Hi Everyone!

AI Summary

Hi Everyone,

Since there has been no discussion activity, I thought I would go ahead and start a thread. I would love to connect with other sellers in the area and create a space we can learn from one another and help each other out.

About me (and feel free to share as well)

  • I'm Carlee, and I am based in Fairfax, VA

  • My small business is The Thrifty Triple - I specialize in vintage hard goods, but as many of us resellers are, we will always flip any buck to be made.

  • I began with eBay in 2001 and sold clothing, but as many of us old-timers to eBay know, it was tough with technology back then and didn't stick with it. I did dabble in it over the years until I decided to jump in as a side hustle in 2022, leading to going full-time in March 2023 leaving Corporate America in the dust to focus on family and eBay!

  • I enjoy a good digger estate sale! I also enjoy rummage and yard sales. I wish we had more open air swap meet/flea markets here in the NoVA.

  • My most notable sale was a Ceramic Christmas tree last holiday season... I sold it to the event company that was responsible for the White House Christmas decorating, and yes! I did find it amongst the White House Library Photos of their AMAZING Ceramic Forest!

Look forward to connecting!

Carlee
