A bit About Cliff:

Cliff Aliperti of "things-and-other-stuff" has been involved with vintage collectibles for most of his life.  It started with collecting baseball cards,  graduated to live auctions and eventually became a full-time baseball card business.

In April of 2004 he went full time on eBay when he found it out-earned his "real job" - and at the peak, his eBay store had nearly 10,000 items listed.   Over the years Cliff has had shops on Auctionworks, Marketworks, Wagglepop, Channel Advisor, Ruby Lane, and at TIAS.  He has test-driven just about every shopping cart out there - and is still considering various other carts.

In August of 2008 Cliff became one of the first 600 members to sign up for Bonanzle... and continues to be amazed at its rapid-fire growth and acceptance in the marketplace.  With the help of iBusinessLogic Cliff has opened one of the first Bonanzle-based stores - VintageMeld.com.

Cliff is a true professional, loves what he does, and has a true passion for a number of varied vintage collectibles.  Over the years he has collected comics, stamps, modern first editions, magazine back-issues, sports collectibles, oddball movie items and coins.  He craves information and that, combined with his love of sports, history and literature, makes him a proud trailblazer in the area of niche collectibles.

Recently Cliff was a guest at Walt Kolenda's "Auction Wally Show" where he spoke of his vintage business and his new found love for the Bonanzle marketplace.  He is a valued member here at TBN (The Bonanzle Network) and at AVCOSA - The Vintage Collectibles Online Sellers Association and a very approachable guy.  If you have a question on almost any type of collectible... and certainly in the areas mentioned above... Cliff is the guy to go-to.  He'll go out of his way to help you better understand the items, the market or the marketplace.
