Some thoughts from the interview

“I started off in 2010 and I was looking for something to do with myself and I saw the movie the 40 year old virgin. There is a shop in that movie where they sell good on eBay for other people and I thought that was a great idea, easy to get into with spending a fortune.”

“We opened up an auction house, I put an ad up on gumtree and found someone to help me. I bought a little shop, put signs up, did flyers around town and the goods started to come in. That built up then into a business with 4 or 5 people.”

Some thoughts from the interview

“We got into it by mistake really, by accident I guess the business I was running before was there a courier business so we were delivering parcels all over the country and so we had some spare Warehouse space and at the time eBay starting up and there was another company on the same state that stocked posters or warehoused posters so we just thought I’d give it a try to sell a few on eBay and they are going from there really that was in about 2003 ”

“You have to be careful with (copyright). Our stock is ordered from a licence publishers so he knows people on eBay or other channels that will sell bootleg items or unofficial items but we always stay away from that.”
