The Collector Dude!
I'm a lover of stuff. I like to find it, buy it, sell it, learn about it, educate about it. I want to know where it came from, how it got there, who made it, what's it's history. I want to remember how it affected my life as I was growing up and I want to know how the old stuff affected everyone else's life.
I've been collecting for over 40 years. From hot wheels to hockey cards, antiques to Christmas decorations, old cars to coins, furniture to books. I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot. I've been an ebayer since 1997. I found an old Pflueger fishing reel in a workshop in a home we had just purchased and I didn't fish. I had heard about this new auction site, Ebay; so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't own a digital camera so I just described it the best I could and threw it out there. Well, 32 bids later someone bought my old reel for $57! It was like found money. I was hooked. I've sold literally hundreds of items from pennies to over $16,000 each. I spend time at garage sales, flea markets, on-line and one of my favourites; auctions! I go to 3 a week and get every major auction house in North America sending me their catalogue every week. It's like Christmas when I get to go through each item.
I hope to be able to have some fun, impart some knowledge and answer a few questions. Hope you come and play
