I will soon be listing on eBay two items of interest to collectors. The first is a vintage toy jeep made by Victory Toys in Holland. I am the original owner. My parents gave me this toy in about 1950. I have done nothing to restore it. I am not trained in antique restoration and will leave that to the experts. It is solid metal and very heavy. Except for the rust and dust, everything is just the way it was on day 1. (Picture follows)

During some of my Army time, I was stationed in Huntsville, Alabama. This is the home town of the Alabama Space And Rocket Center, known as Tranquility Base. Most of the booster rockets were produced and tested in Huntsville and most of the electronics for the Apollo Moon Missions were built in Huntsville. I worked as a component tester for the company that produced the electronics for the Apollo Missions. As a result, my fingerprints are on the moon on several electronic components in the Lunar Module Base.

In 1977 the Space and Rocket Center museum opened and during the grand opening, the center gave away (and later sold) custom matchbooks. These have not been produced in many decades now. I have one of the originals and will be listing it along with other collectable matchbook covers in sets. The Tranquility Base matchbook will be in a sealed plastic bag with a certificate of authenticity.

In addition to these items, I will be listing some of the following items.

• Ham Radio Gear
• Collectable Thimbles
• Butterfly Pins
• Stamp Position Plate Blocks
• The Published Short Stories of Raymond F. Jones
• Rare Olympic Pins.
• and more.

I will place notices here when I am about to post an item so that you can get in on it at the beginning and reserve a spot. Meanwhile, just go to eBay and search for a seller named "BidNow".

Until next time, good luck with your auction activities.

Everybody has heard the mantra. "The Money Is In The List". "You Must Have A List". Collecting names is not hard. Collecting them without getting spammed IS hard. Bots will harvest your email address anyplace you put it.

Even inside your eBay listings, bots will harvest your email address. There should be a way to collect email addresses, or at least let your customers contact you, without getting spammed.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to get those emails without giving away any information about yourself?

Good news! A product called Magic Subscriber will do just that. It give a visitor to your web page, blog or eBay listing a way to contact you without revealing your email address. Magic Subscriber places a small "Contact Me" box on your screen and gives the visitor (or potential buyer on eBay) a way to contact you.

Now, for a cost of only $1.98, you can solve this problem with Magic Subscriber. (When you click the link, a new screen will open. When you close that window, you will be right back here!)
