My name is Henry Deguara-Pagan and I have been
an eBay member since April 1999 and selling
on eBay full time since 2004 under the name Toysheik. I sell primarily
action figures and toy collectibles from various time periods out of my
distribution point in New Jersey, U.S.A. while currently living in Brooklyn,
NY.
I always used to think how positive it would be to go into business for myself and
determine my own future.
A few years ago I read a book called 'A Guide to Being a Good Citizen'.
I picked it up because of all the cool retro art in it but after reading it
thoroughly, I thought to myself why can't I work in a place where
people live and work by values similar to the ones outlined in this book.
Soon afterwards I read eBay’s community and values I realized I
had to leave my current job and go into business for myself. I opened an
eBay store and soon I realized I would never go back to my old job again.
The values are simple:
We believe people are basically good.
We believe everyone has something to contribute.
We believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in
people.
We recognize and respect everyone as a unique individual.
We encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated.
Deciding to sell action figures was no gamble or well
thought-out strategy. I simply took an old passion and hobby and turned it
into a business.
As a collector I loved the fact that I could reconnect
with my youth by collecting Star Wars memorabilia. In the early 90’s, I
started trading and selling at trade shows and conventions and then on my
own website. I'm often asked for advice about what to sell and my answer is
always the same -- sell what you know and what you enjoy. Sell anything and
everything related to your passion including any services you may be skilled
at related to that passion.
At Toysheik, I pride myself in being an honest seller
and offering great merchandise at great prices. I find it extremely
enjoyable to be able to reconnect people to something from the past or
occasionally making someone’s birthday or holiday a little extra special.
I use eBay as a way of community building and
conducting business honestly worldwide.
I'm constantly expanding on my lines and adding new
ones. With an eBay store, I am able to reach out to audiences I was never
able reach before on my own.
The best part of my job is I enjoy it and occasionally
take the toys out of their package and play.
All the best,
Henry Deguara-Pagan
