This weekend I get to return home to Lumberton, NC with a chainsaw and start cleaning up from Hurricane Matthew. We lost 5 trees in the storm and had our back fenced crunched but otherwise there doesn't appear to be any damage to the house. I'm also looking forward to going to church there for the first time since we moved and catching up with old friends. I hope your weekend plans are looking up.
Vintage eBay Boy Scout Auctions This Weekend
I think I saw that sash pictured below at the Ohio TOR but I could be mistaken about that. It's been a while since I added any merit badges to my collection but I'm still keeping tabs on prices and what hits eBay in that niche.

Auctions ending Friday and Saturday on eBay
Every so often one lodge kinda heats up and things from there go for higher than their historical average. That is certainly the case with Sioux #62 as I've been watching eBay lately. Maybe there is new collector with cash getting serious in the hobby or maybe it's just Region 9 collectors bidding each other up.
Thursday I got hundreds of auctions ready so I can keep up a steady diet of listing. I've been averaging 20-30 auctions launching every night and it's been fun to hear the cha-ching every evening when they all end. Last night I was in Wal-Mart with my volume set at 100% when the eBay APP went nuts. That was a little embarrassing but it's still a good sound!
You can see by this block that I've got a real mix of stuff up for bids on eBay. Old activity patches, newer Jamboree flaps and JSPs, including last night I was launching World Jamboree contingent patches. You can check this link to see all my live auction on eBay.
Since reporting on the Charlotte TOR in this issue last week I've already received money for table reservations. I'm hoping that March 31-April 1 is a good weekend for a lot of collectors to come to the Queen City and do some buying/selling/trading at the Charlotte TOR.
