Our namesake
Harry Allen was
a true world
wide trader in
the early
1900's, way
before the
Internet. He was
responsible for
bringing the
Taxi Meter from
England to New
York. Now his
grandson Bob
takes over that
pioneering
tradition in
Cyberspace.
Prior to the
development of
the Internet, in
the traditional
Brick and Mortar
era of the 20th
Century, Bob was
a seasoned sale
professional in
the Automotive
Aftermarket and
the Furniture
Industries.
Getting a taste
of the eCommerce
marketplace at
it's inception
in the early
90's, we started
out locally by
offering local
golf clubs a
free website in
exchange for the
email addresses
of their
members. Many of
those initial
members are
still friends
and golfing
buddies.
The business
expanded from
there to a joint
venture with the
local newspaper
website,
exchanging
"green fee"
certificates for
advertising, and
then holding a
monthly online
auction that
brought our
local online
community even
closer. The
thrill of the
auction got into
our blood.
Developing a
local source for
used golf balls,
we started
selling used
golf balls on
eBay in 2002.
Those early
years were truly
exciting even to
seasoned
professionals.
Then came
Marilyn. The
rest is the
story in the
making. The
organization has
grown over the
years..
-
We have
become the
largest
seller of
Marilyn
Merlot Wines
on eBay..
-
We have
created a
Consignment
Program for
fellow eBay
Members to
help sell
their wines
on eBay.
-
We maintain
a Marilyn
Blog and
encourage
new
collectors
to visit and
see what
this fuss is
about.
With roots in
the Marilyn
Monroe
collectible wine
category,
we are proud to
announce the
launching of our
new Internet
Television Show
called "My
Marilyn Show".
Can't think of a
better way to
share with other
"Dolphins". |
