How does an eBay seller who seemingly only lists fake items have a ratio of feedback that is 1552/1 positive vs. negative over the last year? Is everybody happy to buy cheap knock offs? This
guy came to my attention because he has fake Scout patches that are priced deceptively high. I hope you don't mind me calling out a bad apple as the items are not listed as what they are.

The frame of patches below caught my eye because it appears to be a museum display that is being sold off in chunks. I recently got on consignment a similar display on Scout stuff that I'm going to have listed soon. When you sell something that others have seen before behind glass that's pretty good.
German holsters seem like an iconic item that gets lots of bids when they are listed on eBay. It's just one of the quirky things in this hobby where each country has unique items they are known for that are now collectibles.
You know the old history teacher in me likes war posters. I had to read the description on the Canadian one listed below because at first it didn't trigger my memory. ARP stands for Air Raid Protection and the poster features a whistle. Luckily I don't believe Canada faced any true air raids. I know in America even in small towns teenage boys were trained as plane spotters and would stand watch on roof tops.
This weekend I get to spend the whole weekend camping with the Scouts and will have the chance to trade memorabilia which is one of my favorite activities. I hope your weekend is looking good as well.
Happy Hunting,
