Love those Vintage 70s Advent speakers. Steve is truly a scavenger willing to re-foam, clean up and pack/ship these audio relics for a great sale price of $300!

Scavenger Life Episode 367: Every Day Could Be Your Day
The life of a scavenger affords certain mental luxuries, like waking up and thinking “I wonder what I will do/achive/find/sell today”, which isn’t always the way it is with a traditional job. It comes with it’s stresses and it’s not for everyone. Luckily, there are enough of us to chat about it here!

Scavenger Life Episode 366: How To Run A Small, Local Business
We decided to switch CSA farms this season to go with a more experienced, local business. As small business owners ourselves, we are super critical of others doing the same. How has running your eBay business changed your perspective on how other small businesses are run? We mention our past lives Videobloggering Before Youtube as researched and written about by Trine Bjorkmann Berry. I mentioned Cellhire European SIM cards, that you should not leave home without. There are also versions for many countries in Asia as well. Here is Ryanne’s GROSS BROWNIE recipe (it’s not gross, it’s awesome).

Scavenger Life Episode 365: Our Steady State Business
We like to think of our eBay store as a”steady state” business and our numbers over the years have reflected this to be right on. Also, eBay now has Amazon-like catalog pages for some types of items like books. Interesting?
