But Iām obsessed with this eBay shop thatās an authorized reseller of open box and surplus items from Target especially for home decor stuff because everything is priced exactly as I think things at Target SHOULD be priced. I just bought so many curtains bro
These are the only two sites I shop for home stuff on Bullseye Deals (Target authorized reseller on eBay)āthe deals on lamps for example are just outrageous. everything here costs what stuff from Target should cost
Dealforager (Amazon Warehouse returned items)āI use this site Deal Forager that someone put together using web crawling code or something which searches all of Amazonās inventory of returned items by keyword and category and lets you sort by percentage off, dollar amount off, etc
because I donāt want too much competition when shopping. But I buy soooo many returned unused items from Amazon Warehouse at an insane discount. I have several beautiful lamps from there, I got an unopened 14 inch thick king sized memory foam mattress for like $400, I bought a huge rug for $35, I buy shoes this way, etcā¦. I use dealforager.com to search for whatever I want and sort by highest dollar amount off and go from there
From the thrill of discovery, making bids, the buzz of a score or anguish of a could-have-been, a random box showing up that has been packed by some dude in Minnesotaā¦ I love it. The best way to shop is either setting a hyper-specific alert for something and finding it five years from now or by typing in all the potential typos it could have, or either searching for a vague combinations of names and details and seeing what comes up. Embellished pearl sweaters? Art deco servewear? Plastic organizers? Thereās probably also something good about reuse and sustainability here too. The only thing I donāt love is that my saved searches and watchlist are full so I have to keep deleting and replacing, but never change, eBay.
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
