ventriloquistcentral-blogtalkradio

Our first time on Blog Talk Radio far exceeded both my and Steve’s expectations.

It was a lot of fun and I must tell you I enjoyed talking with everyone that called and got through. It was Steve’s first time and he had to handle everything on the technical side and it is a learning curve.

Here are a few comments from our first show:

 

Thanks guys! I was one of your callers and greatly enjoyed talking with you. This is such a great launch, and I hope that this way of building community will help us get to know each other better in addition to the WorldVents list. The back and forth of emails can’t compare with hearing and participating in conversation.

Keep it up!
Best wishes,
Rick Johnson

 

Hey Dan..even a dummy like me figured out how to listen today. Heard about 35 mins. , even with Steve’s technical problems, it was a great outing…..wrote to Steve as well….I’ll bet the next time you’ll have lots of call-ins….once the word gets out there…..congrats……..Bob Isaacson

 

That was a blast to listen to. I can see that when you get comfortable with the technology that the show will be a great asset to the community but even beyond that it was fun.

Loved it,

Hi Dan,I caught the last 45 mins of your call in show….nice job!
Phil

 

 

We know a lot of you were probably unable to listen, so here’s the replay:

 

 

 

I am sure our next one will go a lot smoother so please when we announce our next Blog Talk mark it on your calendar and call in.

Again my sincere thanks to all who called in and wrote questions too.

Sure Sign That You Are A True Collector

Posted on April 8, 2010 by Webmaster

I was sitting in the midst of the Ventriloquist Central Collection and it came to me that I was without question a collector of Ventriloquist Figures and not a dealer. You must remember that I was a true dealer of antiques for almost 30 years prior to becoming involved with the ventriloquist figures. I had no problem adding a profit on to what ever item I would purchase and then put it up for sale.

I did in fact sell a lot of ventriloquist figures when I first started because I was new to the item and to get more of them I had to sell. I quickly realized that I was buying and selling other antique items but I was not selling the figures. As matter of fact when I did sell a ventriloquist figure it really bothered me. I never had that happen with any other item I had ever bought.

Now the only time I will sell a ventriloquist figure is when I have purchased one as an upgrade so the lesser one I will put out for sale. Occasionally I will purchase some figures that I know will be sold and those to me are an exception to the collection.

I found that I have a craving and to satisfy that craving I must purchase another figure. The craving happens almost as soon as I have placed the newest acquisition into the collection. Is this called an addiction? It sure sounds like it because you just can’t satisfy the want . Even when I have acquire a new Marshall I get so excited because it is the maker I like best but as soon as I have it I want another. So that is the sure sign you are a collector. You buy to keep not to sell.

Mystery Ventriloquist – A Couple of Cowpokes

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Webmaster

mysteryvent04-07-10

We’ve gotten quite a bit of emails about the “Mystery Ventriloquists” but some complain that they’ve been difficult to figure out.

So, I thought we’d try someone a little easier, as in today’s mystery ventriloquist.

Any ideas???
