Gee thanks for the slam on Ebay. I am a married vintage freak that makes a full time living on Ebay so I can stay home and take care of a hard working hubby, and hopefully in the near future start a family. I make my paycheck finding treasures in thrift stores and selling it to people all around the world that would never have had a chance to get it otherwise, it would have just sat on a shelf in my little dinky town. I tend to think of it as a service that helps finance my passion for vintage, so all of us retro hounds gets a chance to decorate our homes in anything other than the norm!!!

And I agree with the other posts too, if it weren't for Ebay I would never have found some of my most prized treasures, so if that meant someone made a little dough off me, so be it. Tiki collecting is really hard for Floridians too without it, I have some of the mugs from FL restaurants, but because so many great ones are from the West Coast Ebay is essential!
