Default Someone has been busy!

Thought I'd share this, someone has kept themselves busy over lockdown.

Well at least we should be on the look-out for these, what a great pointer.

It won't be the only ones. I am pretty sure somebody has made a big batch of Corps of Commissionaires cap badges.

I'm struggling to see much profit in it for them. 300 for £399.00 = £1.33 per badge (in fact less as it looks like they accepted an offer). There may be no overheads, but there must be costs and time and effort in manufacturing each badge. They may be made elsewhere in the world and shipped in. The next person down the line and sold individually at £9.99 each over time possibly.....just struggling to see the profit for this seller at this point of sale if he made them.

.....Let alone ebay, paypal and shipping fees!
