I have always had a passion with selling items online. I sold my first item on eBay in 1995, before I could even drive a car.  I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Business MIS degree in December 2008 and an MBA from Oklahoma State in 2014.

Founded in 2010, Buyer’s Point has grown from selling one iPhone a week on eBay to doing over $1 Mil
