The Total Gym Gravity Training System – 200 Exercises In One Machine

The Baseball Storyteller

The Baseball Storyteller

As the thermometer makes its way down the pipe from summer to fall temperatures, outdoor activities start to wind down.  Summer months, especially here in Southern New England, are filled with camping, boating, tennis, and all sorts of outdoor fun.  And when the summer season is over, it is time to pack up that camper, pull the boat out of the marina, and zip up the case to those tennis racquets.  Or, in some cases, it is time to sell off unused sporting and camping gear to make room in the garage or in the yard. Ebay and Craigslist are … Continue reading End of the Summer Season Means Great Deals on Sporting Goods, Boats

The Schwinn Backdraft – The Sit Down Bike With Wind Resistance

The Baseball Storyteller

Schwinn has a century old reputation for quality in the sporting goods and bicycle industry.  In the 1980’s through the early part of the 2000’s, Schwinn’s Fitness division made exercise machines for residences, health clubs, hotels, schools, and other facilities.  One of those products, The Airdyne, became of the most sought after machines because of its unique wind resistance and dual action motion (arms and legs exercising at the same time).  The Airdyne model typically refers to an upright bike.  In addition to the upright bike, Schwinn Fitness produced a recumbent Airdyne, The Airdyne Backdraft.

Pieces of History Tell the Story of a Soldier

The Baseball Storyteller

My job on ebay is part writer, part photographer, part researcher, well let’s just say it has many parts.  Recently, a local resident dropped off some memorabilia from her late uncle’s estate.  He was in the United States Army during the World War II period in US history.  She was unclear what the monetary value of the items was, although the sentimental value was far too high to quantify.  She and her husband have been cleaning out her late relative’s estate, and these items were next to go.  A common situation with a lot of my ebay customers locally here … Continue reading Pieces of History Tell the Story of a Soldier

My Two Cents on Why the Value Of Baseball Cards Has Been Reduced To Cents

The Baseball Storyteller

“I have a rather large collection of baseball cards, what do you think they are worth?”  This is a common question I get from potential sellers on my ebay store, The NK Marketing Store.  My answer, uttered with a true sadness as a baseball card enthusiast, is not much.  Baseball card values have plummeted over the past decade and continue to decline.  As recent as two years ago, I attended a card show in Warwick.  Slow, stagnant, disappointing were the common sentiments by the card and memorabilia merchants at this particular show.  I have been doing some research on websites … Continue reading My Two Cents on Why the Value Of Baseball Cards Has Been Reduced To Cents
