All this week my family has been vacationing at Fripp Island in South Carolina. During the down time I've actually spent some time solving a few problems I've had with the business. My wife has even given me some counsel since she edits small business stories as part of her role as a Senior Editor for a large online finance...Read More

When I get back from vacation I should be ready to receive a pallet load of 400 corrugated plastic bins that I had custom made for my warehouse. These will help me organize and store all my active inventory. Imagine the old Jensen Black Boxes without dividers or lids. Oh and these are blue also! When I get home I...Read More

I had a break through with eBay customer support Friday that opened the door for me to begin another tweek to my eBay strategy. I got convinced them to greatly increase the selling limits on my newest account to give me the flexibility I need to post my Shopify store contents there. So for about a year I've played around...Read More

This weekend my daughter will leave for Sea Base on a 10 day trip. it was one of those deals where a couple of spots opened up for a crew going from another council and she got invited to join. This is the Island Adventure trip that sounds like a lot of fun. I have never been to Sea Base...Read More

After filming the video I talked with the owner and made a deal to purchase the items. Turns out all this stuff belonged to his father who was very active in the 1960s including going to the 1969 Jamboree. His dad was a Vigil Honor member of Thunderbird Lodge in North Dakota. As I did with the last collection I've...Read More

The 52 pound Boy Scout collection I mentioned last issue was waiting for me at the UPS store Saturday. I have a sneaking suspicion that one box holds books. You would think that after all these years I would have told the guy "no books" before he packaged and mailed it. Depending on how Tuesday pans out I can get...Read More

Today I have 52 pounds of Scouting collectibles arriving in 3 boxes. If I am able to go get it this morning from my UPS store I'll try and film an unboxing video. This is a collection that I've seen a few pictures of but I don't really know what all is in there. Hopefully it won't be 20 pounds...Read More

I was messaging a friend yesterday about having some time this summer to get long delayed problems solved and he presented me with a solution for one of those. Since moving to Charlotte I haven't locked down a bookkeeper. He has been using an online service based in Utah that seems to be take care of everything for him. I've...Read More

Well I pulled the plug for good on my experiment to use the CommentSold platform to sell on Facebook using videos. The service was kinda expensive and the videos took a lot of prep time to prepare. But the good news is I'll be returning to fun unboxing videos which seem to be the fan favorite. This weekend my mother-in-law...Read More

Another collection that I got in this week features items from the Juniata Valley Council in PA. There are some nice OA pieces along with camp items and even a coveted shoulder strip. I'll try and get those thrown up this weekend too if my Friday can be productive. Later today I'm probably going to end my subscription to the...Read More

The collection was from a 1957 Eagle Scout who had an interesting childhood as a military brat. His dad served in the occupation forces right after WWII and the family spent time at Fort Bragg in NC before settling down at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. During that time the Scout was part of an Air Explorer Squadron. Now I am...Read More

I probably shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch but this week I'm really looking forward to a small collection that I made a deal on last week. This guy went to the 1964 Jamboree and his collection is really small enough to fit in a padded envelope. But he just happened to be in a highly restrictive OA lodge...Read More

If I can finish up the shipping I hope to do an unboxing video before calling it a day. It's been a while since I've done just a pure cutting open the box and showing everyone what's inside. This one won't be a sale video just for fun. But the collection includes some really cool thing because it straddles a...Read More

As a family the prospect of basically erasing all of our summer plans was depressing. But we've rallied the troops and are still trying to piece some things together. Sophia got invited to join another unit on their trip to Sea Base this summer. There is also the possibility of her getting trained and hired to be a pool lifeguard...Read More
