Default Unbelievable price for FAA Air Mechanic 'L' patch

This one just sold for the unbelievable price of £75.89...

I can only imagine that the successful bidder - as well as the 'runner up' - thought this to be an obscure RFC or early RAF trade patch, rather than a WW2 Fleet Air Arm trade patch.

Certainly, a 'coup' for the seller!

I must confess to being a little niggled, as I was bidding on it myself, but would never stretch to this amount for such a patch.

Hi Doug

Better hold on to the ones I sold you. They must now be worth thousands.

Indeed!

On a more serious note, I would like to think that the buyer somehow realises the error and seeks to return the item and that the seller responds accordingly.
