If you have not caught it yet on YouTube late this week I published my latest unboxing video. This one features a TX collection from a guy that attended the 1969 NJ and 1971 NOAC. He ended up with a slew of neckerchiefs in his collection and also quite a few nice OA issues. It's a good one!   Friday I made...Read More

So my offer is if you join my Patreon Group as a FREE member today I will share the video...Read More

You have to support your local shows! Even when they are the weekend after the biggest TOR of the year. This weekend (well Friday) I am driving the short distance to the Old North State Council TOR in Jamestown, NC. This show came back last year after a hiatus. Some of you would have known it in the distant past as the...Read More

I got as far as Beckley, WV last night in my drive home from the Indy TOR. I dashed from the show quickly on Saturday afternoon and had a picking opportunity in Ohio that went every well. I'll record a video sharing that story and what I got in my Patreon group - the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders this week.   The...Read More

An update on my Indy trip. Yesterday I did meet with a guy about buying his collection. This was an older guy who had some great Scouting memories. But when it came time to figure out a price we were too far off. He had a copy of an old price guide and therefore had a number in his head....Read More

After I get my son home Wednesday from school I will be heading north to begin making my way to the Crossroads of America (Indy) TOR. From Charlotte its a full day's drive but I've got a couple of stops to make along the way. I'll stay with my cousin in VA Weds night and have a much more comfortable...Read More

Tuesday is the last day I can accept delivery orders for Best Hobby Pages. I am leaving for the IndyTOR early to make some stops. If you place your order now using coupon code PICKUP, I will package it up and hand deliver your order at the TOR.   Only a few times a year do I drive over the mountains...Read More

This week I met with the realtor who sold us our house back in 2018. My lease runs out at the end of August so I am exploring all options. I've already had a frank conversation with my landlord (new company that bought the property) and they shared what my lease would be if I renew. So with 6-7 months...Read More

The hardest part about hosting a Trade-O-Ree is not always getting everything worked out with the host location and actually setting up. Sometimes its the effort to get people to come. It ain't like that old Field of Dreams movie, you can put it on a calendar but that won't make people come.   I am doing my best to...Read More

Over the last two days I've been have enjoying the fellowship of the South Carolina TOR and my lodge banquet. Even the banquet had a silent auction so it was a big patch weekend.   One of the highlights of the TOR was just slowing down and walking around the room to have a conversation with all the other dealers....Read More

I saw a comment from Steve Adams that said basically why can't there be a trade-o-ree every weekend? I don't know that I could have that kinda schedule but I do celebrate the chance to attend a TOR and see many Scouting friends in person. I also know that the best chance to get deals on stuff is in person...Read More

  Monday I spent most of the day working my route. In the morning I priced a lot of stuff for my antique mall booth. Before lunch I headed out there to restock the space including totally revamping all the art and framed patches on the wall. I could have spent more time there but had an appointment to see...Read More

Tomorrow I am going to devote most of my day to patch business outside the warehouse. In the morning, I am going to my antique mall booth at the Sleep Poet to add in a bunch of new inventory and move things around. I think I will swap out the dollar patches and bring a lot more framed items. I...Read More

This afternoon Charlotte will likely get snow for the first time in a few years. Some of you will laugh at me sharing this as the accumulation might be just 1 inch. LOL But we have purchased our milk and bread (that now has to be picked up at the grocery store) and my son is home from school. Yes...Read More

Tomorrow I am going to try out a version of an idea I've had for some time. In filming my unboxing videos I have often thought could I do a version of live selling here. So as I open the box put each item up for an instant auction (like on Whatnot) and sell it quickly. There are lots of...Read More
