eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter

Sunday Morning

December 20, 2015

Several of these auctions are ending Sunday morning so I hope you can click on them soon while they are still alive and kicking. I've got several of them on my watch list.

Vintage Auctions Ending Soon on eBay

I am curious to see how much that Jamboree flag goes for. I've got one from 1981 that was for a VA Council that I've been sitting on for a while. The other cool auction here is the nice Alabama group that includes a Cherokee 50 Dance Team jacket patch. As I got to publish it is just over $100 with 3 hours to go.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Closing Soon

For anybody looking to flip some patches individually for cash there is a nice lot pictured to the right that has potentially a lot of $5-$10 patches in it that could be pieced out. Just an idea for one of you entrepreneurs that likes to dabble in that.

Boy Scout Auctions Ending This Weekend

An old square Eagle patch for $25. Seems to me like most of us would buy that all day. I gave one of my students who recently earned his 1st Class a set of patches from the 1955-64 era including Tenderfoot, 2nd and 1st class. He was over the moon. Great to see a kid so excited about Scouting.

My sales have definitely slowed this week as things are headed into the Christmas season. However as you can tell by this email newsletter there are still plenty of items for sale in the category. I'm keeping watch to see if the category will reach 200,000 live items - sorta like watching the patch stock market I guess.

We visited my family over the weekend and my mom gave me her old sewing machine to replace mine that decided to die. I've got some patches that need to be sewed seeing as my daughter earned several at our recent court of honor. I'm also going to experiment over the holidays with making a campfire blanket from a simple fleece blanket. I've got a pattern for one that includes a hood. My Girl Scouts have been begging to make them at a meeting and I've got to see if I can pull it off first.
