eBay Scavengers Episode 14: Wendy and Mikey's eBay Lifestyle

Posted on 13:43 by Unknown
eBay as a lifestyle allows us a lot of freedom. We get to do other things like grow food!
Wendy and Mikey talk about what it's like living the eBay scavengers lifestyle. Sitting on the beach, but still selling stuff. Visiting new places and having the perfect excuse to explore a city through yard sales. Living in the waste stream can be extremely fun, satisfying and profitable.

Posted on 13:14 by Unknown
Even selling stuff that's broken can be a success on eBay. Full disclosure is the key!

Mikey and Wendy get real honest about what they should keep and what they should sell on eBay when they open their tool shed and it's filled up to the hilt. So far, so good- they've been selling tools, even broken ones, for a good profit. That's the beauty of eBay, it's one of the best recycling resources in the world.
