This is a file with many parts. Only those fields you enter information in will be included. When you are complete click SUBMIT. You can return at any time to complete or refresh this information. It's an evergreen file. This information will be linked to each of your listings.

Now you need to provide us with a copy of your listings. From whatever source you use prepare a copy. Many dealers keep a current copy on their desktop. Now log-in to AE. The first screen that comes up is your Premium Services Home Page [there is always a link in the Sign-in Box while you are signed to reposition you to your home page]. The first link in the text opens an upload link. Click on the BROWSE button, locate your file of listings. Highlight the file and it will appear in the Catalogue window. Then click upload.

The time to upload will depend on your connection. Our servers are very fast but large files may take a few minutes. The first time it will take about twelve hours before your files first appear.

Options to revise, delete, report.

You can both create and edit any records you maintain in BFS right from the Web Catalogue module. When we integrated your material we placed your files there for easy editing. Web Catalogue is a link in the paid services menu. You can also batch modify your records whenever you wish using outside services. We'll simply integrate the changes you provide.

This service is only a few days old. It's essentially a free service to premium members and available to research members for a small premium. There are no listing fees and we do not anticipate there will be. We hope our dealer members will find customers and our collector-members the material they want. We hope you both will use the database extensively for your research and evaluation and if, in time the market becomes more efficient, buyers more enthused and sellers more prosperous it will be achieving every goal we set out to accomplish with it.
