    Just a little background on how we started. We started selling as a way for our then 16 year old son to have a way to earn some spending money and save for a car. It seemed like a great idea since he did not have a car to get to and from a part time job. It worked well since he only had to put in a few hours a week, barely even part time, since it was at home working on the computer at night or on weekends and maybe going to a flea market on the weekends. This way it wouldn't affect his school work or his social life (ha ha ha!) And saved Mom on being a Taxi service even more that she was!!!! HAHAHA!!!! He has since gotten what he calls a real job and has graduated High School. He has also decided to go into the National Guard and is looking into the police academy. It wound up being such a fun hobby for my husband and myself that we have continued to do it. We go to yard/garage sales, estate sales, auctions and the such to find our merchandise. Because of this we never know what inventory that we might have at any given time. It is always changing. And now with economic times as they are we use the extra cash to pay some bills and buy more items. We pride ourselves in selling our items at reasonable prices because we know times are hard for everyone. We think that we are helping not only the ones that we buy the items from but those that also buy items from us. In a way it is a never ending cycle of help for not only us but our community in which we live and our world wide community. We try to test and clean every item we have to the best of our abilities. I try not to sell "trash". Our goal is to start a store in our community so that we can help more and more people not only by selling cheap quality merchandise but to also have job openings by employing others to help us do all the work that comes with having a store. And the added benefit is that we are helping to save our planet by recycling too. So please take the time to stop and check out our online store listings and see if there is something you just might need or can't live without. Thank you for checking us out and for shopping!!!!!!
