When we started selling on eBay, it was 2008 when banks were collapsing across the country and hundreds of thousands of people were losing their homes. We didn’t own much of anything. eBay was a way to make some money in a rural community. Fifteen years later, banks are collapsing again. I’m not educated enough […] The post The Numbers: March 12-18, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Let’s talk numbers. We have about 9300 items for sale on eBay. 18 items sold this week. 5 of those sold items were over $30. This week is a new week. A couple podcast listeners stopped by our cafe to say hi. Unfortunately we weren’t there. You can always send us an email to let […] The post The Numbers: March 5-11, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

It was a normal steady week for us on eBay. We sold two broken appliances (aka “for parts”) which is always fun. I’m glad to see there’s a desire to fix broken items, especially when they may not be available anymore. When we first started the podcast in 2008 and posting our weekly numbers, we […] The post The Numbers: February 26 – March 4, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

A slow week. We sold sixteen items. A buyer purchased a $250 painting that would have saved the week…but the person immediately cancelled. Ooof. Hey, it’s the end February and Spring is coming.

No job is guaranteed but a steady paycheck is nice if you have a job. Since we don’t work traditional jobs, we do not have steady pay checks or “guaranteed money”. Instead we depend on “cashflow” which can make projecting for the future tricky. Whatever we sell that week on eBay, or renting, or in […] The post The Numbers: February 5-11, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Winter is mostly slow for us. Fewer people traveling to our rentals. Fewer people in our cafes. Fewer yard sales and flea markets to scavenge. But we’re still plenty busy getting ready for the Spring. Ryanne sold her car on eBay to a guy who drove from 12 hours away to pick it up.

Good week of sales for us. With all the talk of a looming recession, we’ll take it. We’re currently trying to prepare for any downturn by being as frugal as comfortable and working smart. Always nerve racking running businesses when you don’t know what the future will bring! We did sell our beloved 1996 Acura […] The post The Numbers: January 22-28, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Our best sale this week was a lot of antique cotton flour sacks for $170. We went to a big yard sale that was closing. The flour sacks were in a garbage bag about to be thrown away. Each had printing on them of a local company. We bought the bag for $1, Nice 🙂 […] The post The Numbers: January 15-21, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

A little quieter week for us but still plenty of sales. Our helper is graduating this Spring so we’re determining if she wants to continue or we find a new person to help take photos. It’s difficult finding the right person who’s self-motivated and interested in photographing old, weird items. But if you find the […] The post The Numbers: January 8-14, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

We spent the week in NYC and are heading home soon. Been a great time to relax and scavenge. Even though our store was on Time Away, we had great sales. Several high dollar sales of $600 (mid century wooden horse), $175 (leather jacket), $225 (vintage glass ornament), $105 (antique calling card). These are all […] The post The Numbers: January 1-7, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Happy New Year! As we wander the streets of NYC, enjoying the rhythm of city life, I realize how scavenging has become deeply habit for us. No matter where we go, we’re always looking at what’s being left out or thrown away. We have no shame, embarrassment, or hesitation when digging into a pile of […] The post The Numbers: December 25-31, 2022 appeared first on Scavenger Life.
