Interview with Canadian eBay Entrepreneur of the Year
This year’s eBay Canadian Entrepreneur awards were announced recently, and Toronto-based vintage t-shirt slinger James Applegath picked up a silver. Hundreds of eBayers enter the annual competition, now in its third year, vying for the $5000 top prize. Applegath received second place honor and $2000 for his eBay store, Defunkd.
Former proprietor of the Queen Street West club Nasa, Applegath now “stuffs envelopes for a living”. Stuffing them with wicked vintage concert tees, team jerseys, custom t-shirts, and even a bit of retro cotton for the dog. And doing it quite successfully. Applegath was also commended for his vintage buying guides, demonstrating his “commitment to authenticity”.
