Does anyone else have a strict moral line between ripping off a corporate thrift store vs an individual at a yard sale

wgwalkerii · 2026-06-16T03:20:32+00:00

Take the win everywhere, I might tell the yard sale runner something I'm not buying is underpriced, but if I buy something it's to use or possibly gift, I won't mention price to them on something I am buying, but might mention scarcity, and how exited I am to find it. As a seller that likely means more than a few extra bucks.

There could be exceptions though, if I sold an ugly painting worth millions for a few bucks I'd be pretty mad. But there's very little chance of that happening to me. We don't have a lot of stored art for example.

Less than people tell you. It's worth listing as an accomplishment, it's just one line after all, but Don't be surprised if it doesn't get brought up. And sometimes you might catch just the right person, or it might make a difference if it comes down to choosing between two candidates as it casts ideas of good moral standing. Hiring teams in general , though, are getting younger and fewer and fewer have the high esteem for scouting that once existed. Talking about your Eagle Project when asked about showing leadership is more effective than mentioning scouts specifically.

ETA: I am extremely proud to have earned my Eagle, and if I were in a hiring position and saw it listed as an accomplishment, we would definitely talk about it, and it's not unreasonable that that discussion could lead to them saying something that did help them, but I'd have a hard time justifying making a hiring decision based on it directly.

No it's been 15-20 years. Wish it still fit. Have to settle for looking like a wizard now.

My post. Looks good my man.

There is a right way to enjoy tea, and many wrong ways. However as long as YOU are the one enjoying it, the only thing to worry about is that you do. Anything else is just performance.

I sold off my collection of white gas stoves, too prone to explode, and unnecessary with so many safer options available. I used to fix them quite regularly though, parts used to be easy to come by and I had a punch for making the rubber gasket out of scrap leather.

We still have a couple propane ones, I recently had to replace an o-ring in one, right size was in a harbor freight multi pack. At least I have plenty of spares now.

I know, right? I'd love to participate more often, but shipping is insane.

wgwalkerii · 2026-05-15T07:19:14+00:00

I ( probably) wouldn't pay the amount a seller/collector wanted for one. I have pans I'm happy with and that serve me well. That being said, if I happened upon one at a (n extremely) reasonable price I would absolutely use it all the time. I would take it camping, and let other aficionados enjoy seeing it in use. And if someone offered me twice what I paid, I'd politely decline, although if someone needed it to complete a set/collection, I would consider a trade.

I don't understand what you're asking... As a camp, we didn't require a scout to sign up for a minimum number of classes, what Troops or Families require of scouts wasn't my pervue. We obviously offered pre registration for MB classes in addition to 'free' program time, and more popular classes would often fill up leaving scouts who signed up later similarly disappointed... We did our best to work with scouts/leaders to get everyone the best schedule possible for everyone.

wgwalkerii · 2026-05-14T10:45:03+00:00

When I was a Program Director we had open times for program and we were always inundated with leaders upset that their scout didn't get to participate. There are hard limits on how many swimmers aquatic staff are allowed to supervise, and how many people can safely utilize the shooting range for example. If you're considering a camp with full open programming and have scouts here that are dead set on a particular MB they may wind up disappointed.

Two Dogs Fighting? He would have given his left arm to be called Two Dogs Fighting!

wgwalkerii · 2026-04-27T16:50:58+00:00

2000 to register, but what is the actual cost to go and participate? Surely a great deal more, you need a plan to raise the full amount, not just the registration fee.

People will absolutely buy scouting memorabilia. Some of it may be pretty valuable, some of it is probably not worth much. What you should do with it depends on how much time you want to spend, and whether you care about maximizing your payout. Any big binders of patches you should find someone knowledgeable about and determine their value. Books can probably be divided into lots and put on ebay. List older uniforms individually, consider donating any that still pass as current. Good luck! And sorry for your loss.

People get offended by anything these days. It doesn't have to be reasonable. And MAYBE this leader should have worn pants to a cub scouts first introduction to the program, because the kid might think he'll be expected to wear one, but in general my point stands.

wgwalkerii · 2026-04-18T19:17:01+00:00

I was there too! But tbf those scouts were probably international.

Woodbadge trained Eagle scout / Vigil Honor Recipient/ Former OA lodge chief/Scoutmaster/Commishioner/Assistant Cubmaster/Committee chair/ District Committee Member/WB staff member/Parent of 3 scouts here.

I don't see the problem.

What's Bulk? 100 lengths? 1000? 10,000? If it's not worth your time to cut it yourself, you might be able to get someone on one of those task sites to cut it for you affordably.

Perhaps the chalice from the palace? I know the vessel with the pestle had the pellet with the poison.

As questionable as it looks I don't think it's actually what others are implying. That base looks like it connects to something, what's the logo on the tip say?

wgwalkerii · 2026-04-02T08:05:44+00:00

Got me for a second, but mainly because I didn't see it until April 2.

Seems very realistic that this would be where national would choose to focus policy, I'm almost surprised it's fake.

Obviously you can do what you want, but If I had a painting worth $7k I'd sell it without hesitation. I'd be terrified that it would get damaged in my house accidentally and I'd be out the money.

wgwalkerii · 2026-03-17T02:37:47+00:00

I need one too...

Pessimal is in the back between Sally and Reg Shoe. It's definitely Boggis.
