eBay Scouting Hot Finds Weekend Update: Bargain Hunters Issue

eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter

Weekend Update Edition

October 7, 2011

Greetings!

With the Boy Scout category hovering around 10k live auctions I hope you will find this issue of the Scouting Hot Finds particularly helpful in that I've gone all the way from A-Z in order to bring you the listings that collectors are bidding on. The item with the biggest price figure in this issue is just over $275 with the lowest being just under $20. That range of values should be appropriate for just about anybody's wallet and so I hope you will find some items worth bidding on among my picks today.

The Vintage Picks That Everyone Can Afford

When I built the newsletter today I actually did something in reverse. The picks that you see here are not those with the biggest $$ next to their title but rather interesting items that I think are going pretty cheap. Click on these and see if you agree.

Vintage Lot of BSA Boy Scout Eagle Scout Badge

Eagle Scout Award Medal In Box With Patch

WWW For Sale on the World Wide Web

There are no knockout auctions for OA collectors closing Friday/Saturday that I found to include today. This block contains some good candidates for some last minute bidding.

1977 Section SE-6 Section Conference Host Patch

OA Shenandoah Lodge 258, A-2 Red Border Arrow

1989 SE-1 Section Conference Chenille SE1

International and World Jamboree Auctions

Several months now removed from the 2011 WJ in Sweden I still find lisitngs that are getting multiple bids and worth a mention in the Hot Finds. The contingent neckerchief from the the Seychelles must have looked quite interesting to the other Scouts with their more traditional colors.

Saving The Best Vintage Items For Last Today

I might be accused of hiding this block at the bottom of the newsletter to encourage you to read all the way through. While not every auction here is a home run there are several really good ones that are standing out. The Kit Karson Kit is the top of the class and the OA Philmont set is not too far behind.

Kit Karson Kit Scout Axe & Sheath Knife - Mint

I know a few of you are wondering - where is the jacket? My golden rule of trying to just stay two steps ahead of the closing gavel on eBay means that the Juniata jacket that is now over $10k in bidding really belongs to Sunday morning's edition . However, it can't hurt to give you a preview of things to come so I've got the picture link here. I'm left wondering what is the reserve on this baby!?
