Just Glass, a niche online auction site, is celebrating its 7,000th member in four years and now the top information portal for glass enthusiasts.

"We realized early on to keep customers coming back, we needed to be more than just another place to buy and sell," said Reyne Haines, co-owner and founder. "The most important thing we offer our members is an education about the glass they collect so they can avoid reproductions on the market today," continued Haines.

In addition to auction and classified listings, the site also offers a comprehensive show calendar, book reviews, monthly online magazine, price guide, and resource page. By partnering with other sites such as Collector Online, TIAS, The Collecting Channel and most recently, Trocadero.com, Just Glass offers the largest array of Antique and Collectible glass for sale on the Internet.

In 2002, Just Glass will expand from the virtual world into reality with the exhibition entitled "Glass - Collecting in Ohio: 1850 to present". This exhibit of glass from Ohio manufacturers will highlight the private collections of several Just Glass members. Working with a Midwest museum, the exhibition is scheduled to open in Fall of 2002. http://www.justglass.com
