Who
Are We? Priced Nostalgia is a small press publisher and eBay store
PowerSeller. We not only sell vintage toys and collectibles on eBay,
but also publish books on buying and selling on eBay as well as price
guides to popular collectibles.
History:
Priced Nostalgia first
started in 1997 as a mother-daughter business selling vintage toys and
collectibles on a website called Firefly’s Online Garage Sale
(after the My Little Pony of the same name). With the launch of eBay
that same year, the business expanded into the online marketplace of
auctions. Priced Nostalgia is proud to be one of the first buyers and
sellers on eBay and we have enjoyed seeing the site grow and change
with the passage of the years.
It was
not until the new millennium that we changed our name to Priced Nostalgia,
a representation of our company mission: to provide the kind of joy
that can only be achieved by rediscovering a toy or other vintage item
you remember from long ago. In those days, our slogan was “browse
our shelves for free for a trip down memory lane or take a piece of
nostalgia home for a little more.”
Our customers
are the people whose mothers threw out their baseball cards by mistake,
whose big sisters cut the hair off their favorite Barbie and whose father
never let them have that huge Lego playset they find themselves thinking
of to this day. In short, we serve anyone who has ever looked at something
they remember from their past and said with a smile, “Hey! I had
that!” or, “I want that back!”
In the
early 2000’s, Priced Nostalgia became a registered Trading Assistant
and began to put our eBay selling skills to use selling items for others.
This extra volume of sales helped us to reach PowerSeller for the very
first time in 2003, a status we have maintained since that time.
In 2003,
Priced Nostalgia published our first book through our new publishing
branch, Priced Nostalgia Press. The book,
The
Seller Ledger: An Auction Organizer for Selling on eBay, was
the first in a series of books about buying and selling on eBay including
The
Trading Assistant's Assistant and the upcoming eBay Shipping
Secrets and eBay Buyer's Handbook.
After the
success of our books on eBay, PN launched a second series to do what
we do best, reunite people with the beloved items of their past. The
Collector’s Inventory series was designed to help collectors
to not only keep track of every tiny piece of their collections, but
also to provide them with a visual and portable version of their most
beloved items to keep.
