Bargain From a Restaurant Going Out of Business
Julie recounts overdoing workouts and playing indoor pickleball for hours, leaving her sore and joking about “pickleball elbow,” while discussing how pickleball differs from tennis. The episode’s main story follows Julie spotting a restaurant liquidation in Denton, Texas, where everything was half-price; she haggles and buys two patio umbrellas. Needing stands, she attempts a DIY planter-and-PVC solution, but the umbrellas lean and the effort costs more than buying stands online.

The Trials of Selling Books Online
Hosts Julie and Jake discuss recent book reads, including Jake finishing “Ultramarine” by Marie NDiaye, about a female freight-ship captain and a mysterious extra crew member after a swim stop. Julie describes her attempt to sell used books online, noting Amazon’s origins as a bookseller and recalling textbook resale frustrations from her college days. She struggled setting up Amazon Seller Central after accidentally choosing a $40/month pro account, then finds she can list some books by ISBN but newer titles require publisher invoices, making Amazon impractical for one-off “digital garage sale” sales; one cheap book sells but fees, shipping, and an email mix-up delay fulfillment. She considers Half Price Books, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, neighborhood little libraries, and sites like Alibris and AbeBooks (owned by Amazon).
