Scavenger Life

Ryanne has strep throat, so this is going to be the rare week where we don’t post a podcast. You probably heard my sick voice last week when we recorded in NYC, but Ryanne caught whatever I had ten times worse and lost her voice. Thankfully she can relax and rest up since we work for ourselves.

So let’s just have an Open Thread so everyone can talk about their week. We had one of our best weeks of the Summer. With school starting, it feels like possibly we’re at the start of rising sales as holiday season is just around the corner. Now is the time to list!

Running a business can be complex, stressful and take up all your time. But should it be complicated? eBay’s Fall Seller Update came out with no real big surprises, thanks goodness. We transferred all of our second store listings to our main store with InkFrog and it was a challenge, but in the end it worked perfectly. Our last week in NYC, scavenging, visting family and getting our fill of urban vacation.
