COMPANY
About the Company proprietor A.K.A. Me.
(Who is it you will be dealing with)
I'm a near 72 year old mechanic on enforced retirement due to injury some years ago. I have always had a very inquiring mind and have for ever been interested in all things technical, scientific and interesting. Being a self confessed Mr. D.I.Y. I have turned my hand to almost every field of endeavor one could imagine since I first started picking up dad's tools to play with.
I was left able to walk but in
great pain and though able to walk the chronic pain has meant that I've never been able to participate
in my previous activities such as being a mechanic etc.and I ended up having to find things I could earn a living at while sitting down.
As it happened my accident occurred 3 months after getting married, and 3 months after leaving the
army. I ended up fighting one of the largest trucking companies in the world in court because of the unsafe equipment that failed and caused me to be crushed. After exhausting funds and legal aid I lost the case and got nothing. You can't fight multinational companies on an invalid pension.
As things progressed and I really knew what I was doing I was usually able to be on my way home by 7AM with a respectable pay packet for the morning having started at 3 to 3.30 AM - this was the life for me, or so I thought.
The money was ok and I wanted to provide for my family as best I could for as long as I could, knowing that soon enough I would not be able to do it any longer.
I just want to continue doing whatever I can to hopefully insure a residual income for my wife and children when I am gone as doctors have made it very clear I am living on borrowed time and have little hope of regaining my health given my circumstances.
By starting as I plan to continue, openly and honestly, not trying to pretend I am some kind of an expert or instant Guru I hope that people will learn to trust me and will be happy to deal with me when they can see that I am a real person putting in the time and effort to establish myself as an honest trustworthy marketer.
This, as it turns out is the point at which all my grand ideas have been flipped on their heads as doctors have made it patently clear that I should start getting my affairs in order as soon as I can.
A great deal of soul searching and thinking about what is really important that I might actually be able to accomplish in whatever time I have left, is what I need to be thinking about.
I have decided to strip down and change the purpose of this site and all I intend to do with it now is to use it as a venue to sell off a lifetime's worth of trade tools, Marine related and fishing gear and accessories and many years worth of collected electronics components, bits and pieces as well as a lot of left over Commodore 64 related software hardware books etc.
In the past 10-15 years I have also accumulated a lot of PC & laptop hardware of all kinds and a reasonable lot of electronics componentry & spares I have bought as these days I am an avid electronics tinkerer and always buying parts for projects that I now regret I will most likely never even start.
Due to the fact that I am entirely wheelchair bound these days I have taken to watching the local auctions and have very useful items that were bought for that one day when we may need it.
Well that day has come and I Need to Sell it for the sake of my dear wife and family as I am sure they would probably dispose of most of it not knowing it's actual value and I certainly do not want to see that happen.
Essentially my dear readers I need to turn a great lot of collected stuff derived from having an inquiring mind and some would say from being a bit of a hoarder. Don't beleive them it just isn't true.
As I have said this will be a site from which I will be selling off many years of accumulated stuff a bloke collects over a lifetime at very reasonable prices. People in a position to pick up bought items will be in a position to save a lot of extra money.
As to my bonafides I can only assure you by pointing to my 25 plus years as an eBay trader with 100% rating as a buyer and seller all the way. No doubt I can point to other proof and will do so if needed as I have never been in this position before.
Once I have finished re-editing my site with the assistance of my server Chilli.com, I will be posting notices on many of the usual social media sites that allow such things, so as many of my previous customers and anyone interested in good deals will be able to jump in early to see what you can pick up.
I can only tell you that when you start seeing posts on your Social Media platform advertising links to https:/www.marketingbarnyard.com prick your ears and have a look before everyone else. You just might pick up some really good deals. Hope to see some new faces along with the old. Thanks for your time and if you read it all and your perseverance too!
