OK! We are behind the times in blogging and so are going to take off with a bang by introducing all of us here at Timeless Pieces.

Let me first introduce you to Sean & I by sharing this picture with you. We were at an eBay conference in Denver when this picture was taken. We have been doing eBay for nearly 7 years here in Kokomo, IN and have enjoyed serving our community each and every day. I will save the story of our opening and the roads that have led us to where we are now for the next post. Let me get on with introducing you to Sean. 

Sean is originally from Southern California and moved here 8 years ago. He was a life insurance agent with New York Life for 10 years before retiring 3 years ago in order to devote himself fully to our business. He is one of the funniest, smartest and most caring men I have ever met in my life and is the best business partner I could ask for. He is the Chief Financial Officer of Timeless Pieces, the eBay Shipping Guru, our in house Comic, Baseball, Toy, Glass....well...just about any topic expert. The running joke around here is "Ask Sean, he'll know". Not only does he play those roles but he is a master at the front of the house, he moves furniture, he buys and sells and he gives his heart to all who walk in the door.

Kris is a born and bred Hoosier.  Having spent her whole life here in Kokomo, Kris' knowledge of the community's history leaves her expertly positioned to take care of all the folks who come in.  Kris has an extensive history in different arenas here locally so many recognize her face upon entering the store or her voice when she does our weekly radio shows.  Kris is the heart and soul of the auction and fundraising arms of the business.  Her loving smile and rapier wit are characteristics to enjoy as you peruse the store looking for your treasures.  She is always quick to look something up for you on eBay or talk to you about one of our upcoming onsite auctions.  You can usually see her behind her big desk in the front of the house until she leaps to her feet to assist you.

Let's take a moment and meet Kris's brother Bill Biehle who moved back to Kokomo, IN from Atlanta, GA after having lived there for nearly 25 years. He came back to help care for their parents and to become a part of the business with Sean and Kris once they started in their newest 11,000 sq ft location. Bill pretty much runs the floor of the antique mall meaning his duties are pretty varied. He takes care of a large amount of the paperwork for the front of the building, he handles the staging in the store and he is the best at customer service. He is a great salesman with an even greater sense of humor and is a fantastic addition to the team. Everyone who comes in gets great service and care from Bill because he wants to make sure your trip to Timeless Pieces is the best it can be!

Next on the hit parade is Gregg Schlie who is a recent graduate of Purdue University and has been a wonderful addition to the team. He came on board to do eBay for us 9 months ago and to be our video/photography go to guy. We always tease about him because it looks like he is never moving, never getting his feathers ruffled but MAN can the man work some magic on eBay! He does all of our video for auctions and whatever else we need we seem to need. He is adaptable, flexible, funny and a great worker. You may see him from time to time at the front of the house helping out with sales and booth dealers but mostly you will find him in the back offices and you can always find his work in our eBay store.

Last but not least is Andy Eicholz (with the shop bunny, Houdini) who has been with us longer than anyone. He actually has his office in our shop which can be found right here at Andy's Computers. Now Andy will tell you that when Sean and Kris hired him he was brought on for data entry....but considering his first day with us was loading a U haul in the middle of a thunderstorm....well...enough said about that. Andy is our all around go to guy and has become a great friend as well. If you need computer services he comes highly recommended from not only the staff at Timeless Pieces but also many, many satisfied customers.

And there you have it, the staff at Timeless Pieces! We are here to serve you in all of your eBay, Auction and Antique Needs. Stay tuned for the next post where we will go into a bit more depth about what we all do here!
