Using Ebay to find “Good Genealogy Stuff”

Have you considered using Ebay to find Genealogy records?  Ebay is essentially a great big online garage sale run like a silent auction.

I enter my genealogy search terms and Ebay emails me the listings that match.  For example below is my search of any items that match the term “Quebec Genealogy”.  As you can see there are some good gems in that list at reasonable prices.

Consider doing your own ebay searches.  It is free to register and to set up the searches.  The only time it will cost is if you decide to purchase any of those great garage sale items.
