B.A. Toys set a brisk pace of expansion. From 0 to $300,000USD annual revenue in 5 years’ time. Before we go into that though, here's the real story of how B.A. Toys started. This story has never been shared online, until now. The owner of B.A. Toys is a private person and not one for attention. The story, though long, is followed up by our philosophies, methods, and realistic future feature developments to our already working platform, rather than over-the-top technological theories.

Ever heard one of those cliche stories about businesses starting from a hobby That's literally how B.A. Toys came into existence. In 2009, Jeremy Buse was laid off from his regular construction job as a heavy equipment operator due to the 2009 housing bubble in the USA. In the aftermath of the housing bubble crash, he faced losing his job, main residence and two other houses. After going nearly a year with no work, he was reduced to near nothing. In 2010, with the construction job market being in shambles and nothing on the horizon, he decided to try selling some of his collectibles online.

After selling several collectibles on eBay, he decided that his lifelong hobby of collecting toys, figures, sports cards, you-name-it, would be a catalyst for him to start a toy website and at least give it a try. After thinking about it, nervously, for TWO whole days(lol), he decided he would have a go at it. He would try to bootstrap a startup and pray that it might meet even marginal success. He paid $19.99 for Badasstoysforbadassboys.com web-hosting and proceeded "trying" to learn how to code and publish a website, himself.
