eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Weekend Update EditionOctober 14, 2011
Greetings!
Well I admit I was wrong.  In the last issue I said there would be fifteen thousand auctions running by today because of the penny listing special that eBay ran Tuesday.  Turns out the true number is closer to twenty-two thousand!  Now seeing as this email covers only items ending on Friday/Saturday you can see its going to be a big week for Scouting memorabilia collectors.
Vintage Auctions Live in the Boy Scout Category
I REALLY want that huge 14 inch WWI plaque for my Scout room.  It is really a piece of art in my eyes.  However, with a high reserve and the bidding up over $200 I just couldn't justify going after it.  But its tempting!

OA Auctions - Including One Sewn on My Blanket
I was Section Chief of SR-5 in 1992 when our Indian Seminar was held at Christ School in Arden, NC.  The patches for the weekend were ordered after the weekend and therefore are very scarce today.  That would explain why the ugly little purple patch below is getting so many bids.

Scouting Memorabilia Doing Really Well
I don't remember having many leader knots in the Hot Finds but I stuck a few in here.  Most of these auctions are less than $50 in bidding so far but there are a few surprises in here.  I didn't know the beekeeping MB was so good.

I didn't build it into the email but I did want to mention that I've got 32 auctions of my own ending this weekend and so far I've already garnered $1k in bids.  The items are heavy on OA with primarily items from Pellissippi 230 and Skyuka 270.  So far the best patch is rare S9 flap from TN.  If you want to see all these click here.  I'd also like to draw your attention to the TOR calendar below.  I've had a good response from show organizers and each week I've added new links as they've come in.  Have a great weekend. 

 

Sincerely,
