eBay My World: tornado-lynn( 2266)

My first book The A-Z Guide To Collecting Trivets is available for sale on eBay. I am writing my second trivet book. eBay is a great place to buy, sell, learn about your collectible, and make friends with people who have the same interests.

During the 1980's, I inherited a couple of trivets (a three-legged stand with short feet for use under a hot dish) from my grandmother. I thought the designs were charming, but there were too few to create a display. Searching for more at flea markets eventually evolved into a passion. But the catalyst for my collection was when a co-worker introduced me to eBay in 2001. Since then I've bought over 1500 trivets, keeping around 400 in my permanent collection and selling the rest ... all here on eBay! My collection includes antique and contemporary metal trivets as well as those made of wood, tile or porcelain. I also collect sterling souvenir spoons, antique fraternal medals and out-of-print collectible reference books & magazines.
