When I opened an eBay account in 2005 to purchase CDs for my sons, I also discovered there are many eBay members who are selling used items .  They sell second hand items or vintage things which can be found lying around your home.  The idea of de- cluttering my home of possessions which are no longer needed and gain extra cash from it, encouraged me to start my own hobby, hence the name vintage*style*store was created.

The stuff I sell range from vintage homewares such as  chenille bedspreads, silverware set or separate pieces, depression glass, and small collectibles.  There are many items falling under these categories and I can source them locally by being patient in making regular visits to  thrift shops or attending garage sales, estate sales or local auctions.

These stuff give me decent  profits from my buying and selling activities on eBay, but there is one more compelling reason why I decided to sell vintage things. I realized early on that I am helping the environment.  Instead of  going to the landfills, these things  are  redirected to some loving homes who appreciate old things which still hold value to this day and age. The less trees are cut down and the less cows are slaughtered are good for our planet.

These old items become interesting once again for those people who are familiar with them when they were growing up.  These objects become the talking point of the older generation who have experienced them and transfer this knowledge to the younger generation by re-using and talking about them.  These items connect you to the history of people and things in the past thus making you more appreciative of the present.
