WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 26 -- Do you need to get an appraisal for precious family heirlooms or find a dealer or collector who wants to buy your old radio? The new 7th edition of Maloney's Antiques & Collectible Resource Directory, authored by David Maloney, certified appraiser and chief appraisal officer for Paid, Inc. (formerly Sales OnLine Direct) (OTC Bulletin Board: PAYDV - News), has the most current listings for thousands of appraisers, dealers, experts, auctioneers, repair specialists and other resources in thousands of categories of antiques and collectibles. The 7th edition, published by Krause Publications, is now available in major bookstores and online.

Maloney's Directory, often considered the 'bible' of the antiques and collectibles industry, is the unrivaled source for information to aid in the authentication and valuation of antiques and collectibles, or to help with the successful resolution of a loss or damage claim. Covering more than 3,200 categories of antiques, collectibles and other types of personal property, this massive collection of more than 20,000 dealers, collectors, clubs and specialized periodicals offers an unparalleled source of expertise.

Since its debut, Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory has been hailed as the "...best one-volume research tool in print." (Gannett News Service) and as a Best Reference Book (Library Journal.) In print for 14 years, this unique and comprehensive all-in-one information source has proven itself as the only complete resource for hard-to-find information about antiques, collectibles, art and other categories of personal property. More than 250,000 copies of Maloney's Directory are in circulation, with many available in the resource sections of libraries.

"The Directory is an invaluable resource for professionals in the antiques and collectibles industries, as well as for estate liquidators, moving companies, attorneys, claims adjusters and many others," said David Maloney. "The new edition features more categories, cross references, email addresses and web sites than ever before to make it easier and faster for users to find the resources they are seeking. We're continually updating and refining the publication to ensure it remains the most comprehensive and user-friendly antiques and collectibles resource directory available."

"Often when people realize that their collectible items are valuable and/or of interest to others, they are at a loss as to how to set a price or find a buyer (should they choose to sell) or to locate information to learn more about their collectible," Maloney remarked. "The goal of Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory is to place as much information as possible at the user's fingertips to allow him or her to make decisions based on knowledge and fact. Veteran dealers and collectors are well aware that knowledge and information are the keys to success in the world of antiques and collectibles."

Harry Rinker, noted author, columnist, lecturer on antiques and collectibles, and host of Home & Garden Television's (HGTV) Collector Inspector, a weekly show devoted to seeking out antiques and collectibles in private homes, said, "David Maloney has created a directory with the answers. His Resource Directory is a reference source that anyone associated with the field simply has to own."
