We had a much better week. Pretty consistent sales. We also sold a lot of weird items we’ve had for a while. Those are the best sales.
We talk about our concept of “slow business” which is a totally cheesy, but relevant, twist in the whole Slow Movement https://goo.gl/lQCT45.
“It is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed. Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.”
As we continue to sell on eBay and invest in rental property, we’re trying to make sure every step of the way feels sustainable. There’s no hurry at all. Death is coming no matter what we do. In the past, we were always looking for a sense of purpose and family in our work environments which was rare to find. But the purpose of corporations, companies, and businesses isn’t to make us feel secure or give us individual purpose. This is why we’re creating it for ourselves the best we can. We keep building our lives one pair of old shoes at a time.

We live in rural America, and we are Scavengers — especially when it comes to making money on eBay by selling items we find in or near the waste stream, at auctions, yard sales and thrift stores. This allows us to avoid full time jobs, which gives us more time to scavenge and enjoy our lives. It’s a positive reinforcing cycle.
We are eBay Top Rated + Power Sellers. Each week we post a couple 1 hour long podcasts sharing stories about our eBay selling. We welcome all questions and stories of your own eBay experiences. Sharing helps make us all better Scavengers. Call us now! 540 407 8486
