Scavenger Life Episode 347: The $500 Experiment
Jay asks the people who want to be independent- how long does it take you to make $500 at your job? Would you work that hard for yourself to make $500 on eBay? Some listeners pointed us towards the Guaranteed Delivery dashboard, but it doesn’t seem to be fully working (click the Get Full Report link and you’ll see). You can also see which items need to be fixed to be included in Guaranteed Delivery, though they aren’t all showing up in search from what we can see. Hm.

Scavenger Life Episode 346: Frank Discussions. Gewgaws. Storage.
So we decided to leave in one of our “frank discussions” aka “almost an argument” just so people can hear how we talk things out in a rare, non-heated manner. This is how things keep going in our house! We also discussed an issue a few sellers were having where their active listings were showing up in Unsolds. Thank goodness people helped each other figure it out on the forum. This is the bluetooth FM transmitter/charger that we love.

Scavenger Life Episode 344: Decluttering and Auction Cravings
Since we got our new storage building, we’ve been on a quest to de-clutter our house. So far we sold our big 11 ft long Ikea sectional couch that we never cleaned behind and we made $200! Thanks Craigslist! Jay continues to obsess over food prep and bought these salad bowls so we can be cool like Chipotle. Carry on.

Whatever business we happen to be working on (eBay, rentals, video), the process is the same- lots of little steps and actions make the end goals a reality and pay your bills. Not glamorous, not always easy, not always fun, but always true.
