Steve was happy to sell his vintage Magnavox Concert Grand console for $700. A nice sale and it clears out a space for some more hip, vintage furniture!
Scavenger Life Episode 328: Chaos vs Stress, There is a difference in life and business
This week we talk about the difference between dealing with stress and living a chaotic life. If you run your own business, stress happens. Good news is that individual stressful issues are usually easy to fix. But if you live a chaotic life, then trying to fix little issues won’t help until you get to the core of the chaos. Confused? Just listen to our arm chair psychology and see if it jives with your life experience.
Check out the eBay Fall Update where they talk about “Free Returns” and other fancy changes.

Steve does great with a Vintage Halloween Mask (perfect timing too!). They’re a great buy when you can find one, can’t say we ever have, so keep your eyes peeled.
Scavenger Life Episode 327: Dealing With Stress Traveling, In Life and On eBay
Traveling can be super fun and exciting, but for some of us, that comes with a bit of stress and anxiety. This is a lot like making a living on eBay rather than having an office job, it just comes with the territory. Anything new and unknown can cause stress. We dive into that while sitting in a little cabin in the Arctic Circle of Norway.
We’ve been using Cell Hire Data SIM cards that we bought on Amazon for Google Maps, fielding ebay questions/offers and running our Airbnb. The great thing is, they work in every country we’ve driven through. Brilliant!
We also talk about eBay’s new link policy emails that were super confusing because they talked about contact info violations. What?
We updated ShampooAndBooze.com where we go into depth about finishing the house renovation. Check it out.

What Sells On eBay: Christian Dior sunglasses, Bose speakers, Lucchese boots, Artists pochade box, GE Wildcat record player
Lucchese (pronounced loo-kay-zee) boots may sound like they’re from Itlay, but their maker was from Texas of Italian descent. Either way you shake it, they’re a great find an they always sell!
Scavenger Life Episode 326: What Is A Scavenger Vacation?
Hey, we’re in Europe! We contemplate what it means to be able to have four weeks away and trek around like non-fancy, fancy people. What does it mean to be scavengers and go on vacation? How do you stay frugal to the extreme, but also enjoy Europe? We try to answer that. And answer/respond to your many, lovely voicemails! Hope you’re having a great week. We’re thinking of all y’all in Florida during Irma. Stay strong.

What Sells On eBay: Stereos, Model cars, CPR Anytime trainer, Vintage Starburst clock, HP calculator, Winter overalls, Men’s cologne
Steve has the same technique as us when selling an item hanging on his wall- price VERY high and be willing to part with it. Beautiful, mid century modern starburst clock sold for $500, that’s the right price!
Scavenger Life Episode 325: New Rental Done, Now Hopping On A Plane!
Jay shares a list of all the stuff that happened in the last few weeks since we posted a proper podcast. So much stuff! The biggest being that we finished our rental and it’s on Airbnb ready to rent when we come back from our trip. Hope you’re having a great week!
