"I started collecting in 1993 when I went to my first show in Mt. Dora. I fell in love with a little antique Band Aid box for $6. It was the first and only antique I had ever had. In 1995, Lee and I were watching TV and a commercial came on for an upcoming show in Mt. Dora and I said to Lee, 'That's the show! I want to go there!' Lee had never been to a show or bought an antique in his life, but we went. By the end of the show I was the one standing at the end of the aisle saying, 'Come on, let's go,' and he was saying, 'Next time we have to come at 6 in the morning, you can't see everything in one day, we have to stay for the whole weekend, etc.'. It was hysterical."

Diane and a friend started selling their finds on eBay a few years later. "We started with $50 each and turned it into $5000. in six months. I knew I wanted to do this for a living right then. My friend couldn't commit to doing it full time and it took me awhile to get started full time, too."

Lee's brother and sister-in-law had a booth at Our Old Stuff and Diane and Lee decided to join us, too. They maintain a brisk business on eBay as "gottagosale" and bring a mixed collection of primitives, mid century and Floridiana to the mall.
