Antique Building Materials – Suggestions?


My Name is Timothy, and I recently started a website dedicated to selling Antique Building Materials. Beams, Doors, Flooring, ect.. Even some stuff from France, Cobblestones, Fountains ect… I’m still setting up the site, and hope to be selling Antique products On the site very soon. A lot of the stuff is speciality items that can’t be shopping carted.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what’s the best way to set up this site, payment system, shipping, ect…..?

I built my website with 1&1. They are a big website/hosting outfit. (I'm still a novice with computers) But they have services that can set you up with all of that. I've been happy with them.

By the way, what's the link to your website? I'm interested. If CT won't let you post it, PM it to me.

I suggest lots of pictures.You will have to catalog your items kind of like ebay.

You know-search by category or item. It'll be a lot of work to keep up but should be successful.
