KSell Emporium started years ago when a young mechanical engineer (me) needed a side gig both as a hobby and to earn a little extra income to support a growing family. What started as selling junk out of my friends and relatives basements, evolved into a what you see today. Over the years we have sold in a lot of different categories, industrial equipment, LED Flashlights, electronics, and misc junk. A few years back while answering one of my Craigslist ads, you have seen the type. “We haul your junk for free!.” I emptied a basement that turned out to be a honey hole of 80’s toys. These were the toys I grew up with, GI Joe, He-Man, Transformers, Fischer Price Little People, Muscle Men, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Smurfs, Playmobil, Snorks, WWF, Hot Wheels, and so many more I could go on all day. While sorting through these toys to list them on eBay my son started to take interest, that energized me. Since that day KSell Emporium’s main focus has been on toys, vintage and new and trendy, even though we still sell a lot of other random stuff.
My son is still engaged in the business and his interest grows as he does. Watching my son learn about ecommerce, web design, marketing, selling, accounting, and all the other things that go along with running a small business is extremely rewarding, and the fuel that powers shopksell.com.
