Antique Roadshow.... What Got Me Here
I'm a native Pennsylvanian, having grown up in Carlisle & moved to Shermans Dale (a mere 10 miles away) when I got married 30+ years ago. I pride myself on being an honest, fun-loving, & highly dependable person. My husband & I enjoy riding our Harley on weekends or when any other time allows. We enjoy spending quality time with our family & extended families. Our last several vacations have consisted of traveling to as many lighthouses as time will allow us. I was a ‘stay-at-home Mom’ the whole time our kids were at home. Now as an ‘empty-nester’ I quickly found that caring for our houseful of pets (the ‘boys’ – a miniature dachshund and a Pomeranian, 3 cats, a freshwater aquarium & a fully stocked reef aquarium) I still had a lot of empty time on my hands. That is, until the day I discovered the inviting & continually growing world of eBay. My Dad is a huge Penn State follower & fan, being a season ticket holder to the football games for over 30 years.
Business InformationHistory/background
Dad & Mom have made it a tradition to attend many of the away games & various Bowl games at the end of the season and attending mens' & ladies' basketball games as well. And we often have attended games as a family. Dad & Mom have found that, over the years, they had transformed their home into a Joe Paterno/Penn State/Nittany Lion shrine! Upon retiring, they decided to begin down-sizing some of their collection. (Thus, the need for them to find someone to help them ease their load of some duplicate Penn State items.)
We've begun our joint eBay venture by auctioning many of his duplicate game day buttons he’s collected since the early 70’s. We quickly learned that the bank giveaways were highly collectible. And naturally, once my husband found that I could possibly be on the road to becoming a successful novice entrepreneur, he started finding more items for me to test the waters. So here I am, finding nearly NO time now to cook dinners, clean my house, do the gardening... Oh, WELL!!
