Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter November 16, 2014

I've got a new issue of the Hot Finds ready for you packed with some nice auctions. Check out what I've spotted live on eBay.

In my interview with Richard Mori one of the observations he made is that Boy Scout collectors often times have a bad reputation among antique dealers.

This weekend on the camping trip my dutch oven Camel Gulch Carrot Cake was such as success that I've actually just finished making one for the school cake auction. Knots is not the only thing I learned as a Boy Scout. The cake turned out great with charcoal briquets in a classic dutch oven - I just wonder if it...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 19, 2014

The Sunday issue is probably my favorite for a couple of reasons. First it's a day of rest for many where clicking around on eBay auctions looking for things to fill your collection is fun. But also because it's the day when most sellers choose to end their best auctions and therefore the issue is just packed with great picks....Read More
