Q: In trying to find items not in the Archives collection, do you have someone that scans eBay for items you might need that have been lost? If so, is it “buy it at any cost” to acquire it? If so, how frequently are items purchased off eBay or antique stores annually to have in the Archives?

A: The Archives staff does not regularly scan eBay for interesting Disney items, but occasionally some are brought to our attention. The Archives actually purchases very little for its collection.
