We make no excuses, but by way of explanation the main reason was our show schedule. With approximately 30 shows a year, we were away from our business almost 120 days a year. When we got home from a show, by the time we unpacked, filled orders and put new acquisitions into stock, it was time for another show.

That has dramatically changed. Because of a back problem, I personally cannot travel long distances, and that has curtailed my show schedule, where I am now down to 4-6 shows a year with no more than 4-7 hours travel time by car. So in recent months we made a major decision. Almost our entire business and stock will go up on our website and many items over $5 will also go up on e-Bay stores, with better items on e-Bay auctions. We have links from our website to our e-Bay auctions and e-Bay store.

With family help in re-organizing our entire stock, we have made an auspicious start. We have started to upload our entire stock. See following newsletter entries to see what countries have been uploaded.
