Vintage Scouting Memorabilia On eBay

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 reasons this might work and definitely some downsides.

Order of the Arrow Top Selling Auctions

So tomorrow I am going to try a modified version of this. I'm going to post my latest unboxing on Facebook and then minutes later post pictures of the items from that unboxing for sale in the Scout Patch Collectors. Not quite a live sale but still giving viewers the chance to grab interesting items from the video. It's an experiment!

Scouting Auctions Ending Soon on eBay

I might consider bringing back the truly live selling idea in Q2 of this year. I am going out to Las Vegas in March for a resellers conference. I know there will be some serious Whatnot sellers there and I might can pick their brain about this.

For once I don't have any live auctions running on eBay! That will change very quickly this week. But we let the calendar run out and are busy building it back from scratch. Yesterday I had a record breaking (for me) five employees in the warehouse sorting, taking pictures and shipping orders. So it won't be long before the results start hitting the store.

Yesterday I started to utilize a very strict time blocking system and it went very well. I was pretty fanatical about moving on from task to task and felt good about it. I definitely tried to squeeze in too much considering all the people I had to supervise but it was a productive day and the beginning of my 12 Week Year.
