Where have I been? I attended the Boy Scout jamboree and came home with so much new inventory that I've been selling like a bandit this month. At my peak I had over 1200 live auctions kicking. So it's been a good and busy summer but I'm ready to settle back into a schedule that includes the WWII Hot Finds.
During that summer crush I actually had a day with over 100 orders that got filled. I'm not used to doing that kind of volume on eBay but when it's Christmas for Scout collectors I had to get it done. My kids are back to school Monday so at 9 AM I should be back at my desk and on track for the rest of 2017.
We are squeezing out a couple last days of vacation at the beach after enjoying the solar eclipse at my mom's house in SC. What are the chances that the house I grew up was exactly in the zone of totality for the amazing eclipse. It was quite an amazing event that I'll never forget. This is a picture of my son Patrick taking it all in. He earned an eclipse patch from the Cub Scouts that we will put on his uniform as he starts off as a Wolf this fall.
My wife and I were going over the schedule today and it looks like I have about 7 hours during the work day to get as much stuff up and listed on eBay. That comes out to a 35 hour work week although as an entrepreneur I would just assume it be twice that. But family, Scouts and church calls so I have to remember all things in moderation.
