This Weekend Is Loaded With Auctions

Yesterday I put in snipes on several of the Air Explorer items in the Noble Spirit auctions. I put my bids in at 100% of the historical best sold comp and in one case even higher. In all cases I was totally blown out of the water. On a Saturday afternoon! It's great to see there is such interest in the old stuff that even with a flood of it all ending on one weekend these got good prices.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Up For Bids

The reunion went off yesterday without a hitch. Thanks to Tripp Clark and all of his Scout elves they pulled off bridging the gap with two different camps post merger. For my old camp I saw many people there including some I had never met before. Hopefully the connections made will lead to some surge in alumni relations and connecting with our shared history.

Auctions Are The Hot Finds Secret Sauce

Sitting at my lunch table was a guy from another council that shared in the last two years his camp had $1.5 million in investments. You can bet that came from reengaged alumni! So I think there is a clear patch forward to invite these people to stay connected with the council and to share their talents in any way they see fit.

On eBay I have 224 live auctions including more terrific Georgia OA. Maybe I'll have some luck like Noble Spirit and find some energy in having so many good pieces together.

I got to spend lots of quality time with my old camp friends. Many stories were shared with laughs and smiles all around. I even got a very unique memento given to me by someone. He had pulled my 1996 Wood Badge patrol flag out of storage. So the flag of the Fine Tailed Foxes of SR-145 will be appreciated on my wall.
