Featured eBid Store – Selective Autographs
PapillonAutographs's eBid : All About
My name is John and I have been collecting autographs for over 35 years, my hobby started when I worked as an extra on the 1973 movie "Papillon", Starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman , this was a great experience, and also a privilege to meet and shake hands with Henri Charrière, Mr Papillon himself, who was acting as a consultant on location , I think he passed away in July 1973, before the film was released . In the photo you can see me walking up the gangplank, with the sack over my shoulder. On set I managed to aquire autographs from Steve McQueen , Dustin Hoffman , Ali MacGraw and others . It was a great experience to be involved in this classic, and to be around a legend like Steve McQueen , I even managed to shake his hand which was a cool experience. I have worked as an extra on many movies since . Autograph collecting has given me great pleasure by enabling me to meet and talk to famous people when asking for their autograph; therefore I have been able to amass a unique collection. However I have also purchased over the years from a variety of trusted and approved collectors . You will find a large range of rare and unique genuine autographs at reasonable prices . All autographs are scrutinized before they are presented for sale.

Where Eagles Dare
http://blog.ebid.net/2014/02/07/where-eagles-dare/
The 22nd Winter Olympics start today in Sochi so we can look forward to 18 days of skating, skiing and Snowboarding – to name just a few of the exciting events. In fact, there are a total of 98 events (12 of which are new) – so there’s definitely something for everyone.
This is all a far-cry from earlier Winter Olympics. It is now a highly –polished, ‘super-event’.

What's in a name?
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Yes its Shakespeare week in the UK , hence the tenuous link above. Wise words you would hazard from Juliet, but prithee, not so. Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to Listing Titles. What you use in your listing title is extremely important as to how your listing title is shown on search engines. Indeed if Juliet had spent more time on her listing titles and not messing about with that rascal Romeo, future events may have proved much happier for all concerned (spoiler alert!).

How to make the most of the eBid search function
As you all know, you can search for listings using the search box at the top of every page. To narrow the results, you can browse for auctions using the categories listed below the search box on every page.
But what if this doesn’t return quite what you expected, or the result seems irrelevant to the item you are searching for?

George Dubya, where are you now?
You have spent 3 weeks carefully completing your life-size replica of George W Bush in Papier Mâché, listed it and you settle back for a richly deserved coffee and a slice of Battenberg. A few days later, you check your listings and George Dubya cannot be found. Why is this?
