eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Weekend Rewind
  October 9. 2011
Greetings!
eBay watchers will finally get to find out where the $10k+ jacket ends up today.  It has a high reserve so we may not see a completed sale but its always fun to watch what the big boys are willing to do on the ultra rare pieces in our hobby.  For the rest of us there are plenty of other auctions within reach including a strong day for insignia and OA auctions. 
Eagle Medals & Patches Putting On A Show
I always like to feature Eagle memorabilia when its doing well on eBay but today I found multiple listings that helped form the foundation for this issue.  Another interesting thing about this edition is there are a number of mixed lots that at the right sales price would be a steal if you can get them.

Really Strong Weekend For OA Auctions
At first glace you would look down and see the lot of seven flaps and think yeah that's pretty good.  I see that pointed tip on the Lodge 104 S1 among others.  But if you click on that thumbnail link you will see that this listing contains many more pieces for the lucky winner.
Big Jamboree Sets & More Featured Here
I remember that during the height of the 2010 Jambo frenzy on eBay that the Mid-America train set would sell for more than $200.  I don't know if it will still bring today that but even then I didn't see many that had the complete set with OA.

Closing Out The Hot Finds With Bargains
Its not every day that you see a PowerSeller stumped.  The insignia patch pictured below with the "52" embroidered on it is a mystery part of sorts.  Speaking of mysteries you kinda wonder how did a vintage BSA shirt with Eagle Scout patch from the 1940s get some European strips sewn on the right breast?

I am in the process of brainstorming some new features for my sites and for the "Hot Finds" concept.  One of these is to figure out ways to use social media (Facebook) more successfully.  I'm going to a class on this topic at my local community college Monday night hungry for ideas.  If any of you have ideas for features or improvements to the newsletter or one of my websites I'd love to hear your feedback.  I've long wanted to do a quick weekly podcast and I might have finally found someone to help me with that.  I'm also working on a special "top secret" project that I will roll out after the first of the year.  So basically I'm like everyone else - full of ideas and not time to implement them. :) 

   

Yours in Scouting,
