Welcome to the Scrounge Lounge March 2019 Edition
Our History: The Scrounge Lounge formed on the old Auction Listings board in 2003.
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!

Yep, Kyal. M*M is sending one of her arctic blasts our way 😞 So much is blooming or beginning to bloom - forsythia, daffs, Bradford pears, cherry trees, etc - they will all be done in by the blast - so sad. And yes M*M sn*w is a dirty word around here! Even DH who was raised up north thinks so.
Sun, your listings are GTC because you use the quick listing form. If you used Advanced, you could select the duration - but not anymore 😞 More loss of control grumble grumble. Some of the blues report that sellers in their 'test' group were very pleased with it. Hhhmm, wonder who made up the test group? It will be a real surprise for those who do not read the updates or visit the boards.
For those of us who sell some long tail items such as glass and china, it could be expensive and you could easily go over you limit. Something listed March 1 would renew March 31 and be charged in that month. I frequently update pictures and titles on long tail items so will have to watch closely.

Hey all! I'm HOoooOooooome Just got in a bit ago from a hellish drive in the snow, with a few nice fluffy inches on the ground, but they had plowed not too long before that, thank GOD!
To work I drive about 12-14 miles to a 4 lane, then another 6 to job site. It "seems" a lot further than that.
Leaving work, the four lane was in worse shape than the 12 miles of 2 lane. And of course someone had to pass me on the 4 lane, and a Sheriff was right behind him. 🙂
Saw another sheriff when I got into town, good to see them out and about.
Balmy 7 degrees tonight. Seriously. When my car is baking at 80 degrees inside, I don't wear a jacket.
I stopped into a kwik trip to get something to drink (and to 'think about' driving up a mile long hill and do the rest of the trip)..My girlfriend Cindy lives in this little town but I'd rather be home than knock on her door.
I go into the store and this girl says "Where's your coat?" Me: "In my car", I have boots and my Alaska down parka that I've had since 1977, huge mitts, fur hat.
I'm also wearing two layers of pants and shirts..
Anyway, freakin white knuckle drive with snow coming down, can't use the brights or you'll go crazy with snow coming at your eyeballs. Can't look away from the road for a second.
SO thankful to be home..
I asked a couple people in the store if they'd been on the road I was taking. No but this guy said there is less snow up on higher ground...(above this mile long hill). I said "Would you take 42 up" and he said yes, just go slow! So that gave me some confidence.
I get to the 42 turnoff and there are 3 GIGANTIC Overland Semi's that were just getting down to the bottom to get on the 4 lane, the 3rd one didn't even stop at the stop sign lol
"Carryin' the Mail" my x used to say. Rock and Roll boys!
Oh man. I don't know how often I can do that...I should have stayed at work til the snow stopped but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hahaha
Just Thankful, Amen.
