1) “Antiques Roadshow meets Match.com” – why? Collectors can search for similar collectors in their geographic areas or look for a specific keyword in the same way that Match works.

2) Manufacturers do provide content by uploading their own collections which are available for sale but CQ provides content in the form of professionally produced broadband video which covers collectors and conventions alike, a blog on the industry, as well as user-generated content in the form of collection profiles.

3) Content ownership IS mutual. Collectors own the physical items and CQ owns the rights to the digital images to use for promotion and syndication. (obviously respecting copyright issues)

4)All sales do not go off-line. Only peer to peer which is the same model as Craig’s List which has been successful. If someone is purchasing a brand new item from our site – that is done through the manufacturer itself (Mattel, Hasbro, Corgi etc) and is backed by a major name therefore no rating system is needed.

Finally, for those of you who would like to take a look at the full video, which will give you a full blown overview of the concept, please go to http://www.collectorsquest.com/videos/promo.html
