Vintage Scouting Memorabilia On eBay
Monday I spent most of the day working my route. In the morning I priced a lot of stuff for my antique mall booth. Before lunch I headed out there to restock the space including totally revamping all the art and framed patches on the wall. I could have spent more time there but had an appointment to see a local collection.
Over the years I've been able to purchase a handful of Charlotte collections. Usually these are from people who did their Scouting somewhere else and ended up in the Queen City. This time a family I had been taking to since November was finally ready for me to come see the memorabilia. If I told you that 85% of what I purchased was books you would be shaking your head.
But there was a frame in the collection with 6 patches (yes only 6!) that made it all worth the effort. I also got a small box with some nice stuff from a lodge in the Carolinas that also was a win. So sometimes you gotta take all of it (including the ceramic Rockwell plates) in order to make the package deal work.
On eBay I have 121 live auctions running. The first wave of these sends tonight including the cool 1940 Sea Scout National Fleet lot pictured below. Every day I am launching additional fixed price and auction listings.
This is the last call for anyone coming to the South Carolina Trade-O-Ree that needs to place an order for Best Hobby Pages. If you do so before noon Thursday I can package up and hand deliver your order. Use coupon code PICKUP at checkout to get the shipping waived.
