After staying home to raise 3 wonderful children, I went back to work to pursue the teaching career that I'd left behind 15 years prior. After about 10 years of teaching, I decided to leave teaching to "go shopping."
I've always been a bargain hunter but one can only wear so many pairs of shoes, carry so many designer handbags and collect so many Hummel figurines. But I kept finding bargains that were too good to leave behind at the store.
The impetus that started my online selling was a Columbia ski jacket that I'd found that I "had to have." But with a perfectly good jacket in the closet, it was hard to justify a new one. I decided to sell the old jacket on-line and after having worn it for 3 years, I sold for $40 more than I'd paid for it new! And thus, a monster was born.
Since that fateful sale in November, 2003, I've spent many hours shopping department stores, outlets, discounters and end-of-season clearance sales for great deals. I find the bargains that allow me to pass the savings on to you, my buyers.
Over the last 12 years, I've spent thousands of hours on various discussion forums and boards helping with authenticity questions and reporting counterfeit goods and scams. I take pride and pleasure in seeing internet sites cleaned up and my dream is that someday, buyers will no longer have to worry about receiving fakes; counterfeit items will be a thing of the past.
Although this isn't realistic, it's wishful thinking. In the meantime, I am happy to respond to questions about authenticity of Coach and Dooney and Bourke items. If I don't know the answer, I will try to find someone who does or I'll refer you to another forum in which to post your questions.
Thank you for visiting my booth and welcome to Bonanza.
