#48: Patchtrends.com Is Go For Launch!

Published: June 13, 2013, 3:30 a.m.

b'Join me for the launch of a new and invaluable resource for the Boy Scout meorabilia collecting community.\\xa0 Brett Estrade and I are formally launching http://www.patchtrends.com in this episode.\\xa0 Roughly a year ago I published an episode of the radio show that finally comes to fruition tonight.\\xa0 In that show on the Prices Realized Guides I longed for an online solution that would make the whole project more robust, searchable, and easily accessed by all collectors in the hobby.\\xa0 When I was approached to partner with Brett Estrade on a new website that would do all that and much much more I jumped at the opportunity.\\xa0 After several months of tweeks and feedback from beta users the site is now live as an online prices realized search tool for the hobby.\\xa0 Catering strictly to the Boy Scout category of eBay this powerful program captures all completed sales listings (including images!) in an off-site database.\\xa0 Subscribers to this new service can then type in any search term and pull up all results that match the query.\\xa0 The database already has results from 500,000 listings and is growing every day.\\xa0 I really feel this site will become as indispensible to collectors as OAimages.com.\\xa0 However, since it is open to every niche in the hobby from OA to camps to Eagle medals anybody can use the service to value and research items.\\xa0 This could be a game-changer!\\xa0 Listen tonight as Brett and I explain how the idea came about, a little bit about the mechanics, and how for only $2/month you can test out the service with a money-back guarantee.
