Great Vintage Matchbook Lot sale by Steve. The pinups are certainly valuable, but regular ones can be too!
Scavenger Life Episode 363: Scavenging Off The Joneses
Last week we talked about not “keeping up with the Joneses” and a listener had a much better way of putting it- Scavenging off the Joneses. We love that idea. That along with Jay’s 45th birthday and a visit with some older neighbors, our take away for the week (month, year, life) is to do what you want right now, don’t wait until you have “retired” to make it happen. We couldn’t have said it better.
Dan from Melbourne, Australia pointed us to a program that eBay is testing in Germany and Australia called eBay Plus. It’s basically eBay’s version of Amazon Prime. Wonder if they’re pushing free returns to make way for the program in the US? Seems like it.
This is the Keto Instant Pot Cheesecake Recipe that I love. Instead of using a springform pan, I used these in little 4 oz mason jars as ramikins.

Scavenger Life Episode 362: Scavengers Are Always Prepared To Clean Out A Basement
We happened to stumble upon a full on basement clean out of a friend’s defunct business downtown. Happy to help, we joined the group to organize, sort, donate, dump and ultimately scavenge and sell all their unwanted stuff. We live for moments like these!
We mentioned eBay’s Summer Seller Update. Amazon banning buyers who abuse returns too much. Also, we love this little bluetooth FM transmitter for listening to podcasts in the car.

Steve is surely achieving his dream of selling fewer items for more money. Good job, keep it up!
Scavenger Life Episode 360: Is Diversification a Myth or Reality?
A big conversation on the forums this week was about diversifying our stores by selling on other sites like Etsy, Bonanza and Mercari. But being on other platforms still takes work, it’s not a magic bullet. Work on one platform takes time away from work on another. Your profit won’t double, most likely it will just stay the same. What do you think?

Scavenger Life Episode 359: Painful Evolution
We turned on Free Returns hoping eBay will help us fight frivolous INAD cases. There was no fighting it. Not fun, but not avoidable. How about you?
