Scout Patch Collectors

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter February 14, 2017

The story behind the video is that I walked up on a feeding frenzy at the TOR when a family decided it was time to have yard sale prices on old Boy Scout stuff. While others were looking for the good items I was buying tubs full of stuff for pennies on the dollar. So in the video I promoted the whole concept of why TORs are an essential opportunity in this hobby to find deals that you could never score anywhere else.

I do have a tentative guest lined up for this week’s edition of the podcast Scouting Hot Finds Radio. It’s actually a Girl Scout collecting guru – Becky Byrns. She is hosting a Girl Scout collectors show in March and has been mentoring me a little as I have taken up collecting Girl Scout memorabilia the last several years.

I’m back at it again this week tweeking my strategies. Wednesday I have a call lined up with a Charlotte web company that may help me design another web platform. Then later that day I have an appointment to talk to an antique mall owner in Charlotte. If I’m going to stick with that strategy it’s probably time to consolidate my booths down to 1 local mall in Charlotte even if the rents going to sting a little.

This week on eBay you will find a lot of relists looking for one more chance to attract bids before they get sent off to my eBay store at Patchblanket.com. Later in the week I might do another Facebook Live video to share my idea for getting organized. I stayed up pretty late last night coming up with a new system.
