Thrift stores make sense because its all donated items. They can eat loss.
Grocery stores have sliiiiiiim margins. Those cost cutting accountants will rue the day they decided to cut workers.
I told the supervisor my surprise that they didn’t go to 100% self checkout. She said that after the store 10 miles away did that, their own store’s business increased over 10%. Apparently they’ve gotten the message loud and clear that a large portion of customers don’t like self checkout and will go way out of their way to another wal-mart (or other retailer) to not use it.
The rumor is that our rural walmart is going 100% self checkout. I like it when I have 20 items or less. Its horrible if you have a huge cart of items.
Its so important to take time off and recharge. Time Away isn’t perfect but it does allow eBay sellers to keep selling while taking a break. Much much better than how it was before when we had to “hack the system” to keep sales going.
It seems all platforms are now asking for info for tax purposes. Unless its cash on Facebook/CL, there’s no free money anymore. Even Venmo is beginning 1099 people.
I also hate scavenging when it’s total chaos. Thus is why I hate the Goodwill bins where people fight over the bins….and I like auctions where everyone has a chance to be the highest bidder for the whole table. Its also why I like scavenging at the places everyone else overlooks.
Give me the long tail with a promise any day.
Since every platform wants different info in different formats, I wonder how they can seamlessly sync stores.
I should read all the rules, but if you don’t mind being our guide…
–Do the points ever expire as long as you keep using the card for shipping? Curious if you could save up a big chunk of points for a fancy vacation.
This is why I love the forum. We’re signing up since we love Hampton Inn when we travel.
Does the credit card recognize Pirate Ship, eBay, etc? Any weird hacks you have to do to get it to register 6x the points?
Definitely vintage. Dont know the mark. Does it feel quality? In the 1970s there were a lot of knock-off Danish Modern pieces produced in the USA.
We also love the opporuntity to travel for scavenging. Especially in our early days, we’d always look for evening auctions if we visited a new town. Gave us a reason to meet people. Our relatives always thought we were crazy when they’d see us drive to their homes with carloads of stuff. Its not the way most people spend vacation.
Ryanne spent the weekend in South Plainfield, NJ for a professional coffee workshop. Sounds li ke that’s definitely not the garden part of the garden state.
Are you now living full time in Florida? I forgot where you were in your journey?
We installed a new 150 foot sewer line directly into the town’s system. We bypassed the 100 year old cast iron pipe that had a break in it. We should be good for at least my lifetime!
Sounds like one of those weird little blind spots that eBay has. Im surprised the person who purchased at the military base didnt already know the answer. Maybe they were hoping they could just get the cheaper shipping.
