Busybeas Books and Ads
Hi
My name is Brian Bea and I'm in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I'm married (on Oct 7 2006), and have 2 step-sons, 4 cats, a rabbit and a tank full of fish.
I've always been a do-it-yourself kind of person and strongly believe that, given the proper information, anyone can do just about anything they set their mind too. Getting the proper info is the trick. It is amazing how much of this how-to info has been lost due to the passing of time and changes in technology. I love reading old books and magazines from before the 1960s or so. These books and magazines showed you how to do things, not just what to buy. I love the old Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and similar magazines.

My store has many (a bit under 2000 as of June 2007) advertsing pages, Old cars, airplanes, railways, cruise ship lines, cameras and collectables etc etc are covered.
I also carry hundreds of books, almost all are older non-fiction. You will find many older how-to books and crafts and hobby books.
There are many other items too; I buy what looks interesting to me. If I had the space I'd probably keep it all and have a really-big auction sale when it's time to go. What I do now is list (at auction, 7 days) the new goodies as I get them. What doesn't sell goes into my store. If they don't sell in 6 months or so then they head off to the Goodwill store.
Why are many photos in my store sideways? The answer is that back when I started listing, the photos in eBay were a fixed rectangular size, with the largest length sideways. If I rotated the photo, it shrinks so the longer side is now the shorter up-and-down length. In other words, it makes the overall picture the same size but the image (of the item) inside is smaller. I left them sideways so the actuall image is as big as possible. Turning the camera (or the item) when taking the photo will have the same effect, a smaller image. Now though, that is no longer true. Newer listings have the 'right-way' photos. I've been (very slowly) revising the old listings to change this.
