Welcome to the Scrounge Lounge October 2018 Edition

Harvestig Sales still seems fitting. As the leaves change to autumn colors may the widgets turn green!

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.

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!

Sad about the accident, lock er up and lose the key.

Finally added a buyer to my bbl, they came around 3 times offering 15,20 and 25, all three times I responded to the 25 with "minimum price is $30", kept offering less and finally sent a snarky comment that it sells new for $55. And your point is? Welcome to my BBL turkey.

Nervious about listing items as auction. Need help being confident with this!

howdene, I took a quick peek at your listings. Do you realize you listed with FREE SHIPPING? On the tin you will lose money. On the bank it's hard to tell size/weight but I'd bet that with the opening bid you lose money, BIN might leave a bit in your pocket. The DVD looks okay as is.
It might be a good idea to revise the shipping to calculated.

dtex. You are not alone. My penny buyer is a NIGHTMARE. He's begged for fb twice. He's totally paranoid, has pathetic use of the English language in writing and comprehension. I'm SO SORRY he ever bid. O.M.G. I can't take much more LMAO.... at least I figured out - I guess I used up my quota so no freebs until the cycle is over, whenever that is. I have a hundred UNSOLD, so, ebay thinks I am going to pay them to relist unsolds? Uhm NO.

dtexley3 · ‎11-01-2018

Feel your pain, I hold unsolds if I'm out of listings. Last month eBay gave me an extra 500 so I relisted everything yesterday. Tomorrow I'll go back to relisting 50 unsolds per day M-F. That seems to help, especially when I have enough unsolds that they sit for about a week before reslisting. eBath then marks them as a "new listing" and they get a higher search rank. Unfortunately right now I'm way behind in listing new items again and improving holiday sales have eaten away most of my unsold backlog.

Tex, 1015 listings? I guess I have a little of my mind left! I couldn't do that, no way, no how, not happening!!! Good LUCK on those relists!

Dtex, people keep saying the same thing. Had to be on the phone. She keeps saying she "didn't see the school bus".... Very hard to believe a person can miss a huge bright yellow bus, with red blinking lights going & an arm sticking out & not slow down...

There was a lady behind her & she said even though it wasn't completely day light yet, you could plainly see the bus & the Red Blinking Lights.... Very sad....

No new updates yet Jill. Other than the lady that was in a car behind the gal in the truck. Still very hard to imagine how the front of her truck is so smashed in.... I guess she was going 45 m.p.h.

I just hope it was instant & no suffering for those 3 babies....

Holy Moly on having so many listings up Dyex! Your a man with a mission I tell ya!!! I never could get that many listed.

Had a lot of kids last night. Over 100. Thought for sure we were going to run out of candy 😞

Just a quick stop in, as I have to get dinner going.

Have a nice evening all
