eBay My World: johnboydavies1973( 47)

My name is John and I am married, we have a two year old son who of course we adore, we have lots of fun going for walks and drawing together. I love to read and watch films, drawing, robots and woodwork. I've decided its time to sell and make space.

I am starting by selling my books I have read and been given, I also have films, computer games that have been used and are no longer needed that I will sell once I am up and running with the books.

I am terrible when it comes to books, I just enjoy reading so much I can't help it, when I see a book that is either written by authors I like or are the same sort of theme as I already have it just seems as though they call me and tell me to buy them, yes it does seem strange but that's how it feels and I should think there are other like me out there.

I have a few different hobbies that I like to do, reading is my main hobby, the subjects I read range from Classics to modern from adventure to sci-fi to fantasy. I also like art from drawing to making pictures with shapes I have cut from all sorts of coloured paper which is good as my son loves to have a good scribble and loves to fill a page with stickers or glue the shapes that I have cut. On top of those I like woodwork, gardening and learning about computers. I hope to improve my woodwork and make toys and decorative items.

I love reading and have always got a book on the go. I read books by Jules Verne, E.R.Burroughs, Ben Bova, John Wyndham, Keith Laumer, Enid Blyton, Douglas Adams, Alistair Maclean, Brian.M.Stableford, A.E.Van Vogi, Terry Pratchett, J.K.Rowling, H.G.Wells, Dan Brown, Arthur.Conan.Doyle. I enjoy modern to classic of themes like fantasy, sci-fi, adventure like, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, The Lost World, Galactic Odyssey, Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators (I have lots of these), The Florians, Orion, Where Eagles Dare, At the Earth's Core, Harry Potter.

My interests in films are the same as my interests in books. Films like Harry Potter, Independence Day, the Die Hard quadrilogy, the Jurassic Park Trilogy, Robo Cop, Willow, The Day of the Triffids, War of the Worlds.

Heroes, Merlin, Star Trek. I think cartoons and kids shows are great.

I would really like to carry on selling on ebay once I have gotten used to it. I would hope in the future to set up my own craft stall with things that I will make, there's lots to think about and learn before I could do this. It would be a dream come true to do well on ebay and the stall, its going to be hard work with mistakes on the way, but you learn by mistakes and the hard work pays off in the end and you can look back and feel proud of what you have achieved.

I am trying to describe the condition of the books I'm selling as best I can, there's no point in not telling the truth as to how they look because it would be unfair on the person who is interested in buying them. I have bought lots of books on ebay and I would have been disappointed if they weren't as described.
