The History of My Collecting

I started collecting antiques when I was around 13, yet my interest grew a lot more when I reached 17.  It was at that time that several things happened.  I started earning more money than I had before, I had my own transportation, and I met my friend Gary, who had been collecting for over 20 years and had experience in buying, selling, and restoring antiques.  Shortly after meeting Gary, we began to take a lot of trips around Michigan and Ohio in search of neat stuff.  In the spring of 2000 I started shopping on Ebay, six months after that I began selling on Ebay.  Soon I was wheeling and dealing antiques and my collection was expanding and improving.
