Description
Trash to Cash- Buy cheap, sell high. A podcast about making a living on eBay.
http://ebayscavengers.com
We are two couples who live in different rural parts of the US. 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.

A couple weeks ago, Craig suggested an experiment. We really love his contributions here and appreciate his insight on how he runs he store. His suggestion? Run a 50% sale. I’m always skeptical of big sales since we don’t think our weird, vintage items are very price sensitive. Either someone wants them or they don’t. […]

lots of great info, good energy, but yes, please set up a pair of decent mics in a sound treated space.... the sound quality is far below the level of quality you're providing
I have Mint mobile. Have been on it for 2 months now. So far, so good. Very fair price!
It buys time. No way to put a dollar value on that!
Horrible sound and echo. A podcast depends on sound. Unsubbed.
happy birthday Jay :-)
I agree in the beginning when u initially start ebay ur excited. I was posting hard for the 1st 3 months and then stopped just like that. now I try to get back the rhythm on and off. But I enjoyed it, but now looking back I have regrets bc I feel like in many ways I got lazy, bc there's no excuse to just stop and not get back on track
great podcast for those seeking to learn how to make a living selling on eBay
