Welcome to the Scrounge Lounge May 2019 Edition
Our History: The Scrounge Lounge formed on the old Auction Listings board 16 years ago in 2003.
We appreciate ebay allowing us to transfer to the new Selling Board.
Who are we? Ebay buyers and sellers who love the thrill of the hunt and the thrill of the $ELL.
We find treasures in the usual, and at times, unusual places.
Here in the Lounge we share our finds, talk about sales, share our successes and our mistakes, we ask and answer questions, help identify widgets, and we'd love to hear about all your scrounging adventures!
Welcome All!

Hey peeps Happy MAY. I love this month. It's just got a nice tone to it!
Super Scrounged about 100 large padded envelopes this morning $0. FLUSH
2.25 lb brass horse statue.
Glass Pitcher owl shape, very cute.
-$2.50
drove 3/4 blocks. LOL
I do have good luck on "Short Trips"
The great river road 100 mile G Sale started Wednesday (all Early Bird of course, like, 2 days early), along the Mississippi on MN and WI sides, starts in Red Wing on the N end, ends around Kellogg 12 miles from here so lots of local sales too, well, several or more.
I was asked to do an overnight shift Wed, so Thurs. morning I was too crippled/sore to get in and out of the car. Most of the houses had 3 strollers in the front yard. easier to move on even though, that age group can be great for profiting from one little rare trinket. Like, How many mistakes did you make when you were 30 something? I could name several!

Happy 33rd Anniversary Kay!
I was about to say I "think" I got married on this day, about a 'hundred years ago' LOL
That is so funny.
I'll have to take pics of the horse, yet, Kay but sure will.
Yep, free padded envelopes and quite a bunch, two boxes. One is manila, one white, cheapo bubble inside but better than nothing.
Patd, Happy Birthday to your 55 yr old!! Glad you lived to see the day!

Morning All...where is everyone?
I hope Devens wins Survivor.
I'm SO glad Ron is OUT. Good Grief, and Julie, hope she's gone soon too but she is someone any good competitor would want to sit next to at the end.
I heard from Y a bit ago, she's on her second bout of pneumonia since Xmas but sales are good and hangin' in there with family issues.
Hope you had fun with the scrounge duty yesterday, Kay.
I have to work an overnight tonight.

I wish them & their new arrival the best...
TY for the new shiny Jill
Looks like you found some nice goodies Kay 🙂
Hope all went well for you Dtex.
We had a pretty sunny day yesterday & another one today. Then rain moves back in tomorrow 😞
Heading to the PO soon & then off to run a few errands.
Have to get B-day cards today while out, as May is a biggie for us.

Also Youngest DIL's b-day is the 10th.
Plus Bil's & Sil's are the end of the month and that'll be it for awhile...
Happy belated to your son Patd.
Well, have to go load up the car & get ready to head out.

Prince Harry has said they will show their new baby to the world in a couple of days, and they haven't decided a name yet..

Haven't done the lip biopsy yet... waiting till summer, so if I decide that I want to have them knock me all the way out DW is available to drive me home. We're both recovering from a nasty chest cold with aggravated asthma... not fun.
Not much in the way of sales, so being extra picky on the buying side. Picked up a few things, but passed on a lot of stuff that I might otherwise have bought. Not much to be had the last couple o weekends anyway.
GOT: The north needs a new strategist. sheesh.
