How did I miss These?

When I sat down Monday night to write the Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter I didn't look far enough in the future to see these great listings that would be ending today (Thursday).

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

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 couple of weeks ago there were several 1933 items that did really well and I've got two of them in here that are a little unusual. The most interesting listing in this blog...Read More

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

Bizzaro Big Jim Award

We used the term Big Jim Award on this forum to describe listings where the seller has something WAY overpriced due to ignorance. Well how about today I offer a bizzaro world Big Jim.

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
