Vintage eBay Guru: Selling on Ebay

Selling on eBay is a joyful endeavor and one that brings about rewarding experience after rewarding experience. You get to be your own boss, make your own decisions and use your time as you see fit. No one owns your time. You play every role and develop amazing skills that make your life better and easier, over and over. But my journey to this business is a very strange tale...

I started my first small eBay reselling shop back in 2003 at Colgate University where I was studying for my undergrad degree in Music and Philosophy. That shop was shuttered to pursue the glamour of the financial world and I became a Financial Consultant, which meant I ended up cold calling and generally hating my life. So I moved to Boston to join more financial firms likes State Street and Panagora Asset Management, but once the financial crisis of 2008 started to crumble the banking world, I was quickly laid off with almost 35% of the firm, being the newest employee, this was not a surprise. But what did surprise me was that I realized I never wanted to work for anyone ever again. No matter what.

I wandered and I wandered. I tried a million get rich quick schemes, all of them, seriously. They are actually fun for the mind and great teaching tools, but they suck if you need money quickly. I soon realized that a pleasant slow grind with many interesting opportunities is the way to really make your life amazing and make money.

Selling on eBay provided that outlet. In the eBay market you can sell anything and everything and find just about anything and everything. If you have a curious mind and a business itch, there is nothing like spending $3 on a strange figurine only to do a bit of research and find you are holding a $300 ceramic cat. You will sit there for a moment, your jaw slightly slack, and become hooked.

So here I am, with multiple shops in multiple niches making money and growing a vintage empire. I want to help you grow yours. Check out more on how I Sell on eBay, the tricks I use, the tools I have found, and the techniques I use to utilize my time more wisely.
