Nick is just 22 years old but having attended four major national events beginning with the 2005 National Jamboree he has the patch bug something bad.  His collecting focus will wrinkle the noses of some veterans of the hobby.  He loves all the "hot" sets that come out at the Jamboree and NOAC.

Nick does collect his home lodge of Owaneco 313 in CT having served as a lodge chief in his youth.  However, what really makes this interview interesting is to see how with a lot of hustle and furious trading he has created a strategy to earn his patch money that doesn't use eBay.

I was so interested in some of his ideas that I literally tried one of them out as I was publishing the show.  Within a few hours I got a lead to potentially sell some WJ stuff to a guy in Belgium so yes it works! The link to the show is in the next box.  Check it out!

The last several episodes of Scouting Hot Finds Radio have focused on unique strategies that people in the hobby of collecting Boy Scout memorabilia have used to feed their habit. Today's episode of the podcast takes the question to one of the young guns in the hobby Nick Wolf of the Connecticut Yankee Council and Owaneco Lodge 313. Nicknamed the "Patch King" by his own lodge brothers because at such a young age he seemed to be loaded with tons of cloth, Nick has developed a unique social media strategy to turnover his inventory.

One of the things that I've tried that is related to his social media selling strategy is posting monthly catalogs that feature items from my webstore at www.ScoutPatchHQ.com.  However, I'm going to try and use Nick's tips next week and see what kind of return they bring.
