G-day. Dealer from down under

G-day all

I was once an Auctioneer and now a second-hand dealer... You can find me at
https://smolle.com.au/

I have joined this BBS to both learn and to communicate with you all. I have just started a BBS for Australian dealers so we can trade between our selves and with customers like what I have seen here already.

The second hand trade is slowly dying around me thanks to the buy swapand sell pages on FB. And other platforms. That is the reason I started my BBS in Australia... I would appreciate guidance.

Thank you
Frank

 

Hello and welcome.
We have some boardies here from Austrailia.
@Shangas is a regular on the board.

What is a BBS?

 

Nice intro . . . BTW, I tried to click on the link but no dice!

 

Welcome to the forum, Smolle.

Big Bloody Site? Or, also in keeping with Aussie lingo, Bloody Bastard of a Site.
I used to live Down Under as well, Smolle.

The link is:
https://smolle.com.au

 

Found it, BBS is Bulletin Board System.
(I preferred the other options. )

Sorry about that....
Fixed it

 

Hi Smolle!

Welcome to Antiquers............

LoL

I Like a lot of my Pretties. So yes it a bloody big site ... I wish I had more time to write better descriptions for each item... thank you for the compliments, however, I feel that a lot of the costume Jewellery was a wast of time putting up there.

Yes, I will take that advice and change it form BBS to Forum ... Thanks
I grew up with the C=64 and a modem mucking around on the old BBS'. A rose is still a rose... And they are all set up the same. I wanted to use YaBBs as a platform but had difficulties installing it on my site. so I had to settle with for phpBB. Over the next few days, I will try and make it look better.

I work a second full-time job as a Drug and Alcohol therapist... I had closed my Bricks and mortar shop down, sadly. Once dealing is in the blood it's bloody hard to stop. It's an addiction in itself in some ways.

 

Welcome, Frank! Took a quick look at your site - I assume you meant
pre-loved (on the first page.)

 

And possibly rabbit instead of rabet? Not trying to nit-pick, but trying to get more eyes on your items.

 

Did I mention I am Multilingual Dyslexic ... Thank you ... Fixed

 

Don't worry, so is my husband, I'm used to it.

 

I just noticed, you're in Orange. I have been there, but that was decades ago.

 

Welcome to the forums! Always great to talk to people active in buying/selling as a collector myself who hasn't yet made the leap into reselling. Here in the U.S. I can see some small trends that used goods are becoming more popular/accepted as an option for younger people.

 

@Any Jewelry If you could remember an Auction House across the road from the train station ... That was our Family

 

Welcome!

 

hope you are safe in Orange..

 

Welcome!
