet you’ve heard this said before “I forgot to check the small print”. Ever done that yourself over some really important transaction or deal? Most of us have made this mistake at sometime.  Buying online has become so simple these days that it’s easy to forget to check on the details!

When it comes to those scarce old maps or collectable prints these items often can have a high value. All the more reason to make sure you check the description and images provided and contact the seller to ask for additional information and images if need be. You should also check:

• What are the delivery costs?
• How will the item be protected in transit? (Insurance)
• Will the item be shipped Internationally? (Extra fees/taxes)
• What payment options does the seller offer?
• Does the seller have a returns policy?​​​

Its fair to say that when buying online you need to have your wits about you.  There are many reliable and trustworthy online antique map and print dealers and sellers. Its simply good business practice to check the small print so you can buy with confidence.

​Happy Buying!
