This is NATIE. Our Bichon Frise. He loves everyone! He HAS just the attitude he portrays; he was ready to scoot off...after we snapped the picture!
Greetings Fellow eBayers!!
Thanks for all the wonderful customers and friends we've gained while using eBay starting in 1996!!
OUR STORY stevescollectibles.com began when a friend asked me to try and sell a couple of toys for him. Thanks
David! He knew I had just started 'playing' and 'surfing' on the new Information Highway...Remember that OLD name we never hear anymore? So, I tried it and the rest is history. I had such fun searching for buyers that I started spending too much time out of my family and home life on the side or
'along with' my engineering career.
There was only one thing to do; The engineering career had to go! I had to keep my family happy, right?
When I could show a 'living' amongst my playing, I could do it full time. Engineering wasn't fun like selling 'cool stuff' on the web. Gotta reduce stress. true? Anybody knows that!
So I played for just under a year and a half (30 or 40 hours a week!) Then in August 1997, I gave my notice at
work. Whatcha gonna do?..they said; I said sell way cool stuff on the Internet! What looks I got! But I don't care 'cause I like making people happy by helping them find a piece of their childhood!
In 2002, I decided to grab some more structure and went back to my Civil Engineering career with Health Insurance skyrocketing etc. and I do need that 401K. But, I'm still having a ball in my spare time searching out that great children's book you had as a child or the vase you just loved. We've added tremendously to our website selection and gotten affiliated with some great companies with super items in many areas. Still fun and a Nostalgic experience for me...

Look around our site at www.stevescollectibles.net and see if you can find some of yours!
We're ONLY on the web. My friends have helped me a long the way. I'm the collector and gatherer of stuff, buyers and information.
Our 17 pound Bichon Frise Natie is always a pleasure to be around and helped me decide to create a pretty good focus on Dog Collectibles and Gifts for our website as I love Pooches very much. Not to mention the hundreds of 'friends' who write e-mail to remind me to find the Superman ring they had when they were 8 years old in 1957!
We keep a huge want list database for our customers. If we don't have it now, we may stumble upon it in the future. We clean estates and never know what might turn up. Or if you collect, say, Leave it to Beaver...let us know your topic. So drop us a line at: info@stevescollectibles.com
