With several kids, it makes sense to be insured as you are. A good nights sleep is well worth it.

Ryanne loves to part out old electronics. Important its fun but always seem to be profitable if you’re patient. Roombas are a good investment.

If someone just loves to buy and keeps throwing junk in a corner of the room (taking over the house), no amount of “Ill sell it all one day” removes the stink of a hoarder.
07/28/2020 at 12:20 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 473: Does Insurance Make You An Adult? #80052You are really cranking along these days. How long has it been since you quit that IT support job at the college?
07/28/2020 at 12:20 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 473: Does Insurance Make You An Adult? #80051Yep, we got term life insurance. $1400/yr for 20 years. If neither of us die, we get nothing. If one of us dies, its $250k each. Its the lottery you hope you dont win.
Assume there’s no marking? A quick google search didnt bring up any reason to think a glass wih three feet has a special use.
But maybe someone here might know.

07/27/2020 at 6:18 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 473: Does Insurance Make You An Adult? #79998Nice haul. It’d be expected that some of it will be unsellable. Where are you storing that much stuff?
07/26/2020 at 8:29 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 473: Does Insurance Make You An Adult? #79994I submitted my dad’s discharge papers from WWII and they accepted it for the military discount.
That’s some super smart scavenging.
07/26/2020 at 8:28 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 473: Does Insurance Make You An Adult? #79993How were you able to buy out someone’s estate for $300 (including moving fees!?) Thats a great deal.
07/26/2020 at 4:30 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 473: Does Insurance Make You An Adult? #79984You guys have really hot then jack pot in what you scavenge. $4k in a week!
I’ve learned to not worry about if I’m “too old” to do certain things. Anytime I’ve tried to do something that didn’t feel right, it usually ended badly.
As a buyer, I expect the seller to get it to me. Its a common sense expectation.
As a seller, if we’re worried about an item, we charge/pay for priority shipping+ insurance.
Assume this hat was cheap so you decided to take a risk to sell the item. USPS First Class usually always arrives fine. Maybe we lose out 1 in 500 packages. Cost of doing business.
I’d keep being polite and ask for patience. You can always send links to an article like this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/postal-package-deliveries-bogged-down-with-delays-backlogs-11590836400 Assure them that you’ll be responsible if the package never arrives (because you are).
The buyer has to force a refund by going through eBay. That’ll buy you some time to go through that process.
I know there have been some Vegas folks come through here. Not sure if anyone is regular.
