The truth behind this blog!

Well what is the truth behind this blog? I have been selling on eBay for years. It started a s a way for me to sell items I would find to reinvest into my vinyl collecting habit. That ended several years ago as during a move my turntable got smashed up. So I off loaded my expensive collection for pennies just so I wouldn't have to move it all again. I had close to 2000 Full length albums and singles. However, I did keep my 7" single collection. It is still packed away, and occasionally I'll find another one, or a hundred to buy and pick through for myself. The rest I sell off. But, that's not the whole truth.

The truth about why I sell now on eBay is to get me through college. I, at the time I registered for college was 37. I got tired of working retail, and was kind of given a little bit of a push by a Hollywood movie car guy when he had come into a store I was working at in San Francisco. During our conversation I had mentioned that I was thinking about going back to school. He asked me, "What do you want to go back to school for". At least that's the question I for some reason remember being asked anyways. So I replied, "I want to build Custom Cars. And before I could continue,  he stopped me, well kind of, mid sentence and said, "You need to stop thinking about it, and just do it!" And that week I was enrolled. All I needed was a little push.

But now that I am close to being done with what I went back to school for, I am trying to keep myself going so I can find the right job. But you may be asking, What did you back to school for? What classes did this guy take? Well I went back for the Auto Body Collision Repair courses, as well as Automotive Refinishing.   I took a break from the Fall semester last year (2012) as I had gotten a job at a local body shop. I was grateful for getting the job, but it was one of those that just throw him out there and sink or swim kind of jobs. After the first of the year, I was laid off for a reason I was sure was a load of, well possibly a load of, well, CRAP! So I went back to school and took the Welding courses. And now I am almost done with those. So eBay had been how I would pay for these classes, and it's been keeping me going. I haven't really been pushing myself with eBay too much. It's been just enough to get by. But now with me having a lot more things that I had, and have bought with some of the money I made, I re-invested in to a lot more over time. Well now it all needs to be getting cleared out. I need to put my money into other things. I have tools to buy, so I can have them for whatever job I hope to land, as well to put the money into my truck that I plan to do a full custom build with. So, now that I have told the truth about what this blog is for, please share what I post on it as it will mpstly be of the items I am selling in my eBay store. THANKS FOR READING!
