I wrapped up my first sale in the re-opened attic this morning.
A 1980's Barbie Gym no less!
It'll go to the Post Office later today.
Wrapping it was a first small step in the latest chapter as an Ebay seller, which began all those years ago in the year 2000, when Ebay started up in the UK [five years after the USA I think?]
Back in 2000 we lived in a different house, where I had an even bigger room to play with, an entire cellar, which I'd turned into an 'old toy shop' in the early 1990's. It was definately a fun hobby.
All before Ebay existed, back then I supplied toy fans with stuff via mail order and also personal customers who visited on the weekend by appointment. All great fun after a boring week at work! I was called Moon Zero Toys. I even took it on the road and had a stall at toy fairs!
Maybe I sold to you!
Have you done much selling readers?
Every journey begins with a single step... may your journey be long and prosperous Woodsy!
ReplyDeleteHave I sold much? Not anywhere near enough. 20 years of accumulation!
Thanks Arto. I can report it's going well so far. Just sold Ker Plunk!
DeleteMoon Zero Toys! Classic! Maybe you should come up with a cool new handle for your new Venture??? I sold so much stuff on ebay from 2000-2020, toys, videos, books, 8mm films, good gosh, so much stuff. Those days are gone, but they were fun.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I'm keeping below the radar Zigg using my wife's eBay account. I used to take it so seriously as Mad About Monsters, with an eBay shop
Delete( with a dear monthly fee!) And power seller status! I'll post the logo prototypes I sketched when I find them.
Which videos did you sell Zigg?
