Take a look in today's issue to see auctions that are getting bids and gaining watchers. I hope that a few of these are surprises to you.
I just got a frantic call from a woman in SW Florida. Her friend rescued a briefcase of Boy Scout memorabilia out of the dumpster and she was really in a tizzy thinking she had found some gold. Of course the items she found were not nearly as exciting to a collector but I coached her up on what she had and suggested that she sell it locally on FB Marketplace.
I got so busy yesterday that I didn't get the issue published. But as I often due here is a "catch up" issue so I can keep the readers on top of the latest military auctions that are getting bids in the category.
At my antique mall I have a giant tub of $1 scout patches for sale. These are ones that I get in collections which I don't think are really worth the time in effort to sell on eBay. Sunday I got a call from the mall saying that a customer wanted to buy the entire tub and asked for my price. So I boldly said $1000 and that was my best price. I was shocked when they called back 10 minutes later to tell me the person bought the tub! So today i am going back out to the mall to restock because of course I have thousands more dollar patches ready to go. Oh the adventures of reselling never end.
Thursday morning is a good day to check back in with the largest military category on eBay to see what's ending soon. All of these auctions have bids which I always use as a sign that if it's going to sell it might be worth a look.
This weekend things finally slow down and we don't have anything on the calendar. I have a feeling that with the temperature peaking over 70 degrees that it will be a lot of time spent outdoors working on the yard!
