20,737.00 Euros….Is that A Lot of Money?

Ok I have to confess that I didn't see this one but one of the Hot Finds readers sent it to me and its just too special not to share and get some feedback on. I won't give to much commentary until you've had a chance to see it.   Lot écussons Tissus EDF Scout Jamboree 1947     The...Read More

Is The Tribe Mug Driving This Auction?

I almost never (ok Never) have a Scout coffee mug in the Hot Finds but I've made an exception this time and the Tuesday edition will include this listing. So the question I have is what gives with all the bids and run up on this group of four mugs. Normally you can't give these things away on eBay because...Read More

The Hot Finds always keeps an eye out for the more unusual things in the Boy Scout category of eBay that are ringing up big sales.

A Sad Story For This Great 1950s Merit Badges Sash

I saw this on eBay and my heart goes out to the seller. This is a really good looking sash but alas there is some kind of strange red stain on the bottom that neither of us can explain. I'm not sure if its juice or some bleach or what but maybe some of the badges can come off the...Read More

Boy Scout Equipment Has Its Day In The Sun

I almost never blog about Boy Scout equipment which seemed like a perfectly good reason to feature four recent auctions that did pretty well in the Boy Scout category of eBay. I'll admit I'm one of those people who thinks if you've seen one Scout bugle you've seen them all but obviously that is not the case. Has anyone else...Read More

You will probably want to hit the "Full Screen" button in the bottom right...Read More

Boy Scout CSP / Half Strips All Have One Thing In Common

This blog post takes a look back at some of the better selling auctions from the last week for collectors of shoulder insignia. It just so happens that three of these are for Fort Eustis.

Ok Somebody Clue Me In Here

I spotted this pretty ordinary shirt while building the Hot Finds and had to scratch my head. What am I missing. This shirt already has a bid that is higher than many other listings that I've searched through. What are the chances the seller is shill bidding? If you have ideas as to why its so high please fill us...Read More

Prewar Boy Scout Books: A Thing of Beauty

I think the laws of supply and demand really come into affect when you are talking about books that are 100 years old like these early Scout handbooks that recently sold on eBay. Just how many 1910 editions can there possibly be left in the world? Probably not enough to satisfy Scout collectors desire to have one especially since we...Read More

OA Flaps In “Huge” Lots

The mixed lots in this blog post are worth talking about. At first you might suspect that the same sellers had these two listed. Its not often you see the words "huge" used in a Boy Scout auction title. However, these were indeed by two different sellers. I wrote a little bit about the #2 lot that got 19 bids...Read More
