That's me, The Cell Guy, front and center with my K-State shirt on. I found a love for E-Bay several years ago when I could find anything and everything K-State! After spending a lot of time (and money!) on all the cool KSU memorabilia that we use to decorate our game room, I decided it was time for me to start selling. I recently opened my own E-Bay store, "The Cell Guy".
You ask how I became "The Cell Guy"? Well, 11 years ago, my Dad and I started a business together. My Dad was a computer expert and I was into cellular phones. Together, we sold cellular phones and service, computers and computer repair service. I have always enjoyed keeping up on the latest cellular technology, but even more than that I enjoy all the accessories that are available to outfit your phone with. The more our business grew, the more family I needed to help me. My mom came to work for us and then several years into the business I met my wife and she came to work for us as well. With the internet business booming the way it is, I decided it was time to close down the retail store front and focus our energies to the internet.
Also in the pictures you see my Wife Kelsey, my seven year old Jadyn, and my baby Jordyn. Well, when the baby came along, I decided it was time to see if I could get Kelsey as intrigued with E-Bay as what I am so that maybe she could stay home. With a little convincing, we decided to make it a family affair. We work our E-Bay business from home, and so Kelsey takes care of our messages, shipping, and does as much listing as time allows while I wholesale to multiple wireless agents across the state of Kansas and work our E-Bay business in the evenings doing listings and helping out wherever I can. Jadyn loves coming home after school to help her with shipping. She can never decide her favorite part of E-Bay. She is learning how to weigh packages and print labels and really enjoys that. However, she is a lefty and also enjoys the challenge of cutting out the labels and making them "look nice" on the box! Like Kelsey and I, she also loves to count the boxes at the end of the day and help load them on the dock at the post office. Jordyn only thinks she is helping! She likes to sit on my lap in the evenings and "help type". So if you ever find a listing that has random letters or sentences that don't quite make sense, there is a good chance Jordyn was helping out!
As you can see from our pictures, we bleed purple! In our spare time, we love going to K-State football games, and are trying to get in a few basketball games as well. We quickly learned that taking a weekend off meant a lot of work getting caught up on Mondays as E-Bay never takes the weekend off! We're lucky enough to live close to my mom, and so she is also learning E-Bay and helps us with shipping when we get the opportunity to have a weekend away.
Because we are a new store, we don't have near as much listed as what we have in stock or can get. If you are ever looking for something specific, don't hesitate to send us a message or give me a call and there is a good chance I can get it for you. You can catch me on my cell phone at (620) 802-1211. Thanks for visiting our store!
