Hello world! I am excited to be launching a new adventure into the vast online marketplace, together with some of my family and friends. Did you know that on eBay alone, over 100 million items are available worldwide, and over 6.4 million items are added every day? A digital camera sells every minute, and a forklift sells every 4 hours. Talk about a vast array of items! Our idea is to capture a bit of that action for the benefit of charities that serve the poor. I started out thinking I would just get rid of my own excessive stuff, and donate the money to charity. But the more I learned about online selling, the more convinced I became that we could develop a Win-Win-Win situation, which doesn’t occur all that often in life.
- The people selling their stuff win because they get rid of excess stuff in their homes and begin to enjoy a simpler life.
- The buyers of our stuff win because they are getting good deals on stuff they need or want.
- And best of all, others in our community and around the world win, who have very little or no stuff at all.
I also want to take a moment here to thank my sister, Diane Hahn, who has put countless hours into the development of this website. If you every need a great web designer, give her a shout at dhahn12@gmail.com! I have also received wonderful advice from my new “pen/email pal,” Claude Dohrn, who’s book, eBay Consignment Selling & Drop Off Stores, provided me with enlightened advice on the mechanics of online selling. His book is available on Amazon.com for anyone out there thinking about going into this business.
Stay tuned for more to come soon! Feedback of any sort is welcomed and encouraged!
