Scavenger Life

We had almost the exact same numbers of sales and profit as last week. eBay is sometimes weirdly consistent even with our extremely random store. We’ll take it.

Our best sale was a box of antique player piano rolls that we found in the garbage. They sat in our death pile for a year before we finally listed them…and then sold within a week. Always be listing.

We’re really enjoying everyone’s stories of their week. Ryanne says she doesn’t know if she needs to fix our categories. She’s too busy roasting coffee!

Our sales haven’t gotten back to where they were at the start of pandemic, but they’ve recovered. Guess people still want our weird, decorative items. Had a handful of $100 sales which is always nice. Our helper is now coming twice a week to take photos which helps us keep the pipeline filled. We’re really enjoying the conversations in the forum. Glad yo see everyone taking care of business!

We’ve been selling a lot of the weird, vintage stuff that we love finding. Old dishes, pocket knives, artwork, cigar boxes, skater shirts. Some of these items have taken more than a couple years to sell. Not for the weak spirited 🙂

Another solid week. Not too cold, not too hot. Lots of random items selling as always. It never ceases to amaze me. How was your week?

Sales slowed this week. Never know if its because of the overall dreary economic news or not. We keep listing.
