Hi! Welcome to my "about me" page!
I am a mom of two young children and although I've been a buyer on Ebay for a long time, I didn't start selling until the end of 2008. It started with clothes and baby items, believe it or not. I bought for my kids, then my nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, neighbors and it grew from there. At some point I realized I had WAY too much (it says closet - but it's a lot bigger then that!) to keep shopping (both stuff and huge credit card bills!).
So I decided to try selling on Ebay - starting with diaper bags and other baby items. Then two of my other passions developed and became the focus of my Ebay selling. Handbags and bedding. Not sure why - but a new handbag with that wonderful leather smell and great texture - just makes you feel great! And bedding - I LOVE so many of the patterns, textures, materials, colors, patterns... and because size is standard (compared to clothes) these seemed a lot easier to sell online.
Part of the problem, however, is that I LOVE shopping more than selling... and sometimes even though I know I need to reduce inventory, I'm almost sad to see them go! To get over that I turned this hobby into a business - at least I could justify the expenses! I'm not a wholesaler or distributor. I buy all my stuff at various stores mostly in my metropolitan area. I frequent a lot of these stores to get the great stuff - sometimes while it's being put out! Due to my purchasing... my sales prices may be inconsistent depending on the deal that I got. Although some of my auctions took loses, I am in business to cover my costs and fees and get a little extra to shop some more! Most of my items are returnable to my suppliers (stores) so that's always a better option than losing money!
While I still have a TON of clothing, etc (over 1,000) pieces, I have found various ways to sell them (mostly through friends) outside of Ebay. The Ebay structure just didn't work well for these - although I do throw some out there on occasion...
I am a regular person and I think you’ll find that I’m easy to work with. I love the items I sell – but there is always the chance that I missed something – please le me know and I will always work with you to your satisfaction! My goal is to find “good homes” for my items and make a little money – but never to fool or trick anyone into buying something or paying too much.
I hope you enjoy looking at and buying my items as much as I love buying them! Please contact me for anything you may need or any suggestions you may have – thank you!!
