Hello everyone! I've been an educator for the past 38 years, now retired. One of my favorite hobbies is buying and selling collectibles on line (most of the selling consists of my own stuff, of which I have WAY too much!) which up until a few years ago I did on another site. It used to be fun, but as most of us know, the other site found ways to change all of that. After the last fee increase, I gave up and tried to sell off most of my excess stuff at auction (not much luck there...I usually bought more than I sold).
Although I'm just starting out with my Addoway store, I've been on Bonanza for a little over two years now, and before that on eBay. Check my feedback and you'll find over 170 ratings, all positive. I guarantee you'll be happy with your purchase, or your money will be cheerfully refunded! Thanks for taking the time to read this!

It wasn’t all that long ago it would have taken a team of wild horses to get me to go to an auction. Even though I had never been, for some reason I had the idea that I would be bored to tears, and that anything I might win would be nothing more than someone else’s junk. Now granted, all of that is a distinct possibility, but overall, I had no idea what I was missing! ...

I think sometimes we have a tendency to complain too much. At least, I know I do. Whether it's slow sales, grumpy customers, or grumpy spouses, we sometimes get caught up in our own problems and forget about the folks around us who have it worse than we do. A good example of this happened to me over the last 2 weeks. As you probably know, the East Coast was visited by a category 1 hurricane a couple of weeks back. We're not really use to this type of weather in the Northeast, and so its arrival was heralded with some trepidation. We made preparations as best we could; tied down everything that needed tied down, brought in anything from outside that could turn into a wind powered missile, and made sure we had plenty of wine on hand to "weather" the storm. ...
