Our namesake Harry Allen was a true
world wide trader in the early 1900's, way before the Internet. He
was responsible for bringing the Taxi Meter from England to
New York. Now his grandson Bob takes over that pioneering tradition
in Cyberspace.Prior to the development
of the Internet, in the traditional Brick and Mortar
era of the 20th Century, Bob was a seasoned sale
professional in the Automotive Aftermarket and the
Furniture Industries.
Getting a taste of the
eCommerce marketplace at it's inception in the early
90's, we started out locally by
offering local golf clubs a free website in exchange
for the email addresses of their members.
Many of those initial members are still friends and
golfing buddies.
The business expanded from there
to a joint venture with the local newspaper website,
exchanging "green fee" certificates for advertising,
and then holding a monthly online
auction that brought our local online community even
closer. The thrill of the auction got into our
blood.
Developing a
local source for used golf balls, we started selling used golf balls
on eBay in 2002. Those early years were truly
exciting even to seasoned professionals. Then came
Marilyn. The rest is the story in the making. The
organization has grown over the years..
- We have become
the largest seller of Marilyn Merlot Wines
on eBay..
- We have created a Consignment Program
for fellow eBay Members to help sell their wines on eBay.
- We maintain a
Marilyn Blog and encourage new collectors to visit
and see what this fuss is about.
With roots in the
Marilyn Monroe collectible wine category,
we are proud to announce the signing of exclusive
licensing agreements with the top three
photographers of Marilyn Monroe. These licenses will
enable us to create our My Marilyn
Collection.com line of products, which will
feature the three most renowned pictures of Marilyn
portrayed in different art mediums.
The present plan is
to introduce
in
a series of Acrylic Sculptures,
Fine Art, and Chocolate
from the images of these three famous artists.
