Online Antiques
Even while growing up, Lynn loved her grandmother’s antique shop. So when her ailing grandma needed help running the store, Lynn took on the responsibility. But there was a problem. Her grandmother’s medical bills were growing faster than the shop’s sales. In 1998, hoping for some quick cash, Lynn posted items on eBay. Before long, a rare teapot went for $1000 and a chess set for $300. Even though her grandmother could barely speak from being sick, her face lit up when Lynn showed her the money they’d made.
Lynn learned the ropes of the new electronic marketplace by spending hours tracking eBay auctions and reading trade magazines.
Lynn’s online sales averaged $15,000 per month by 2000.
Her transactions started to grow rapidly, so Lynn created a way to organize them. She published her smart system in a book which the cite now offers in its official store.
She has also written six books about making money on eBay and teaches online courses for wanabee eBay entrepreneurs.
Lynn once bought a small wooden bird for $2, later reselling it for a whooping $2,000. She says, “I know my grandmother was watching over me then and that she’s still looking out for me now.”
