<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laura9797, post: 10229232, member: 9323&quot;]I was in the physical auction house world for years before starting our estate sale company - back then I had time to pick.&nbsp; It all began with eBay.&nbsp; I started with eBay back in 1998 when I knew nothing about anything.&nbsp; I had been a social worker and then had 3 children.&nbsp; In 1996, my middle child was 2, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.&nbsp; I started going to garage sales as a way to get used children clothes, toys, household stuff cheap.&nbsp; I remember buying an art glass lamp that I thought was cool but knew nothing about it.&nbsp; A neighbor told me about eBay and the message boards and that was it for me.&nbsp; Taking pictures and having them developed and then scanning them to upload - so much work and then came digital cameras!&nbsp; Back then, eBay was a marketplace of such fun unique items. You would get &#039;cookies&#039; from the pinks for helping out other members on the message boards! Now eBay doesn&#039;t seem to support their sellers anymore.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still sell but you have to be so careful with the scammers.&nbsp; I just purchased a bunch of hologram stickers for higher end items to prevent the &#039;switch-a-roo&#039; I keep hearing about.&nbsp; Sad that it has come to that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
