This week I spent two days traveling to New England to pick up a really nice Region 1 collection that I'll be selling in the next month once it's all sorted and ready. The drive home was 15 hours over two days which included a beautiful ride across I-81 in VA. Those rolling mountains almost made it worth the long haul home. This is definitely not the normal way I do business but sometimes you have to just pick up and go.

Sitting down with the collection owner over lunch he lamented that in his area there used to be TORs all the time. In my mind it seems like there are more new shows popping up so maybe the tide is turning. I think this is because the Internet makes it so easy to send out information and more councils, lodges and units are discovering that a good show can be an effective fundraising event.
Every collection is different. What makes this on especially interesting for me is that it was super organized. The guy even had spreadsheets with quantities and price listed on each item. Usually I get things in cardboard boxes all strewn around but not this time.
Yesterday when I went to the PO Box the lady had to break out the hand truck for me. Packages have been showing up for the
OA blind trade as well as some other deals I put together. This blind trade is for OA activity patches and so far several hundred have been committed.
You can still catch the
20% off sale I'm running on eBay. This one is focused on my inventory of National Jamboree items which is almost up to 1,000 individual listings. With the 2017 event just around the corner I'm hoping to move out some inventory.
I updated the TOR calendar below with shows going through the rest of 2017. I usually update the calendar every few weeks so if you have a flier for a show not listed email it to me and I'll get you in next time.
