    Hi Tamara!

    I'm glad you're here. Everyone here is wonderful - SO friendly and extremely knowledgable. I honestly would not have had half the success I've had if it were not for the help of the people on this board.

    I can't wait to see what you find!

    Hi Tamara -

    Always nice to see new faces, aboard!
    You sound like all of us, when we started.
    I spent many weeks just reading everything on eBay, to "learn the ropes" in the beginning, but found the vintage group the most helpful, of all.
    Not to mention, some of the nicest people, around.
    :)
    Nice to have you join us!

    Hi Tamara.

    WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First, give yourself credit for what you know. It may be a little overwhelming at first with so many eras/designs/style movements, but if you start with what you love, it will multiply. Start with what you really love and the the enthusiasm will rub off on people. when you are excited about something - whether it be loud 70s print maxi dresses or victorian boots, you can't help but be knowledgeable about it .Take the types of items that you always find yourself gravitating towards your whole life...little black dresses from maybe the 60s, lets say...ask questions and research the "gaps" you need to fill in and you may find you know more than you thought.

    eventually you can go into what you have no clue about, but if you stick to what you know or would LIKE to know at the very first, your confidence in your knowledge will be there, and then you can either specialize or branch out from there.

    No one can possible know everything about everything, but somehow with all the brains here who have a favorite style or era or another, we can pretty much chisle together what other info that another doesn't have...or at least be able to know how to get it.

    *out of breath* finally made it in! ;)

    hello.......birth name Regina, board name kasket13.......known as kasket*13* on the ebay VCA board.....

    been away a while. bought a new house & have been working overtime to pay for it. (but now i have a HUUUUUGE auction room......w/ 12 foot ceilings!!) from the Dallas area, but in North Louisiana now with my boyfriend & 2 cats.

    34 year-old Graphic artist by trade, currently a slot technician at a casino. yep, a lady doing a "man's job"....& very well, i might add! ;) into historic preservation (of all kinds!), flea market/junk shop runs, 60/70/80s stuff, & my VW Beetles, among many other things....

    used to be a "regular" on VCA, but have been "out of the loop" since last november. just now getting back in the swing of things.

    glad to have finally made it in to this site. so much knowledge here! ;) & so many new sites to see! this is wonderful, & you guys have done so much work! i applaud you all!

    good to see the familiar names, & nice to meet the new ones. hope i can help with 70s/80s items if anyone has questions. i like to give back whenever i can.

    looking forward to the VBO......if i can remember how to post a decent auction!! :D

    Welcome Regina!!!

    <i>70s/80s items if anyone has questions.</i>

    That's great! The more minds the better.
    I think the 70s and 80s for the most part are a little overlooked. They have experienced a lot of revival trendy styles that borrow from those decades recently, but it is yet to be determine what will really rise above as garments that will be desirable 40 years from now or will connect with people....like how we drool over particular styles and designers of the 40s-60s, notice lines and pieces that might have been overlooked when that era was actually going on, and may also agree somewhat of what really is represntative of that time. And sometimes that goes hand and hand and sometimes it doesn't. (sometimes something is so representative there is too many to be special as eeveryone had one : )
