Every issue of the Hot Finds includes numerous items that you could call BSA equipment. Knives are among the most popular items but you also see lots of axes, hatchets, bugles, and even the occasional tent. This blog post highlights some of the recent big sellers in that small niche in the Scouting memorabilia hobby.
In the Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter I often get to equipment items but a few of these did not make the list. Its always interesting to someone who is more of a patch guy how much these items go for. If you are in that category as well you might want to click on these and see how well they did.
I know you wouldn't think that a pinewood derby race car could show up in a Hot Finds blog post but you would be surprised to see what this one sold for. I don't think any of the other listings would be a surprise for you.
In one of the upcoming Boy Scout Memorabilia Prices Realized Guides I'm going to feature this category of Boy Scout memorabilia. The book will include several hundred items including knives, axes, bugles, and other equipment and miscellaneous Scouting items that sold for over $100. The items I've included in this post are recent items that won't be in that book which highlights the best of 2011.
So who says that patches are the only thing really worth looking at in the Boy Scout category of eBay. There are lots of other items that get bids and do very well thank you so I've got some of those featured in this post. I think I may have had a few of these included in my Hot Finds Newsletter as well.
I've never posted something like this on the blog so let me tell you that this video is touching on a sensitive subject but it is hilarious if you have a sense of humor. The Onion News has made a business of doing satirical news shows and videos and this one just happens to feature two boys pretending to be Scouts who are working on a very unique Eagle Scout Project. If you get offended easily PLEASE don't watch this video. Its just for fun.
