Just couldn't lurk any longer... I've been selling online as a part-time income source for about ten years now and am actively seeking viable multiple channels. My main product is industrial ephemera (which translates to old machine tool printed stuff like brochures, data sheets, catalogs and other promotional materials and some manuals) from the 30's-70's.

Right now I'm selling mostly on eBay, have just got set up on Bonanzle in the past few weeks (with one sale there and two booths, one for used books and vintage maps, the other a possible transition for the industrial ephemera), and have a semi-active Etsy shop for my art and masks and letterpress prints.

Tried OLA but found they weren't a good fit (and feel a few promises were made that weren't followed through on, but that may just be my opinion)...

Am realizing the online sales world is changing very quickly... I'm on PSU in order to exchange ideas and tips and tricks with others in a similar position.

Check out my sites and my blog (links for all in my signature -- you'll get a better idea of what I do and what makes me tick)... and a big Hi, All to the new PSU'ers!!!

Welcome to PSU actiasluna Good Luck with your new ventures.

Welcome to PSU - We sell some industrial ephemeria too, but mostly from NJ Zinc or Bethlehem Steel up here in PA. Very nice items you have. Good luck.

Thanks, all! Having a great weekend with gorgeous fair fall weather in Oklahoma... so I just dashed in to check the e-mail and found some nice posts here.
