Scouting Hot Finds Radio #72: Boy Scout Council Hits The Trade-O-Ree Circuit and eBay!
What happens when a Boy Scout council crosses over into the secondary market to sell memorabilia? Listen to this interview with Marylou Schwarzer of the Blue Ridge Mountains Council in VA to find out. She is the trading post manager for the BRMC and has been selling on eBay for a while not as herself but with an official non-profit account she set up. In fact selling as the Boy Scout council there are no final value fees.
One of the other cool pieces of setting up your council as a non-profit on eBay is that sellers could select to donate a percentage of their items net sale to your charity. Could you imagine someone donating some stuff to the council (probably happens all the time) and they sell it on eBay for free? Sounds like some Boy Scout councils need to look into this!

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
