I guess a few of you noticed that I did not get an issue out last Thursday. It being Christmas there was just a little too much excitement at the house for me to slip away and handle my editor duties. I hoe you can get your ebay gixe with this issue.
There is some small print on that Medal of Honor listing that lets you know it is a museum copy. However, the seller is out of the UK so I don't know if he is as worried about the law over hear. I do think eBay would shut down the auction listing if it was an authentic copy but that is pretty unlikely considering how many have been awarded.
I guess I can't fault the seller of the nice German photo album for putting bright water marks on all this listing photos. You can still enjoy seeing the pictures including a photo of a black soldier which makes you think how did that scene unfold.
The title sounds kinda cool - motorcycle dispatch coat but the auction is a little disappointing. There is no unit insignia and the coat has only attracted a single bidder.
The bidding is going really well for that nice bolo knife pictured below. It's up to 22 bids and is over $200.
By the end of the week I should be opening a second antique mall location in Florence, SC. This one is at the Palmetto Peddlers which is a really nice mall right near the intersection of I-95 and I-20.
