\"\"<\/a>Ray Gould pointed out an auction which recently ended on eBay<\/a>. I’m not sure weather to consider this a Knowledge is Power Item or Oh My god it went for how much!!<\/p>\n

The seller started the auction at $4.99, with a description which read “Very old felt patch. 1.50 S&H. Thanks!” Fortunately, he included all of the words which appear on the patch in the auction title. “Very Old Wetassa Lodge 227,U.S. Grant Council Patch”<\/p>\n

This was enough to allow those in the know to find the auction<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Twenty Three bids later, the item clsoed at $ 9,102.27.\u00c2\u00a0 There were 6 bidders over $ 2000,\u00c2\u00a0 4 of them over $ 5000 and two who slugged it out to over $ 9000.<\/p>\n

The seller does not appear to be a regular seller of Scouting items, and his last 100 sales, the highest priced item was $ 132.50 with most items falling in the $ 10 – 50 range.<\/p>\n

How would you like to be that seller?\u00c2\u00a0 With 5 days to go, he knew he had a $ 2,000 sale, with two days left, it was a\u00c2\u00a0 $ 3,000 sale, and it made the rest in the last 4 hours of the auction.<\/p>\n
