eBay My World: jwbirr( 479)

Now 67yrs, I spent 35y in retail grocery 25 of these as a Company Sales Representative. I now buy on eBay to sell at markets,as a hobby, as I missed the company of many people around me, Also make & sell woodwork items, (ANTIQUES-Made while you wait

I best describe this section as 'you name it, I sell it'(Except for clothing/Footwear). At least I give it a go, then if no good, get rid of it. Latest addition to my market range, is Musical Instruments, which certainly draw attention to my stall. People are not used to seeing these sort of items on a 'Market Stall' Guitars/mandolins/violins/trumpets/Trombones/Harmonicas/Amps. Also accessories such as strings/picks/tuners/shoulder straps/gig-bags. I get a lot of purely curious, but sales have been great. I proudly display my motto.I BUY CHEAP....so....I SELL CHEAP

Friends. I love meeting people from all walks of life and I have always been able to make friends easily. I don't know why, except that I try to be honest with everybody, as well as having a bright & cheery personality with others, even if I am feeling a bit 'down' myself and if I say I will do something, I will go out of my way to do it. The way I see it...'EXCUSES ARE FOR LOSERS'....
