Our experience on E-Bay started when our family room started to bulge at the seams with our 1950s, 60s, and 70s retro, atomic, mod, groovy, Danish Modern collectibles. What started out as a wonderful first experience of buying a set of jewel colored spun aluminum glasses (a blast from our past) turned into an addiction.

We now have a separate building to house an inventory that would make any collectors eyeball roll. What we have learned though is that we could still make good regular money on E-Bay without having this size of inventory and this is what we want to teach. Read through the list of steps to see if selling on E-Bay is a good fit for you and if so, return to Helium to read the nine articles.
