- about us - about us
stevescollectibles.com began when a friend asked me to try and sell a couple of toys for him. Thanks David! He knew I had just started 'playing' and 'surfing' on the NEW Information Superhighway...Remember that OLD name for the Net that we no longer hear.... So, I tried it and the rest is history. I had such fun searching for buyers that I started spending too much time out of my family and home life on the side or 'along with' my engineering career.
There was only one thing to do; The engineering career had to go! I had to keep my family happy, right? When I could show a 'living' amongst my playing, I could do it full time. Engineering wasn't fun like selling 'stuff' on the web. Gotta reduce stress. true? Anybody knows that!
So I played for just under a year and a half (30 or 40 hours a week!) Then in August 1997, I gave my notice at work. Whatcha gonna do?..they asked; I said sell way cool stuff on the Internet! What looks I got! But I don't care 'cause I like making people happy by helping them find a piece of their childhood!
In 2002, I decided to grab some more structure and went back to my Civil Engineering career with Health Insurance skyrocketing etc. and I do need that 401K. But, I'm still having a ball in my spare time searching out that great children's book you had as a child or the vase you just loved. We've added tremendously to our website selection and gotten affiliated with some great companies with super items in many areas. Still fun and a Nostalgic experience for me...

Look around our site and see if you can find some of yours!
We're ONLY on the web;
we do not have a shop and intend to keep it that way. A shop
would create too much stress! Our 16 pound Bichon Frise Natie 
is always a pleasure to be around and helped me
decide to create a pretty good focus on Dog Collectibles and
Gifts for our website as I love Pooches very much. Click to go
see him.
We keep a huge want list database for our customers so let us know if you are looking for something. If we don't have it now, we may stumble upon it. If you need a children's book, email the title and we'll do a worldwide search. Or if you collect, say, Leave it to Beaver...let us know your topic. We clean estates in Connecticut! So, please contact us before you throw ANYTHING away until we speak. (860) 274-3962 10AM-9:30PM EST ONLY Please. You are likely to get voicemail with a nice long tape for your message.
Thank you for several terrific years so far!! We continue to make even more people happy this year making a living along the way.
Peace to you all,
Steve
