After a few months of hard work and late nights, Hog Nation Sales is officially live as of 6/7/24!! While we are finishing up doing some internal last-minute fixes and adding EVEN MORE inventory, we thought it was time to at least do a "soft opening" to test the system and let our patrons through the proverbial door.
I want to thank two people who helped me keep my sanity while this endeavor was happening. First, Komal at Mandasa Technologies for all his efforts in helping me build the structure of this site. With working a full-time job and putting Hog Nation Sales together, I was working many 16-20 hour days. Komal stepped in and repaired a lot of things around here that kept me from losing my mind. He will always be a big part of the Hog Nation sales family.
Next, and by no means least, my wife Paula. While managing a household and taking care of many of the things in everyday life, she put in a solid 10 hours a day logging inventory, taking photos, and creating listings on both our eBay store and our new home, Hog Nation Sales. Without her tireless efforts, none of this would been possible. The best thing she contributed was her patience. I'm lucky I don't end up in one of her Murder shows she loves so much.
Several others indirectly helped us put Hog Nation Sales together. Bob and Randy at Midway Coins & Collectibles, Ryan at CLE Auctions, and Stacks over at Stacks Comics for loads of inventory that you see in our Cards and Comics sections. Rodrigo at RACustom3D for some high-quality 3D printing, and YouCustomizeIt for helping me build a logo and create our t-shirts, decals, and signage. There are others that I am sure I am forgetting, but I truly thank you all.
Here's to the future. Now, let's get ready and throw a massive Grand Opening Sale!
