this is a cool idea. i would worry about someone blaming you if a shipper damaged the item in transit though, even if you packed it really well.
not sure we can PM on this forum, but you can email us and we can chat there TheScavengerLife@gmail.com. thanks!
i was also going to say that we would buy it from you if you wanted to remove the Polo label to sell by itself (if that makes sense). we have funky collection of vintage/antique house design books that we like to look to for inspiration when renovating.
that looks internal for sure. they must have a library for designers, or they did before the internet. where did you get it?
it’s an interesting breakdown, but we still sell a variety of stuff on ebay every day. here is what we sold today–
Vintage Salt Pepper shaker, Vintage Drag Racing hat, Vintage 1979 Tea Towel Calendar, Vintage Worlds Fair glass tumblers, Vintage jacket, jeans, nike shirt, vintage wood box.
so there is a good mix of items with some clothes thrown in there too. i feel it’s just all about listing and being willing to change things up time to time when you start to get bored.
love that show (series)! “you’re a metal detector?” “no, i’m a metal detectorist”. YES!
update on Santa payment, buyer messaged us (after unpaid item claim opened and personal appeal email sent) saying he would pay today. as of 1pm no payment, but i’m hoping that changes!
another lost post!–

While I was listening to the podcast you will be happy to know I was meal prepping. We eat 99% at home. Cabbage (both green and purple), is totally scavenger food. Cheap, filling, super low carb (We do low carb), and high in nutrients. I make a huge salad (with my super cool 4.00 garage sale spiralizer) which does not wilt and I make my own dressing. And we shop locally grown at the farmer’s market because it’s VERY high quality food for which you would pay much more at Whole Foods, saves on doctor bills and helps local farmers at the same time — totally scavenger!
Christine R, we are in Sylmar and had to evacuate for the fires last week. Are you in the SF Valley? Just curious. It was crazy here for several days but we managed to get things shipped.
We sold a pair of vintage windows this week for $90.00 that we got for free on Craig’s list. The buyer is picking them up tomorrow. I picked up four more free vintage windows last night, we’ll see how they do.
And this weekend I picked up a cast iron boot scraper cat for $3.00. I could not find anything I wanted but in the garden was this rusty cat so I asked it was for sale. Guys says, “sure why not, 3.00.” I get home and it turns out to be an antique worth about $300.00. I listed it right away. Now we will see how that goes.
Thanks for your podcast and your amazing help.
Good health to all of you,

yes asking for a return is opening a case. that sucks! i didn’t know that was possible. hmmm
hey, as soon as this guy pays, i’m more than happy to custom make a box for this 36″ item, for sure!
dang, that’s pricey! but yeah, big items need a handling charge, even if you are packing them yourself. i’m still learning this lesson, trust me, i forget too.
