Rule number two: Use only sites that are made for professional dealers.

Professional antiques and collectibles dealers need to have certain tools. a. They need to be able to load pictures, and lots of them, add a great deal of decription. b. They need to have a shopping cart that allows them to accept any form of payment they need. They also need a history of sales and commisions charged. c. They need a space to call their own. Any site a dealer uses should be able to give dealer a URL that will show only their own items, not everyone else's on site. It would also be great if you could search withing each dealers items

So sit back and let someone else worry about advertising and make sure it's free.

Because of nature of society today where litigation is par for course, many more business professionals are at greater risk of legal action being taken against them, and many more individuals face losing out in acrimonious divorce battles - therefore protecting one’s assets offshore can be a very effective way to ensure long term asset security.

Offshore Investment Opportunities

There are far more potentially high returning investment opportunities available offshore than domestically. Also, as many of world’s stocks are traded outside your country of residence there could be a significant advantage to trading offshore.

Greater Privacy

Developed countries are increasing levels of surveillance we are all placed under; as a result many more people grow concerned about their growing lack of personal privacy. By moving business activities and assets offshore this can directly assist with increasing personal privacy and confidentiality of business and financial transactions.

Of course, it goes without saying that privacy available will not protect people who are engaged in serious criminal activity.

Estate or Inheritance Tax Planning

We are all at risk of loosing a considerable amount of our estate in income and excise taxes when we die. With carefully structured and well managed offshore solutions such as trusts it is possible for some people to reduce their estate’s liabilities and therefore pass estate’s assets to their heirs with minimum tax and liability problems.

These are just five main reasons people seek to exploit world of offshore opportunities for asset protection purposes; there are many more potential advantages to going offshore but they all depend on an individual’s personal situation and requirements. It is essential to seek professional advice before considering going offshore and this article does not constitute advice in that sense.
