Therapy Milestone

When I started doing this about 4 years ago, it was a suggestion from my Dr as a way to deal with my anxiety and panic attack issues. A distraction after having to retire due to a Army back injury. I went into it as a distraction and a hobby, nothing more. Years later, today, I made my 1,000th sale. 

 

I know 1,000 isn't a lot, especially to larger companies and businesses. But to a guy selling microwave parts out of his garage, 1000 is a lot to me and a goal I will celebrate. 

 

A lot of trial and error along the way, and I still don't think I know how everything on eBay works. But it has been a great distraction and has provided great therapy. 

 

I hope all of you, no matter how big or small your operation is, are setting goals and enjoying what you're doing. Thanks to 1,000 great customers, many sellers, and many eBay support representatives who have helped me along the way. Good luck to all and good day.

Re: Therapy Milestone

Thanks. It definitely has provided some distraction and therapy I needed. And I've learned so much along the way. About electronics, business management, customer relations, advertising, financing. Plus it got me out of the house and in the truck with my son's looking for microwaves to disassemble and sell. Great times together with them.

Re: Therapy Milestone

Seems an odd recommendation from a doctor for a patient who's suffering from anxiety and panic attack issues.  However, glad to see that you have taken the suggestion and made a successful run with it.  Congratulations!
