Steve Maden:  An American Original

- by Bruce E. McKinney

While with him I asked about his eBay sales and offered to write about him and one of his sales in October.  It’s October 1st now and his next sale is loaded into his eBay module and ready to entice bidders.  His daily trips to search high and low are about to be converted into an eBay event and he is primed.  His starting prices are almost always $9.99 with no reserves and that’s the way they are for this sale.  This way he can expect to sell almost everything but will not know until each item closes what it brings.  It’s a dose of history and a piece of Vegas and you could drive by his house a thousand times and never know the excitement and drama he experiences.

 

Here is a link to his sale.  Whether he eats cat food or caviar are now in your hands.  And here are some of his items:
