Scavenger Life Episode 317: Scavenger Executives Scavenger Life
Published on Jul 3, 2017
We decided to take a mini "vacation" and rent a hotel room in the next big city over from us for a couple nights. We got a deal online, needed to do some stuff in town, so why not? Of course we still recorded the podcast! Just another reminder, if noreply@scavengerlife.com is sending your forum emails to spam, please unmark them as spam and your email provider should re-recognize our emailer. We're working on a better fix, but for now, this is the best we can do!
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
July for me got off to a great start in terms of my ebay sales. I did not sell anything on July 1 but from July 2, 2017 to July 4, 2017, I did a total of $407.35 in ebay sales when I sold a total of 13 troy oz's worth of silver art bars and silver coins (Average of approx. $31.34 per 1 troy oz of silver). My biggest net profit maker during that time span was from a 2014 ATB Arches 5-oz .99 silver bullion coin that I sold for $155 on July 3 for a net profit of just over $21. After factoring in ebay fees, paypal fees and shipping, I made a total net profit of just over $70 during that July 2 - July 4 time span. I am satisfied with it. At this point, I do expect my sales to drop since the July 4 weekend is over. A few sales will trickle in between now and the end of August. Maybe my sales will pick up during the Labor Day weekend in September (Sept. 1 to Sept.4). I tend to do better on holiday weekends.

Maybe my sales will pick up during the Labor Day weekend in September (Sept. 1 to Sept.4). I tend to do better on holiday weekends.
I made another $33 in total net profit (profit after ebay fees, paypal fees and USPS shipping costs) for yesterday (July 5) and today (as of 10:43 PM July 6). That brings my total ebay net profit to $103 so far for this week (week of July 2, 2017 to July 8, 2017). I had 5 straight days of ebay sales to start off the month of July. Total sales for this weeks (started on July 2, 2017) as of 10:43 PM Thursday, July 6, 2017 now stands at $675.56 with a total of 22 troy oz's worth of silver art bars and silver coins sold (Average of approx. $30.71 per 1 troy oz of silver).
Hopefully I can keep my streak alive for this week buy making a sale for tomorrow (Friday July 7). Despite spot silver continuing to drop to under $16, my ebay sales have been strong so far. I will have to see how the rest of tonight and the rest of this week (ending on Saturday July 8) goes to see how this week ends up in terms of total net profit for the week. So far, I am very happy with how things are going.

NEW Pickup Truck Crane Install, Buying Gas at the Scrap Yard?? Huge Non-Ferrous Scrap Metal Haul
I beefed up the truck this week with an awesome new crane for lifting the big stuff. My back is feeling better already! I also bought around 25L of gas from the scrap yard. I used it and didn't notice any issues. Let me know in the comments if you think it was a good idea or not. Some scrap yards sell the gas that they reclaimed from scrap cars that they buy.

I HAVE TOO MUCH INVENTORY - Inventory Clean Up! + Scrap + Q&A Taco Stacks

I made another $33 in total net profit (profit after ebay fees, paypal fees and USPS shipping costs) for yesterday (July 5) and today (as of 10:43 PM July 6). That brings my total ebay net profit to $103 so far for this week (week of July 2, 2017 to July 8, 2017). I had 5 straight days of ebay sales to start off the month of July. Total sales for this weeks (started on July 2, 2017) as of 10:43 PM Thursday, July 6, 2017 now stands at $675.56 with a total of 22 troy oz's worth of silver art bars and silver coins sold (Average of approx. $30.71 per 1 troy oz of silver).
Hopefully I can keep my streak alive for this week buy making a sale for tomorrow (Friday July 7). Despite spot silver continuing to drop to under $16, my ebay sales have been strong so far. I will have to see how the rest of tonight and the rest of this week (ending on Saturday July 8) goes to see how this week ends up in terms of total net profit for the week. So far, I am very happy with how things are going.
I did sell another silver item yesterday (July 8, 2017). I sold a 2011 Vicksburg bullion puck for $131 and after paying paypal/ebay fees and after I ship it tomorrow(July 10), I would make around $6 net profit on that item. For the past week (week of July 2, 2017 to July 8, 2017), I had ebay sales totaling $807.46 and sold a total of 27 troy oz's worth of silver art bars and silver coins (Average of approx. $29.91 per 1 troy oz of silver) and ended up with a net profit of around $109. That weekly net profit of $109 that I made with my ebay side business is a record for me in terms of biggest net profit for 1 week of ebay sales. I am very happy with it. Once I know exactly how much net profit I made after each sale, I bank those net profits into a separate bank account. I do this because I plan to eventually reinvest that money in my ebay side business to try to make more money with it. I am just waiting for the right deal to come along to make it worthwhile. The remaining paypal funds (after paying ebay fees and paying USPS shipping and after banking the net profits into another bank account) will get spent to buy more '70's silver art bars to add to my personal collection and to flip to make more money.
It this point, I do expect my sales to drop off since the July 4 holiday week is over but I will still have sales trickle in since I still have several active ebay listings remaining. Once I my ebay listings get low (ex: less than 10 listings left), then I will list more silver art bars (or other collectible silver) to sell. That gives me time to go out to rebuild my short term flip stack by finding and buying more silver art bars and other collectible silver at .999 generic silver premiums to flip for collector premium.
To be honest with you, the reason that I am sharing this because I am basically doing the same thing that the people in the YT videos posted are doing. I found something that I like since '70's silver art bar collecting is my hobby and I found a way to make money off of my hobby and well as selling other collectible silver bars/coins for profit. I enjoy my hobby of silver art bar collecting and I am just using my collecting experience and knowledge to make money with it. I love what I do and I want to one day do it full-time and not have to work 40-60 hours/week at a regular job. This ebay side business is really my "dream job" that I hope to grow it into a full-time business one day. However, the reality is that goal is years away with no guarantees that I can sustain it on a full-time basis. At the moment, I can do it on a part-time basis and I am happy with that at this point in time.
