OT...How long have you been on ebay?

[Tom S.]

I've been a member since Nov. 20, 1999.

March 3, 2002, right after I turned 18

My first two purchases were CDs
Garth Brooks - The Hits
Eagles - Greatest Hits

(and I still have the CDs!)

It's amazing how many of us started out 'there' about the same time.


...an extension to the original question:


How and where did you shop - for cards - prior to ebay?


I used Teletrade a lot and dealers I found in the hobby publications.

March 17, 1998.

That’d have put me a month or two away from college graduation.

I also used Teletrade, and would scour the SCD, and go to as many card shows as I could.

For me it was mid to late 90's, the one thing I do remember or it seemed to me, is that over-clocking your computer (it was a thing, don't know if it still is), helped getting in bid very rapidly
