eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter

Sunday Morning

September 6, 2015

I hope you get a chance to go through today's issue and see all the unique auctions that I've featured. There is a great mix of the old and the new!

Vintage Auctions Ending Soon on eBay

The sash below includes one of the Air Scout Candidate patches so I'd say that dates it more to the 1940s. This block has some other cool patches from that time including eBay seller whitdog1972 that has some air themed merit badges ending today.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Closing Soon

I have to confess I am not in the corner of collectors who have an interest in OA fundraiser patches. Limited edition over priced trading post patches just don't do anything for me. I understand that it's all for a good cause but you won't find a frame of those in my OA display.

Boy Scout Auctions Ending This Weekend

As a follow up to an earlier message I want to thank Rick Bedsworth and everyone who purchased the special edition Centennial jacket patch for the Scout Patch Collectors Facebook Group. Through the fundraiser the FB Group was able to support the ISCA charity through a $500 donation. Rick is handling getting the money to the charities.

Patchblanket.com eBay Store Loaded

I've cut off the auto relist on my auctions and will wind them down over the next couple of days. From there all my NOAC inventory will be placed in my eBay store at www.Patchblanket.com at fixed price. I figure that it's not a bad problem to put several hundred patches in the store although selling them in the weeks after the event at auction was the plan.

Next week I'm hosting a meeting that some of you might find kinda interesting. I've scheduled a Troop Leaders Council meeting (made up that name) for all the Scouting units sponsored by my church. We are going to have one meeting with the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and all levels of Girl Scouts to improve communication and plan together. We have over 125 kids in all the programs and I think it would a good idea if we are on the same sheet of music. Wish me luck!
