I list on the an iPhone 6+ but the Gallery box has never been checked. Perhaps an app reboot might fix that.

• Cost of items purchased this week $145Thankful for slow sales as I’m getting organized after the move. It’s a challenge to find things right now but I want to do it right the first time. Right now I’m listing big items or parts off of big items to get hem out of the way.
Now that all my unlisted stuff is in the same room, it really keeps me from scavenging more but old habits are are hard to break. I saw a rare Technics Quadraphonic 8-track recorder on CL and stopped into my favorite pawn shop and picked up a Dual turntable for $20.
My new mailman is great, he picks up about 1:00 and is more than happy to take my packages, no scheduling necessary.

I haven’t listed this week as I’m still organizing after an exhaustive move, only across town but with 700+ listed items and thousands of unlisted treasures I would not trust with the movers it took all week.
It sure is nice to have separated the home from the business.

My son, daughter in law and GF are in Peru, I stayed home to move. I would have loved to fill my empty suitcases with items from Lima’s garment district.02/01/2017 at 6:16 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Stetson Fedora, Leather Messenger Bag, Doc Marten Mary Janes, Bentwood Box #11608I have a nice copy of Dark Side, it has a minor warp though. Do people still buy them like that? Can you de-warp a record?
I like the album but I have it on 8-track as well.My cat will play for hours with a small square of styrofoam.

• Cost of items purchased this week $50Customer issue, I had to throw $12.50 at the guy who bought a TV converter for $25. He said it made his TV buzz. Converter was new in the box, 1 of 2 I paid $2 for. He was a nice guy and even said that the partial refund was up to me and he wouldn’t leave negative feedback either way, he left me a good positive.
01/22/2017 at 7:44 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 294: Finding the Valuable Caches and Going All In #10895Great sale on the foot pedal. It was a switch for a Roland guitar amp.
I’m in the process of moving, the house I bought has a three stall heated garage/shop in the backyard so now my house will be my home and my business is just a few step walk across the patio.
I’m already moving some stuff over there, can’t wait until next week when it’s all done and I’m no less ne’er tripping over stuff or rearranging my house to photograph a stereo.01/19/2017 at 5:46 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Record stands, Lava Lamp, Jackets, 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair Lamp, Hot plate #10730See above about packing and I charge for shipping.
01/18/2017 at 10:45 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Record stands, Lava Lamp, Jackets, 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair Lamp, Hot plate #10675I get this plastic backed foam material from the Ford dealer, it’s about a 1/4″ thick and works great for all kinds of things. I use it to wrap the stands and then just stuff it in a box with styrofoam to fill in any gaps.
So far so good, I’ve shipped these all over the world.01/18/2017 at 3:49 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Record stands, Lava Lamp, Jackets, 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair Lamp, Hot plate #10655Space pen! Reminds of that Seinfeld episode. “No, you keep it Jerry”.
01/18/2017 at 2:00 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Record stands, Lava Lamp, Jackets, 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair Lamp, Hot plate #10642I know right? Just about everything else though.
Hey, there’s still time, maybe when I’m a bit older and won’t want to travel window pane will be an easier trip -
