I am a teacher and a tinkerer. At heart, that's all I'll ever be. I love to see someone's eyes light up when they finally get a concept that I am trying to teach them. I have been unable to find a teaching position in over a year. Then a couple of friends of my wife's encouraged me to sell their inventory for them since they wanted out of the business and EBay created another Monster. I have been really enjoying buying and selling online. And at the same time cleaning out my wife's collection of books and audiotapes. It's going to take me months, no years to list them all. I may even throw in some of my electronics gadgets once in a while.
I have to admit that electronics is a hobby/passion of mine and would have been a first choice for a store if I would have just figured out how to sell what I'm good at. Our house is so automated that my wife keeps expecting me to install a voice activated component to turn on and off the lights. It would have a woman's voice like on Star Trek, of course! But she'd just get madder at me, so the X10 box will have to do.
So once I got all the lights automated, the water filtrated through 2 systems, several whole house air filtration systems installed (electrostatic and ultraviolet), I'm still looking for more things to do to the house. As I keep coming up with more and more ideas, my wife was so happy to see me come up with this new hobby. Not that I've stopped gadget shopping. I tinker with computers also, as in putting them together, now I need to learn HTML, Cherbear, HELP! That's what's great about Ebay, all the help you can find. Eventually you may even find some gadgets for sale on this site. I'm always looking for good ones that you might enjoy. I try them out on my wife first, of course. :-)
Good customer service is my motto. We love our customers and want to keep them happy. We also love to add samples to the packages. and coming back for more. My wife and granddaughter, who is the 8 in angel_deals8, as in 8 years old, love to put together the sample bags for me. So never feel bad about asking me for special selections, they love helping to choose what to put in the bags.
