HOF Posted January 13, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2018 Was anyone following this patch? I thought it looked genuine. Any thoughts on if this was a vintage WWII piece? The seller ended it early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted January 13, 2018 Thanks Gentlemen! It was at $10.50 yesterday and was supposed to end tonight. I was hoping for a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted January 13, 2018 Share #6 Posted January 13, 2018 English made and expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted January 13, 2018 Share #7 Posted January 13, 2018 his is probably one of those cases where the seller put up something very expensive and seeing no bids, panicked and took a cash offer. It is also possible that he got nervous and just killed the sale worried that he was going to take a bath on a cheap sale. Great patch and as Bobb said, English made. The black background on these patches fade very quickly. This one is a stellar example. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted January 13, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 13, 2018 Ive had that happen to me several times. Really sucks when it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendevilsix Posted January 14, 2018 Share #9 Posted January 14, 2018 I was watching it also and really get the butt when a seller does that. I guess someone sent the seller a message and bought it on the down low. Just guessing of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted January 15, 2018 Share #10 Posted January 15, 2018 I emailed him about it. He had uv photos and it looked like it may have been glowing a little. I will email him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted January 15, 2018 Share #11 Posted January 15, 2018 Any one have the link to the auction or does it vanish once the seller ends it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted January 15, 2018 Share #12 Posted January 15, 2018 I messaged him. Patch is currently lost and he is searching for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted January 15, 2018 Share #13 Posted January 15, 2018 I heard back. He has a house full of young kids and has had guests and the patch is currently MIA. If he finds it, it will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he finds it, it will be back. And if anyone believes that I have ocean front property in Arizona for sale. It’s gone, but out the back door.I woulda be surprised if it shows back up. Yes I can be cynical. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted January 15, 2018 Share #15 Posted January 15, 2018 There is zero reason to doubt his word. He had no idea of the value and now he is in a panic. Why lie? He has every right to end an auction and owes no one any explanation. eBay allows sellers to remove auctions. He was nice enough to reply to me. I currently cannot find a valuable patch of mine so I know it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1944 Posted January 15, 2018 Share #16 Posted January 15, 2018 Two separate back grounds on that 502nd patch you would think it would be the same backing on both sides front and back of patch ! Was he just chancing his luck i even wonder if its the same patch or just google screen shots, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted January 15, 2018 Share #17 Posted January 15, 2018 Wow. Now that is suspicious. He actually shot it in two different spots. Must be a conspiracy. Or may tried different lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has the right to tell you what ever he wants. I hope he does re-list the patch. But he could just be saying that so you don’t think he sold it out the back door.

88thcollector Posted January 18, 2018 Share #20 Posted January 18, 2018 Ok cynical people and collusion conspiracy theorists, he has found the patch stuck to the back of the mini medals he has listed. He asked if I wanted a BIN price and I told him what I would pay but told him he can likely beat my offer so reserve it at my offer and let the auction decide the price.

Kadet Posted January 18, 2018 Share #24 Posted January 18, 2018 Is there a link to the auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88thcollector Posted January 18, 2018 Share #25 Posted January 18, 2018 It hasn't been posted yet. The seller was deluged with offers to buy it. When you think you have a $5 patch and suddenly your email is full, it can be confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
