Our big sale this week was a commercial dishwasher. We purchased it used, had it in our cafe the last two years, and then sold it for a profit after the cafe needed an upgrade. Nice! Otherwise, we still had some nice steady sales. Curious see if Fall and holiday season bring more sales this […] The post The Numbers: Week of September 3-9, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

It happened about 6pm. “Uh oh, ” I said “We just sold a $1500 purse.” This should be great news. Why shouldn’t we be over the moon to sell a vintage Chanel purse? Because if you’ve sold on eBay long enough, you know that large purchases are fraught with “problems”. The buyer had sent an […] The post The Numbers: Week of August 27-September 2, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

An incredibly slow week for us on eBay. Our favorite sale was a washing machine part that Ryanne pulled out of a broken washer. Otherwise, mainly low dollar items and clothes. Good news is this inventory cost us almost nothing. Running a brick and mortar is different than eBay in many ways…but we do get […] The post The Numbers: Week August 20-26, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Did you know that Costco branded clothes is popular among the youth? I guess you’d call it normcore? We found a pair of Costco sweatpants that we sold for over $55. I can’t remember something we’ve scavenged that has surprised us like this. We do like the $1.50 hotdog drink combo. Otherwise we’re cranking along.

Our highest sold item was a sink faucet we recently scavenged for free. A woman posted locally about needing to do a clean out and willing to give away stuff if we picked it up. We arrived in our truck and loaded furniture, home goods, ladder tools, etc. We’ve sold almost $1000 of items in […] The post The Numbers: Week August 6-12, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Our big sale experiment is over. With a 50% sale, we doubled our normal transactions for one week…but then quickly came back down to earth this week. What did we take from the experiment? –In a 10,000 item store, some items are price sensitive. –Running a deep sale is like doing steroids. The juicing gives […] The post The Numbers: Week July 30 – August 5, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

A couple weeks ago, Craig suggested an experiment. We really love his contributions here and appreciate his insight on how he runs he store. His suggestion? Run a 50% sale. I’m always skeptical of big sales since we don’t think our weird, vintage items are very price sensitive. Either someone wants them or they don’t.

Things are selling. That’s good news. Shoes and cooking pots and wooden drawer knobs and old software and vintage xmas cards and weird folk art and used t-shirts and camo gift wrapping paper. It’s wild. No one but you and us would believe you can make money off this stuff. Most people would have just […] The post The Numbers: Week July 16-22, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

For anyone still keeping up on this adventure, we’re currently in the “passive selling” mode of our eBay store. For the past two or three months, we’ve been busy working on other projects. Haven’t been listing much and very little active scavenging. Good news is that things keep selling. Over the fifteen years of selling […] The post The Numbers: Week July 9-15, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

We’ve been enjoying reading the “Scavenge of the Week” that Craig started. Going out and never knowing what you’ll find really is then lifeblood of this lifestyle. Retro Treasures is still at the top of his game when it comes to finding caches of treasures. I know when we go out flea market, thrift store, […] The post The Numbers: Week July 2-8, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Boy was eBay slow for us last week. Sloooooooow. Probably our slowest week since we started selling in 2008. Very few items sold and most low dollar. Good news is we already surpassed last week yesterday. Ups and downs. Ryanne has now trained two roasters to handle daily coffee roasting for our business. We’ve quintupled […] The post The Numbers: Week June 25 – July 1, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

Last week was good for us on eBay. This week (so far) is deadly slow. We’ve been very busy on a couple non-eBay projects that we may post here soon enough. Good news is our cafe is having a phenomenal summer, likely because we’re a known quantity now in our town. Locals know we’re open […] The post The Numbers: Week June 18-24, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.

This past weekend was Ryanne’s bday! We spent a couple nights in Richmond, VA which is only a couple hours from us, but a city we’ve never explored. It’s definitely a cool little city. Met a scavenger who dropped by our cafe to say hi. Nice to see people in real life after doing the […] The post The Numbers: Week June 11-17, 2023 appeared first on Scavenger Life.
