Has anyone started collecting things on ebay?

My friend loves Anchor Hocking forest green dishware and has started a nice collection from bidding on ebay. I love Fenton cranberry hobnail glass and got a really nice compote cup from ebay for $5.00 and I was a late last minute bidder too.

I love this sort of glass and never seemed to find it in antique stores. Alot have that 'milky' glass mixed with the cranberry color - I don't like that sort. So ebay is my new collector's friend.

I havent started just expanded on my Cinderella collection. Right now I am looking for a snwglobe ornament that my kids broke it was in the Disney store two years ago and I loved it. I have been looking online and can not find it. It was tear drop with blue tassel at the bottom. really pretty (hint to my Secret Santa)

Ebay is soooooo addicting..You could literally find anything and everything you could possibly want.

I never heard of Fenton cranberry hobnail glass, so I did a search on ebay. Turns out I have a piece!! It was my grandmother's and I took it when we sold her house, because it reminded me of her. Great to know - I didn't realize it was something people collected. I might get another piece.

This is the piece I have:

It's very nice! Yours is cranberry 'opalescence' - I like the ones that are just clear cranberry.

This is the piece that I have now. But most of the pieces I see are opalescence - I wonder if my piece is not real. I should bring it to a antique dealer and find out.
