Scavenger Life

Since we got our new storage building, we’ve been on a quest to de-clutter our house. So far we sold our big 11 ft long Ikea sectional couch that we never cleaned behind and we made $200! Thanks Craigslist! Jay continues to obsess over food prep and bought these salad bowls so we can be cool like Chipotle. Carry on.

Whatever business we happen to be working on (eBay, rentals, video), the process is the same- lots of little steps and actions make the end goals a reality and pay your bills. Not glamorous, not always easy, not always fun, but always true.

We had a great time in NYC visiting family, scavenging and relaxing. But we’re excited to be home to get back to the work of listing, listing, listing (and selling, of course). Don’t forget to look for your eBay Shipping supplies coupon for this quarter here. Happy New Year!
