Today I"m entering the world of fun blind trades! Have you ever participated in one? They are pretty fun and a great way to shake up your dupes especially if you have some issues that you were the guy who bought out the store and have multiples. See details in today's newsletter to get in on this OA Activity Patch Blind Trade!

Vintage Boy Scout Memorabilia Up First
My friend Brad England just wrapped up a blind trade with SAPs. I think in the end he is ending up with about 1,000 issues that he is going to shuffle around and make sure everybody gets a different piece in return. I can't imagine that on this go around I'll get that many patches but the math works so that the more people that participate the more patches there are to shuffle around.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Live on eBay
On Sunday I added over 150 OA flaps in my $5 folder for sale at ScoutPatchHQ.com. Here is the simple math. Rather than typing up titles, issue #s, researching prices and putting them on eBay I've just created a shortcut to interested buyers. Everything in the folder has the same price and you get 1 free flap for every 10 that you buy. If you see something you want just shoot me a message and if it's not spoken for you can snag it.

Get In On The OA Activity Patch Blind Trade
 Do you have a bunch of stale OA activity patch inventory that you need to turn over and shake up? Things like OA conclaves, fellowships and OA activity patches? Today I'm launching an OA activity patch blind trade whereby you can send in up to 50 patches (no more than 5 of any patch) and get back the same number different. The minimum to get in is 10 patches. Send me an email if you want more information!

Scouting Auctions Ending Soon on eBay
Later today I hope to get an email with a tracking number on the 3 boxes containing a collection out of NY that I'm getting in this week. It has 400+ flaps, 100 2-piece sets, 1,200 shoulder strips and some miscellaneous. Looks like there are going to be some late nights in the office when I crack open those boxes. Anybody ready for another unboxing video?

Patchblanket.com eBay Store Santeeswapper
Would you believe that in cleaning up my store inventory and going through boxes I turned up over 175 shoulder strips that I think are better pieces. Issues like FOS, SAP, and older JSPs. I could spend several hours looking each one up in the CSI Guide but I figured I'd just put them all in one simple sales album for $10 each and let it ride. I know one patch in there has a book value of over $100 so that's why it's called my Facebook Bargain Store - simple pricing and free shipping. |

Yesterday at Girl Scouts we celebrated World Thinking Day with different activities designed to help the girls understand how we are all connected. If you search on the net for #WTD2016 you will find thousands of pictures where Scouts and Guides across the world did activities to celebrate.
Yours in Scouting,
