Sorry about that.
Had some intervening, superseding happenings on this end. Hope to get back in the groove. I enjoyed writing about my passion of junking more then I expected.
Just back from my THIRD eBay Live in Chicago. While this was certainly the most subdued of the conferences (and could very well be the last of the lineage), it is one of the few gatherings where I feel that I am truly amongst my own kind!
I always find this conference to be extremely worthwhile. I was able to get much face time with eBay execs to ask questions and receive guidance specific to my two eBay accounts and stores (Electric-Estate-Sale for consignment goods, and Urban-Anthropology for my estate and thrift shop finds). However, eBay live is all about networking. I am always fascinated by the niches people have carved out-and how much there is to know about everything. This always excites the informationist in me.
I am anxious to slowly try to digest all that I learned to enhance this blog, and my entire eBay experience.
Exhibit A- I learned how to do THIS (I am not much of a techie so creation of a widget is a huge leap):

About Me
- thriftshopadvisor
- I am a recovering lawyer, who has been working as a research librarian for the past 15 years, in both a private law firm, and law school setting. I have recently quit my day job to pursue my interests in junking for fortune & glory full time. I am equal parts informationist, and treasure hunter. I have been going to thrift shops and estate sales my ENTIRE life. My two interests are quite complimentary. I am an excellent "finder", whether it is digging for information in databases or the net, or searching for buried treasure in a thrift shop or attic. I hope to build this space into a meeting place for fellow thrift shop aficionados who are looking for a treasure map of sorts when traveling through the US.
