A COMMENT FROM OUR FOUNDER:
Hello and welcome to my little space on eBay.  Being here I am guessing you want to know a little more about me. 

I have been collecting things since I was five years old.  My earliest loves were stickers, toy rings, Peanuts items (Snoopy) and Disney (Mickey Mouse) and grew to Hot Wheels (when they appeared), trains, and then onto stamps and coins as a teen, and then football cards as an adult.  The only problem is...I NEVER stopped collecting the earlier stuff!!! 

I started my first business when I was 10 years old and I got the business bug.  With my father's access to a grocer wholesaler, I began buying gum for low and selling for double.  I was selling gum balls for ten cents each and making $8 a day profit.  $40 a week is not bad for a sixth grader!!!

I spent high school years and just after wheeling and dealing antiques and other collectibles.  If I had a dollar for every auction I have attended in the last twenty years, I would be a rich man.

In college at General Motors Institute I combined my education and my love of making the deal to start American Broker Group.  All this while working as an Industrial Engineer.   I learned from the great marketer Andy Powell and I quickly learned to always re-invest some of my revenue into my business.  My problem was, I invested 100% of my revenue from in the 1980-90's and amassed half-a-million in collectible inventory.

I graduated college and started making good (really good) money and expanded my company to a foreign interest of Lotrina Broker Group.  Now I had became a legit asset broker dealing in jewelry throughout the world. 

Since the 1990's I became known as the guy who bought it all.  I have a knack of going to a location and making a deal for EVERYTHING inside an old building or warehouse.  I stopped in 1999 doing eBay and began my new career as a pro photographer.  Been doing that the last 8 years and NOW I am back on eBay to get rid of some of my cool "junk".  (Other's "junk" has often been my treasure).  I maintained my warehouse outside of Columbus for 8 years at my own expense.

In 2007 I married the love of my life and she is the greatest!!! 

I have also been buying out some last places I know so other dealers...beware!!! ;)

Checkout our auctions and our store and see a portion of my 2,000+ different items.

WINTER 2009
In the Fall of 2008 we began buying-out Hippie items and listing those for buyers.  We have spent the Winter getting organized to open and sell tons of new old stuff!  The end of 2008 proved to be the biggest EVER!!!  2009 has begun with a rush of buyers.  We have NEVER been more proud to be Americans!  Greatest luck to President Obama!!!  

Summer 2008
Well, we have spent most of the summer acquiring and organizing.  Acquiring close to $500,000 in additional old stock from circus and toy warehouses in the East and the South.  2009 plans to be even bigger as we are about to Buy-Out a location in the West.  August 2008 has been our BIGGEST selling month EVER as we have sold THOUSANDS of old toys to Europe and the U.S.  Since last August we have organized close to 50,000 of our Cracker Jack items!  Some group lots soon!  Check back often!!!

August, 2007: Well my move is completed and my wife and I are happily residing in a house built in 1895.  The house has tons of history and with 5,000+ sq. ft. there is plenty of room for my collection of over a million items. 
Some highlights coming this month is over 160 additional vintage items.  I am also trying to figure out how to list close to 50,000 old documents from 1830-1890.  Most business or banking.  Some cool history.

June, 2007:  Even while prepping to move I was able to acquire over 8,000+ items from the New England states, Northern Ohio, and here in Columbus. 

May, 2007: About to run 60+ new auction and store items.  All original old novelty stock.  In June it appears I may be moving into my new office here in Columbus.  Although not open to the public, I will be preparing to have close to 500 different novelty products in July when I come back to eBay.  I will be spending June moving and prepping to grow bigger to server you!!!

April, 2007; I added over 50+ new old stock into my inventory.

March, 2007: Just made three deals and picked-up 13,000 or so old toys.  One in an undisclosed location in Ohio, another in Northern Ohio, and finally one in New York (a cool lady).  Ever been to Cleveland?  Holy cow.  There are buildings sitting on the water boarded up and full of old stuff!  Close to $86,000 in book value!!!  Troll stuff, PacMan stuff, more and more toy rings, some Disney, some circus stuff and some very cool Mini Viewmaster Toy Cameras!!!
