eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Weekend Rewind
  December 18. 2011
Greetings!
The days are ticking closer until Christmas but there is still plenty of action in the Boy Scout category. Oh yes the volume of auctions has declined but when you are looking for good picks there are still more than enough to stuff the Hot Finds. There really isn't a headliner for this issue but rather a lot of good listings in the sweet spot where most of us can afford to splurge and pick up some good pieces.  Have fun! 
Vintage Scouting Auctions Ending Sun/Mon
In the next two days every auction mentioned in this newsletter is going to cross the finish line.  All of them have bids but these top picks are among the best. That bugle is pretty unusual and worth a quick look.  I'm a fan of that clean looking western sheath knife.

Order of the Arrow Looking Light Today
I think some of the usual suspects in this niche have hung it up for the holidays.  You don't see too many big sellers trying to squeeze in OA auctions right before the holidays.  However, I did find this block of very respectable issues to represent the brotherhood in today's issue.

Last Minute Christmas Gifts For Your Scout
I don't know how many people give or get Boy Scout collectibles as gifts at this time of year.  However, if you are in the mood to consider a gift for yourself here are some more auctions that might temp you.  If you are looking for something to stuff my stocking with I'll pick the big bad Eagle Ring below.

Great Bargains For Your Sunday Hot Finds
As I write this issue none of these listings are more than $50 which puts them in a very sweet spot where most of us can use some of our play money.  I'm a fan of the 1924 Boy Scout catalog but I know others may prefer that sterling Philmont slide.  Take your pick but hurry they are all ending soon.

The garage project that I told you about last week is just about finished.  We have family coming Friday of this week and I've got my fingers crossed that the workmen will keep their promise to be finished Thursday.  Part two of the project is building shelving but first I gotta sell some patches and raise some more funds.  So if you see me launching sales like the one I have running the rest of this weekend (20% off in my store!) you will know why!  

   

Yours in Scouting,
