What's In A Name? An eBay Name That Is...

For the purposes of this challenge, I started a new eBay and paypal account. Why? Easy to track and, frankly, kind of fun to "start over."

First things first: my eBay handle. For many years, I bought and sold on eBay using the name "thehigherstandard." Cool name, right? I think so even if you don't! :) I eventually changed the name to try to draw traffic to my Foreign Star Wars Blog (http://www.foreignstarwars.com). It's a photographic price guide for vintage (1977 - 1985) Star Wars toys that were produced and sold in countries other than the United States. If you like that sort of stuff, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Anyway, I chose "the_higher_standard" for my new name because it was familiar to me and because I was always mad at myself for going away from that name anyway. Here's my chance to renew the goodwill associated with those many years of buying and selling (or totally destroy it if I have another emergency that pulls me away and I forget to ship the items before I leave! - true story, but that's for another time).

Drop by and see what I'm selling!

Better yet, BUY SOMETHING!
