PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 09, 2010 – VBMShops.com announces the grand re-opening of Vintage Gems Emporium at www.VintageGemsEmporium.com. Vintage Gems Emporium is one of thirteen specialty shop boutiques to be opened as part of VBMShops at www.VBMShops.com the premier and exclusive online “street of shops”. Vintage Gems Emporium is looking for specialty boutique sellers and buyers of antique, vintage and new fine and costume jewelry.

Registration is free and easy… so sign up today to begin a unique journey in online buying and selling never before experienced on the internet. Forget the “brick & mortar” retail outlets and instead join an exclusive 24/7 international retail setting geared to needs of those looking to buy and sell one of a kind jewelry in a boutique environment reflective of the merchandise and meeting the expectations of the buyer.    

At Vintage Gems Emporium one can find Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro, Op Art, Punk, Goth and more fine and costume jewelry eras and periods. Every type of jewelry item can be found for any occasion for women, men and children.

Vintage Gems Emporium is located on the “Collector’s” Street of Shops at VBMShops.com. This street has other neighborhood shops that the jewelry collector may find interesting and include Just 4 Collectibles (www.Just4Collectibles.com) , Arts Antiques Galleria (www.ArtsAntiquesGalleria.com , Vintage Closet Finds (www.VintageClosetFinds.com) and Vintage Sports Fanatics (www.VintageSportsFanatics.com) .  Each of the shops in the “Collectors” neighborhood appeals to a particular buyer and seller who love hard to find items that have history and provenance in an avant-garde environment. VBMShops currently has five (5) neighborhoods that contain thirteen boutiques and will be adding many more boutiques onto each “Street of Shops” over the coming months.

Sellers are needed for all of VBMShops boutiques and will find the listing process to be quick, simple and easy on the pocketbook with a fee structure that is extremely attractive—any simple auction listing to sell for under $20.00 (with no extras) will cost $.30 and the great thing is that there are no final valuation fees on any auction selling for less than $100.00. So compared to other online auction or fixed price sites, VBMShops will be the low cost leader.

VBMShops  has a distinct philosophical strategy and includes:

•   Being the only online auction and fixed price boutique venue for antique, vintage and newer merchandise in environments that reflect the character and quality of the merchandise.

•   Being the least costly online marketplace for sellers, having low listing, no final valuation fees on anything selling for less than $100.00 and the lowest FVF on the web for sales over $100.00, plus lots of free extras.

•   Providing fair and equal treatment of both sellers and buyers, and  

•   Providing all non-profit organizations (501(c)(3) organizations) a place to list an unlimited number of auctions at absolutely no cost, FOREVER.

About the Author

Candace Daugherty is from Charleston, SC and grew up the daughter of antique dealers. She has a BS degree in Interior Architecture and an MBA in Marketing and has an international reputation for her retail designs and marketing expertise.  Candace has bought and sold online for over 14 years and has seen the need to successfully create market segmentation online as it is in the “brick and mortar” marketplace.

Candace started the development for the concept of Virtual Boutique Mall Shops (www.VBMShops.com) in June 2008. After many permutations and the desire to make VBMShops the greatest place to buy and sell online, we have come up what we believe to be a great first step in getting this idea off the ground. We will constantly be changing, revising and improving our sites to meet the needs of our sellers and buyers and to create something more than a typical retail outlet. Our hope is to provide VBMShops users with a social network for sharing with other like-minded users, their ideas, issues and thoughts about the items you love to use or collect.      

Candace and all at VBMShops hope that you will find our “Neighborhood Streets of Shops”, fun and exciting and will enjoy being a part of the next wave in retailing.
