Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter July 3, 2015

SHF_jul_3

I have used my boy’s only week to get a lot done while the girls were off to Scout camp. That’s good because I’ve realized that with some more vacation and a church mission trip I volunteered for my time is getting short in July to get ready for NOAC.

I’ve had several conversations with people over what is the best set up for a TOR. Do you go with a big catalog rack (think Phil) or tubs (think TSPA) or lots and lots of Jensen boxes (many of us). After I press send I’m spending the rest of today literally packing for the NOAC TOR.

The math when thinking about a TOR is pretty interesting. Since I’m so used to eBay I have to think about the trouble and fees associated with selling a patch on eBay versus incentivizing someone to buy it from me at a show. A $10 patch on eBay can easily be a $7 patch at a show because you spend maybe 30% of that amount on fees, labor to list and ship, etc.

I got a message from someone this week asking for advice on his website. He built a site to try and sell things but after all that trouble only sold 2 items. I feel your pain brother! I’ve had more luck than that but making a website to compete against eBay is kind of a fools errand I can know say with some confidence.
