We have generations of family memorabilia and I also purchase items to resell. I consider myself a general reseller, but I’ve been a collector my entire life, so my knowledge of comic books, matchbooks, glassware, sheet music, collectable card games, board games, postcards, beer cans, musical instruments, and Pez dispensers means those things will show up more frequently.
I started selling on eBay in 1998. The first things I sold were Magic the Gathering cards, postcards, elegant glassware, and odds and ends, but until recently, it was only a hobby. In the early 2000s I somehow lost access to that first account.
My wife and I opened this store in 2010 as a way to make some headway toward cleaning out our generations of accumulated stuff and things. Our families (mine in particular) had been collecting things since the late 19th century.
