epfanatic

Hi! Welcome to my Bonanza store. The reason behind my ID name "epfanatic" is that I am an avid Elvis Presley fanatic with Elvis collectibles throughout my home. I have loved Elvis since I was about 10 years old and still enjoy listening to his music and watching his movies. One of the highlights of my life was seeing him live in Long Beach, CA in 1972.

My husband and I have been collecting and selling all kinds of "stuff" for over 40 years. Not long after we got married, we started selling at a local swap meet on weekends. We had a very large wedding and got so many duplicate items that we didn't know what to do with them. My husband and I decided to try selling them at the local swap meet. We both enjoyed meeting people at the swap meet and we really liked the extra cash. The years flew by and we both had full time jobs but we would still load up the truck and go to the local swap meet on weekends. We used the extra money to help put our boys through college. In 1989 my husband and I decided to quit our 9 to 5 jobs and open a brick and mortar store. We sold new and used furniture, antiques, and collectibles. In 1999 my computer smart son told me we should try selling some of our extra inventory online. It was so successful that in 2001 my husband and I decided to close our store and we both started selling online full time. He is now retired from sales but I am still selling "stuff" on Bonanza. I enjoy it and it keeps me busy.
