Read below and get to know more about one of our new OLA Sellers.

How long have you been selling online?
I have been selling on line since 1996.

How and or why did you start selling online?
I love estate sales, auctions, and thrift shops. My home was bulging at the seams, I had to do something, so I put some items online, and at that time my items started selling by the dozens. I also got tired lugging my items to swap meets, etc. OnlineAuction.com is the best sales vehicle I can find for my money. I signed on as a $8.00 a month deal, but quickly realized this site actually sells.

What is the most interesting thing you've bought or sold online?
An Edition Picasso bowl which I purchased at a local estate sale for $30.00 and got $863.00 on ebay. I didn't know what it was, but I quickly found out!

What other hobbies do you have besides selling online?
I have 2 hybrid dogs, a parrot, and a cat. They keep me busy. I am single and I like to travel.

Tell us something about yourself we didn’t ask … random something about YOU!
I am from Altoona Pa but now living in Tucson, Az.

Can you please share a tip on creating your OLA store?
Make sure you co ordinate your pictures with the item. I learned the hard way. I now put the number of the picture, the bag it is in, and put that number on the listing. Some small items look alike, and can be very tiresome looking through all your photos to find one certain picture.
