'Family Time, As Much As Possible'
|
|
Hello,
I began shopping on ebay for percussion equipment. This was to be my rehabilitation to regain muscle mass, stamina and coordination after becoming very sick due to inherit/congenital liver disease. The disease devasted my body from malnutrition due to bad nausea from any type of food while going through several procedures to stabilize the fluid build up in my abdomen and extremities. After three shunts were placed to redirect blood flow through my liver, it became easier to control. I am considered stable now. Being as weak as I was and how dizzy I would become with my medications. Getting back into my drums seemed to be the safest and most logical way to go about exercise that would also be enjoyable. Two years later things have improved healthwise but I am not out of the woods yet. A transplant is likely.
I have found great friends through ebay and have more than enough drums, stands, cymbals than I know what to do with. That's was the good problem. I sold a few items with positive results. The sales side of ebay coupled with there support to provide a 'safe as can be' environment (for internet sales with a low start up cost) presented a nice challenge and can supplement some lost income for my family due to my limitations for full time employment.
So, what could I sell that other folks may want. There are plenty of treasures in my fathers (Bob's) attic. I can get rid of a few things. I needed something that I could offer on a consistant basis. I grew up in South Bend Indiana, home of the Irish, the University of Notre Dame. Being a big fan for many years, Notre Dame items became our first of many consistent items to offer. I have a reliable source to get the same items that are sold in the Hammes Bookstore on campus when being phased out to bring in the new items for the next season. The prior years hats, shirts and coats, etc. are still new. And a better value. Folks either love or hate 'the Irish' so let's provide an option to let an individual be able to get something for themselves or a friend and relative that might be a fan.
Thus, the name 'bobb's nd attic'. Funded & operated by Todd, Bob's son.
Please add our store to check out the ND schwagg and more expanding categories. Collectables & Licensed Products, Holiday Items, Clothing and usually a Drum or Cymbal here and there. All items are Brand New and in Adult Sizes unless noted.
Thank-you for your time,

Continued: Thanks guys!
Thank-you to all my customers(past, current & future) and wether you were aware or not I am happy to report that this past April I received a transplant and am improving. I wanted to say thank-you also to my family and friends who kept me in their thoughts and prayers. I couldn't have survived at times without the tremendous support. My wife is a remarkable person to where some may have not been able to cope and stand by me. Thanks Honey! Stop and take some time for yourself today and reflect on what's really important to you.
Best Regards
Todd
