Who
Are We? Priced Nostalgia is a small press publisher, Trading Assistant
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.
The complete catalogue of eBay Education books we have in print is available
here.
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.
Many
of the books from our Priced Nostalgia Press imprint are available on
eBay right now!
