I'd like to use my Second Hand Sale site as a place to give more thorough descriptions and background information about what I have managed to collect over time.  I also think it is important for buyers to get a feel for who they are dealing with when they buy online.  Of course, I invite you to check out my feedback on eBay, but I also invite you to post any questions you might have as well.

If I had the room, I could probably set up a "vintage museum" that would be pretty interesting.  I really do enjoy examining all of the old stuff I find.  Of course not all of it is all that old.  Some things I pick up just because I think maybe I can make a few dollars for my trouble of doing the leg work for a collector out there.  But, in general, I think I find a lot of really neat old stuff.

When I first started selling on eBay, I sold only things that I already owned.  Once I got bitten by the selling bug, I started buying tons of stuff without really researching things too much.  As you might expect, I ended up with quite a bit of what was not much more than old junk.  I ended up just giving that stuff away or discarding it if I couldn't use it myself.  There was a learning curve involved, but I think I've got a much better feel now for what interests buyers on eBay while still holding my own interest.

Honestly, who wants to go out week after week, driving all over the place if you don't get some kind of enjoyment out of it?  When I go to estate sales, I think I sometimes see people who this applies to.  They rush through the sales, grumbling all the way about the "junk" and muttering about how there must have been a presale because they can't find what they want!  Selling on eBay has never paid me well enough that I'd want to give up so much time just to be miserable while I did it.  I actually enjoy "the hunt" for interesting stuff.  If you ever see me at a sale, I'll be the one browsing slowly and looking closely at the old boxes that other people are rushing by to get to the "well known" collectibles.  You might even see me off in the corner reading an old magazine from the 1920's.  I enjoy that.  I'm just weird like that I guess.

I hope you find some things you like here because as much as I enjoy finding this stuff, I just have way too much of it right now.  I want my family to be able to use the game room again.

Thanks for visiting!
