This Weekend Is Loaded With Auctions

First off let me thank Kevin and Todd and all the folks that helped put on the NCAC TOR at Camp Snyder this weekend. I got to see so many collecting friends and catch up with them. A bunch of us went out to breakfast Saturday morning and I was reminded that is what's so important about TORs - the fellowship!

Order of the Arrow Auctions Up For Bids

I have been listening to audio books at the YMCA and this week I clicked on one called the 12 Week Year. What good timing! This book focuses on setting not annual goals but a 12 week goal and then repeating that process 4 times during the year. But more importantly it zeros in on accountability in the daily tactics you are using to achieve that 12 week goal.

Auctions Are The Hot Finds Secret Sauce

For me this makes sense because I am leaving for a week long reseller conference in Las Vegas in 13 weeks. So naturally is a great mile post that I can use to test out the strategies in the book. I believe I have narrowed down my business goal will be to have my listings scheduled out for 3 weeks in advance by the end of the 12 weeks. That is a VERY measurable goal and will help me continue to feed the beast 50 new listings per day. There is nothing the eBay algorithm likes more than to see activity on your account.

We have sold the first tables for the Charlotte TOR this weekend and are making plans to promote the event as much as possible this spring. I am working to bring back the silent auctions that were popular in 2021 and 2022. My mom helped run these for me and so with her passing we didn't attempt it back in May. But I believe I have an employee who can do a great job and will speak to her about it this week.
