Jared Says for February 1999

Jared Says is where Jared will talk about his experiences, interesting items, or whatever peaks his interest each month. This month Jared talks about how the J-RED got going on the web.

"This is my initial venture into PC selling. Previously, I sold via my pickers network. It's organized on 3X5 cards containing wait-lists from people all around the US and Europe. An all paper system of personal connections."

"Later, through the prodding and support of my son and friends that I purchased a PC and started this web site to make it easier to reach the people I deal with and for new people to get introduced to me and my collectibles."

"In the fall of 98 I went to my 40th high school reunion. I had such a good time that I decided to add a section to the J-RED site for my classmates!"

"My intent for Jared Says is to pass on experiences, both mine and others, that may be helpful in your buying or selling. I am lucky to live in the heart of picking capitol of the USA: New England. Picking is good here because of  two things: attics and basements. Home owners have space to store and forget all kinds of things for years."
