I have been taking an unplanned break from the Hot Finds for the last week but everything is good now and I'm back. I appreciate those of you that sent me emails asking if everything was ok. Just had some technical difficulties but hopefully all that's in the rear view mirror.
Vintage Scouting Memorabilia On eBay
My project to build an eBay super store is well under way. Taking advantage of the new pricing structure for insertion fees I am combining all 4 of my accounts into one.
So far this week I've closed the stores on my OApatch and ScoutPatchHQ eBay accounts. Those items have now been added to my main Patchblanket.com store for Santeeswapper. Once my final auctions finish running on Patchsniper I'll move those over too.
Right now I'm sitting at over 19k items in my store. Once I move over Patchsniper and roll my Shopify inventory over that should push me over 30k items. That gives me plenty of room to grow. I've also added a shipping discount on Patchblanket.com where you can get free shipping with a minimum purchase.
As I wind down my Patchsniper account there are 126 auctions ending this week. I've done really well with this group mostly from lodges in the Pacific Northwest. By this time next week that store will close and I'll have those items posted to Patchblanket.com.
As of now I'm signed up to attend the SR5 Conclave at the end of August. I have every hope that it will be held and I'll get to put on a tan shirt for anything other than a Zoom board of review. Oh and I might get to trade a patch!

In Charlotte, North Carolina I have an antique mall booth that is filled with nothing but Scouting stuff. I call this location my clearance center because I've marked down everything to move. A lot of what you will find there are items that are too bulky to easily ship from an Internet store. The booth is located in The Sleepy Poet which is a well established antique mall on South Blvd in Charlotte. The mall is open 7-days/week year round. So the next time you are in the area come check it out.
