"Hello Ebayers, Sadly I have to report that Dad has had a Stroke, even though he and I are in this EBay venture together 50-50, Dad runs the whole thing. I originally closed the store for 2 weeks but Dad will not be coming home till sometime after the first of the year. I' m trying to convince him to let me open the store, No luck just yet. I did start my career at Western Electric 1977 - 1982 and retried from AT&T in 2011 so I have some knowledge of this stuff. I will keep you updated but for now the Store will stay closed till I can convince Dad otherwise. THANK YOU"
I am saddened to hear about your dad. I bought a few item from his ebay store.
Prayers & best wishes for your Dad's recovery.
It seems that this was posted on eBay by a separate eBay seller, not John. I modified the post to reflect that.
