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.</p> 596<p>We are eBay Top Rated + Power Sellers. Each week we post one or two 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 eBay Scavengers.</p> 597<p>We are not full-on preppers, but we did move to rural parts of the US to get away from the economic nuttiness of urban living. Rural America allows us to take advantage of cheap housing prices and low cost of living. Because it’s difficult to find work in the countryside, we’ve learned to make a living online because we’re resourceful techies. We also grow/preserve food, save and make stuff so we can weather any economic downturn.</p> 598<p>eBay helps us own our time so we can wake up naturally (without alarm clocks!), work on different personal projects, and take short and long trips whenever the idea strikes.</p> 599<p>Scavenging for eBay in the US is a goldmine because this country has had 60+ years of upward luxury. We could easily live off this abundance and waste for the next generation. If you have the time to scavenge, the treasures are everywhere for the finding.</p> 600<p>Our friends, Mikey and Wendy, have a similar background and helped us start this blog. You can hear them throughout the first 80 episodes. Their other projects can be found at <a href="http://www.thegoodlifelab.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Good Life Lab</a> blog. Wendy’s book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1612121012/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1612121012&linkCode=as2&tag=holy08-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Good Life Lab</a> is available on Amazon. If you’re a scavenger, you should read it.</p> 601<p>We also publish another podcast on running rental properties at Shampoo & Booze that we bought and renovated with our eBay profits. <a href="http://luraymodern.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Come stay with us</a>.
