I work at an auction house part time and sell stuff locally and on ebay. I have been making a lot of great connections in the business. I have a friend that works at the auction house too. We hope to one day work on our own business full time as the owners of the auction house will be retiring in the next few years.

My bosses are more like family to me but I love to work on my own business best. I would imagine that this board doesn't get much traffic due to most of us being far too busy to chat online much. Best of luck to all of the DUers in business and life!
