  I spent part of the weekend at Camp Coker where Muscogee Lodge 116 held their Fall Inductions Weekend. It was good to see old friends and to witness over 40 Scouts and adults go through their Ordeal. The new lodge has settled in a calendar of alternating between the two camps and it was good to see some cheerful...Read More

  I have been going down the rabbit hole of eBay YouTube and trying to get ideas. To that end, on a live video, I chimed in and got a free month of the cross-posting service ListPerfectly. While the idea of posting Boy Scout stuff on other platforms like Etsy sounds tempting it's a road I've been down before.  ...Read More

  Last night I spent about 4 hours at the warehouse listening to my SC Gamecocks get their season back on the right foot while working on listing projects for this week. For those of you that know me patches and Gamecock football are two of my lifelong passions. I listened to the radio call over the Internet which is...Read More

  Here is one for you! An old Scout buddy messaged me and asked if I had a size medium Cub Scout shirt as his son was just joining. The same day a lady in North Dakota messaged me and asked if I would be interested in her son's old Cub uniform. I asked her what size? She answered medium...Read More

  This morning on the way into work I listened to the latest episode of the Scouting Memories podcast. Chris Brightwell from Alabama leads this project to share audio history of the Scouting movement. Today's episode focused on the 2023 Jamboree and got me to thinking back about my great Jamboree memories. Other episodes include some archived material from Terry Grove...Read More

  Guys who were Scouts of the baby boom generation sometimes have some really cool stuff in their collections that they probably didn't take on a camping trip. Yesterday I opened a box as soon as it arrived because I was anxious to see a pair of knives that were in the photographs shared with me. Boy was I surprised....Read More

  Back from the beach and ready to hit it hard listing and turning over inventory in the business. I came back from vacation having reread four business/lifestyle books that will help put me on a good path for the last four months of 2023. I am focusing on just a few numbers in my business and also blocking out...Read More

  Recently my family has made a tradition of spending a week at the beach in late August right before it's time for the kids to report back to school. For me it's become an annual reset where I can read some business books, dream up some ideas and go into the new school year with focus. This time we...Read More

  It will take me about 90 minutes to drive to one of the best TORs in the Southeast. As local as it is for me the Occoneechee TOR should be a model for other lodge sponsored shows. The lodge cook team prepares all the meals and serves them up right there in the dining hall (where the TOR is...Read More

  Today my son Patrick is coming into the office to get in his required work time to pay off his phone bill. I'm sure this trade off or something very similar plays out in your family when it comes to kids and a family owned business or "chores". He is likely going to be taking a lot of pictures...Read More

  While attending Flipcon 2023 in Charlotte Friday I was reminded that there is a difference between people who like collectibles and "normal" resellers. One difference is Friday morning for an hour the whole group jumped in cars to go to the Goodwill bins and shop during an exclusive opening time. If I go to a Goodwill it's to find...Read More

  All day today I am hanging out with several hundred resellers in Charlotte at a resellers event called FlipCon. As I have gone around the room and talked to people so far I have not found someone that has a niche the focus on. I didn't expect to find any Scout memorabilia collectors here but thought there would be...Read More

  Although the video is not ready I filmed an unboxing for the first time in probably three 10 weeks today. Even though I've been at camp the faucet didn't get turned off on buying small collections. Now I'm faced with a daunting task - I have dozens of small boxes piled up in the back of the warehouse going...Read More

  I've had two big auction waves end so far on my 2023 Jamboree stuff and the final one will be tonight. Starting Monday the only auctions I'll have up are less than 10 things that I found going through bags that slipped through the sort. That's a good thing! At that point I will have 100% of this new...Read More
