How did Retrosellers.com come about?
On January 1st 1962, Dick Rowe, Head of Decca Records
UK, auditioned the Beatles but turned them down, signing the
Tremeloes instead. WHOOPS!
Decades later, we all know better than poor old Dick; and,
in recent times, the interest in all things nostalgic and retrospective
has exploded into a thriving worldwide industry. Whether you're
selling music, fashion, books, furniture, cars or celebrity
material, there is an avid target market out there, ranging
from the original trend-setters to their children (and grandchildren!).
History is famously known to repeat itself, especially if it's
wearing platform shoes, drainpipe trousers or a feather boa.
Forty years after Dick's historic bloomer, 2002 saw the launch
of retrosellers.com. The site serves as a 'one-stop' portal/directory
of all the best nostalgia and retro businesses around the world.
retrosellers.com is the brainchild of David Barnes, creator
of the renowned 1960s British Pop Culture website which was Yahoo's 'Pick of the Week' in 2001 and of which America's
Entertainment Weekly wrote: ""Shagadelic" doesn't
even begin to describe this Union Jack-filled tribute to swinging
London and the British Invasion….Yeah, baby!" Of the
hundreds of e-mails David has received on a monthly basis, most
have been seeking information, especially on product relating
to the 'sixties and to the preceding and following decades.
The volume of enquiries pointed to an urgent need for a custom-made
site to bring enthusiastic buyers and specialist retailers together.
