About Me  

Hi a little about me and what inspired me to start this site (relax just as I ask other beggars to "keep it simple" I'll try to do so my self), well here goes:

  I'm a 35 yearold first generation American, Czech/English speaking guy, pro-capitalist, big block [almost;] Dodge former Ambulance Van driving anti-conformist liberal (rebel??), Type "B" Personality, by trade a independent bicycle mechanic, former eBay Powerseller (but not anymore as occasional selling and slacking doesn't help meet the requirements), webmaster, into stocks and the market [as a hobby], but now mostly an online cyberbum and video gamer, you see most people find dignity in working - NOT me! I resent unnecessary effort and I'm just too proud to work-correction slave; as doing so ~ did NOT provide me with a better life [until perhaps the partial correction in the economy] and the harder I worked, the less I had and the worse off I was, even as a business owner I would have no problem making good money but at a price - hard manual labor, no life, no girlfriend, no prestige or status, little happiness, just a company slave in a conformist society, and on top of it all local pressures from town government to be a bum  [or so it seems] - read on (and even selling on eBay I felt more like an employee than a business owner, [I'm NOT knocking eBay though - For the most part; I think that they are a great company to sell at and work for - but you gotta work and that's just not down my alley anymore]).

  That said and realising the sheer size of the internet (as well as hearing about all the free money handed out like lollipops I figured that I'd give this a try), So I devised this site last spring (2008) partly as an alternative to work and established concepts ~ thus the Begbucks lifestyle ~ (I even developed a system about 17 years back but only became a "threat" to the local brass [as before I appeared to be just a "harmless" packrat] since I started getting in demand, quality goods [and subsequently selling online] including one off collectibles, bikes, boat motors, industrial equipment, etc., etc., FREE or at a very low cost [so outrageous it wouldn't be true, but it was and made me a top eBay Powerseller in no time (and NO I WASN'T THIEF! [and not in the conventional way of belief anyway unless you consider dump picking/dumpster diving a crime]), but unfortunately local snobs in my area (Cape Cod has too many conformist, highly appearance concerned, keeping up w/ the jonses types, Type "A" but Anti-capitalist, especially anti-euntrapanuer [shall I go into detail to the lengths that some of these people in positions of leadership [or with access to], went to overrule a Mass. law allowing street vending  ~ but disallowing it on Main St. in Hyannis years ago when I wanted a Mobile Bike Rental/Sales/Repair Shop? ~ really just plain discrimination against capitalism in it's purist form], landscape/estate oriented [or the unjust rules imposed on Trailer Parks, as well as those residing in motels, campgrounds, etc., trying to drive them out], neat, mostly late model Volvo, Audi, Saab, Beamer and other European crap driving un-American snobs who choose to live here mainly as a status symbol [unlike me, besides my parents (who are mostly/nearly retired, and I'm on the Cape for the fresh air, vast scenery and nice nature views, and maybe the finds you can get here yardsaleing, and sometimes getting discarded, (like in the picture above, but where allowed which is becoming rare) sometimes high end and often rare stuff FREE [or close to it!]) and thus these Cape Cod as*hole's ~ most of them conservative Democrats ~ [with influential access] feel that just because they reside here they are somehow better than everybody else and the same rules/redneck values that apply to much of the country don't fly here [from major shipping companies to fast food and even most of those Cape Codder's that do open business here do so primarily/ONLY for status and power and not to make greenbacks or create a better community] didn't like my system getting and selling their junk, correction, stunning many rare, one-off finds sparking the rage on the online boards, and making me [a simple Schmuck] a killing on eBay [and no I'm not poor atleast not yet or by my standards but not rich either] - I feel that some tried to wield their political connections to start enforcing the loosely enforced town By-Law ([atleast as far as 13 years back if not more it wasn't enforced] which effectively shut my system down if atleast for only 2 months), anyway I got a couple of months to revaluate my position and thought about starting this site which requires no inventory, no hard goods to bog me down, no photo shoots, no listing, no sales, no personal "system", no packing and shipping, no feedback, no DSR liability, no work to keep me from a having a life, nothing expected and little offered (besides thanks, even if you are a conformist snob, god fearing Christian [For the record; I believe in god but only in conjunction with... =] and a web page for yourself if you feel the same as I do), just dignified bumming, and light duty site upkeep, (so all you other beggars can devote 100% of your time to slumming). If you give - I say thanks in advance for my self and/or for all the other type B's on my site (but if I/we don't email back, it's because I'm enjoying your money, taking trips, splurging, living out your dreams, and just too lazy to do so [and no; I don't drink, smoke, or use drugs, nor do I have any Credit Card debt like so many other folks as I don't believe in Credit Cards - not my style], just the plain and simple w/ some fluff is good enough for me :)

  So here I am (under a virtual bridge in a virtual tent [actually I lived in a real one for 26 seasons late Spring thru mid - late Fall nearly 9 years if stacked back to back, eventually upgrading to a insulation, working AC, heating, internet service via landline phone line, lighting, cable TV, phone, all in a upto 10' X 8' space] - this while I was working the hardest [now a cyberbum; I live in a yearound house still w/ my parents but better than the tent, for the last 3 years and mainly since the housing market was overpriced including yearound rentals but w/ the current housing downturn things are looking up - frankly I feel that a standard family ranch home with 2.4 acres of land shouldn't cost more than 5 grand or 15 tops in urban environments, but only a real nutcase would commit to a half a million dollar [or more] morgatage which is why foreclosures are so bad and as a result; I'm able to finally have a real roof over my head] Anyway work sucks [or atleast the manual labor I had to do for much of my life and unable to find employees; even at the local homeless shelter in my area and even for offers of 3 times payscale, piecework and cash at one point - no takers - there's no dignity in that - it's slavery pure and simple] Also being mostly healthy, white, tall (6' 4") and a guy w/ no kids [kids; especially young ones, drive me nuts, and I just don't want the responsibilities of parent hood ;] and probably the main reason I'm still single, educated enough to sign my name and create a website, I'm overqualified for Welfare, SSI and the like (and besides they are so cheap and only trickle about 8 grand per year tops if you're practically a vegetable!), and I can't seem to get any, I could rant all day and believe me there's a lot more to my story - but who has the time for that - rite?,

       Cheers;
