When the Boy Scouts of America announced they would be building a permanent Jamboree site in the hills of West Virginia Todd Kelly started making some trips to the "Mountain State" to scope out locations for a Trade-O-Ree. One of the results of that venture was deciding to rent out a booth in two different antique malls in nearby Beckley, West Virginia.\xa0 Along with his partner at the time Todd got into the business of selling Scouting collectibles at an antique mall.\xa0 It's been almost four years since he dipped his toes into this strategy and Todd is now doubling down on this idea.

Tonight on Scouting Hot Finds Radio I have the second show in a series on interesting ways that people in the hobby of Boy Scout memorabilia collecting can turn over some of their inventory and make money.\xa0 Sure we all know about selling on eBay but in this series I am uncovering some of the lesser known strategies that people are using.\xa0 We've already covered selling on consignment in Episode #67 of the podcast.\xa0

As Todd and I both have antique mall booths we cover a lot of ground in this interview.\xa0 You can hear everything from what the basic financial arrangement is with the owner of the store to tips on what questions to ask and what to avoid.\xa0 You'll hear how "clutter" is not a four letter word in this strategy and the advantages of having a 7-day a week brick and mortar location that you don't have to staff yourself.\xa0 We also cover a tricky situation that you want to avoid and the secret formula for knowing if your antique booth is worth all the trouble and effort.\xa0
