“I want to bring joy. Believe in yourself and be your number one fan.”

Marco Braun (@eyespyantiques) was born in the year of our lord and savior Taylor Swift, 1989. And to double his good fortune, he was born on the most perfect date, April 25th - “It's not too cold, it's not too hot, all you need is a light jacket.” With a birth date like that and the “homosexual audacity that leads Marco to believe he possess any and all required skills to complete whatever project he’s set his mind to, despite having no previous experience in that particular craft,” Marco always knew he was destined to sell dead people's shit online while making silly videos about it. As described by People Magazine, yes this actually happened, Marco is an “antique salesman,” (cue Musical Theater fast patter song about antiques).

Marco has found a passion and love for helping vintage items that were once destined to the landfills to be used as weapons by the mole people, but now be given a second life of glory on a bookcase until another gay man like Marco in 75 years wakes up at the ass crack of dawn to put his name on a list to get inside an estate sale and beat up old ladies for that one vintage item that was once sold by famed antique salesman Marco Braun who was born on the most perfect date, April 25, 1989.
