Also enjoyed the frugal podcast. I hope everyone has a good week of scavenging and sales.

Number of items listed this week: 3Just finished my worst sales week in the 3 years that I have been full time ebay selling. Not really sure why it was so slow except that I had been on 2nd week of vacation and mostly neglecting my store. I did hit the yard sales hard on Saturday and this week will be back to work and hopefully sales pick up. I hope everyone has a good week.

Number of items listed this week: 3I had a good week and especially nice since I am on vacation back in WI visiting family and going to baseball games. One of the best tips I learned here was keeping my store open and extending the handling time.
Hi BigSally, I am about a half hour from Rehoboth Beach. Nice area. The estate sales I have been to so far seem a little pricey. If it is something even remotely collectible or antique they usually overprice, but there is good stuff to be found at scavenger prices if you are willing to put in the time searching.
Where about are you located in Washington state? I have family out there in Ellensburg.
@Brian Treasures from Grandmas: I wish my inventory was unique but most of it is run of the mill thrift store stuff. I sell a lot of men’s clothing and shoes, and I am always on the lookout for any type of quality hard goods, collectibles/antiques that I can find. I actually have my entire operation in the basement: office, photo studio, receiving, packing, and of course inventory. It is kind of a luxury to have everything down there since I can sort of escape from it when I want to. Also creates a more harmonious living environment since my partner, altho very supportive, is not that interested or involved in the day to day operations.
Thanks Jay, I am fortunate to have an entire unfinished basement with over 1600 sq ft for all the junk/treasure.
