By collectors for collectors.

Created by collectors for collectors, GoCollect is a destination for content, community and commerce that facilitates collecting for the over 37 million Americans that call themselves "collectors." On this consumer-focused site, collectors can find information about their collections, interact with other collectors and purchase their favorite collectibles and gifts. As home of the web's widest selection of gifts and collectibles, Go Collect has created the premier community for collectors of all interests and backgrounds.

Through its experienced management team and their relationships with leading retailers, Go Collect has established its community site as the collectibles industry's most trusted and comprehensive source for collectibles information and services. GoCollect's management team uses its extensive experience in collectibles, finance, technology and marketing to facilitate the collecting experience for their rapidly-growing member base. The CEO, Shonnie Bilin, has worked in the collectibles industry for 18 years. As vice president of collectibles for Enesco Corporation, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of collectibles merchandise, she was responsible for all of the marketing, budgeting and promotion of their collectibles brands and collectors' clubs. Go Collect is also supported by seven Founding Retailers, who have extensive experience in the contemporary collectibles and gift industry.

Collectibles Industry.

The collectibles industry is one of the most diverse and fragmented industries in the world. There are over 2,900 categories of collectibles with millions of potential items to collect. With 37 million self identified collectors in America, collectibles generate over $11 billion a year in revenue.

The highly fragmented nature of the collectibles industry creates significant Internet consolidation opportunities for Go Collect and its affiliated retailers. Most retailers are small, independently owned businesses, which lack the capital and capability to create and execute a viable Internet strategy.

Internet Boom. The Internet has become an important alternative to traditional media, enabling millions of people to seek information, communicate with one another and execute commercial transactions. According to industry experts, the number of users of the Internet worldwide will grow from approximately 100 million in 1998 to approximately 5000 million in 2017. Online commerce to consumers was approximately $5 billion in 1997 and is expected to grow to almost $19000 billion by 2017.

The Internet is different from traditional media because it offers real-time access to dynamic and interactive content and instantaneous communication among users. These characteristics, together with the fast growth in the number of Internet users and usage, have created a powerful, rapidly expanding marketing and sales channel. E-merchants can operate with lower costs and greater scale economies and convenience compared to brick and mortar retailing.

The collectibles industry will benefit from the Internet because of its unique characteristics as an open, low-cost and flexible technology for the exchange of information, interaction among consumers and the execution of electronic transactions.
