We’ve done a couple of the outlets around NYC. Do you find it’s pretty competitive? Ryanne almost got into a fight with a woman who claimed several bins as hers 🙂 She’d go through ans get what she wanted, the let others look inside.
Yeah, as frugal as we are, we always upgrade technology. Phones, computers, etc dont last past 5 years and still work well.
Thanks Mark. I had friends working on Wallstreet and although they’d tell funny stories, it sounded like a miserable life. They made a lot of money but were the worst managing their own funds. Seemed to always be broke 🙂
Where are you scavenging in NYC? Are you fighting it out in the thrift stores or street scavenging?
Guess it makes sense that your industrial items will start selling well since its tough for businesses to buy equipment.
We ordered a new expensive espresso maker and it’ll take at least two months to be delivered. If you had one for sale that could be shipped now, I would have bought it!
Video game sellers killed it this year. Just google “switch scalpers”. eBay and Amazon resellers have been snapping up all the new releases and reselling at huge profits.

But it sounds like used video game stuff also sells well as people are at home feeling nostalgic.
Hey if you have the space, keep buying that good stuff. Buying more than you sell is only an issue when the “stuff” hurts your quality of life.
It’s a cool vase.
The marking “made in the usa” looks familiar like Shawnee, Haeger, McCoy. But I dont recognize the style. Its like a fake Atzec copy that I’ve never seen before.
You could list it with a high price and wait for some of the collectors to message you with more info 🙂
Good to hear your check-in. We’re in the same boat with a big store and slow numbers. Do you still have people working for you?
I always enjoy your posts because it shows how deep and varied the collecting world is. And as Scavengers, we provide a service to those people looking for “the right thing”. So fascinating to hear about card breaking on youtube as a form of entertainment: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=card+breaking
Do you think card collecting will cool off, or is this now the normal state of things.
It was great meeting you Sharyn. Glad you could stop by our cafe.
We took the Amtrak to Florida several years ago in a Roomette car. I was really surprised how shabby Amtrak is. It’s a shame that train travel in the US isnt better.
Hey Peter. It’ll be difficult for anyone here to have much more info. Has she called eBay to discuss the matter? In our early days, we found that talking to a person made eBay realize we didnt have bad intentions.
Just curious: was she selling items she bought wholesale? Its a whole lot of diamonds and rhinestone.
Sellers either send us a label or their account number. If they’re requesting this option, they probably have done this many times before.
Label is the easiest because you dont have to go to a FedEx place to use the number.
This is helpful to see someone go deep into the specifics of listing. The real info starts here: https://youtu.be/Fi9yLOI2XFc?t=237
