Just wondering if any other ebay sellers that have a USA Flag up for auction are getting an email like below ??? ( I deleted the link and phone # & Buyers name )
I listed a flag last night and offered a buy me now but already have a bid on it.
Email reads ~
We are business in need of an USA American 50 state flag. We are offering $50.00 now with payment for overnight shipping. Please let me know as soon as possible as we are making this same offer to all who have flags. Payment will be made by PayPal immediately

Around my neck of the woods the stores are out of flags. There is a radio station giving away the little hand flags and they have reported businesses offering to donate BIG BUCKS to Red Cross if they can have a case to give flags to their employees.
It is not the normal time of year for flags, you got to get them any way you can.

I have been making flag pens all day and putting boxes of them at the local merchants to hand out for free.

It ain't the worst thing I have seen but I have noticed a few people making a good profit exploiting the red,white and blue right now. I suppose I should wonder over to walmart and pick up a few flags and sell them to AMERICANS that can not get them right now that want to show their loyality. Maybe I will charge them 1 cent with a Bin and charge $50.00 for shipping.
One power seller alone had over 40 auctions for flags, at least they used a different number of ! on the end of each description. Guess that does not violate the eBay 10 rule.

Gracious! We had several extra flags in the basement we'd been offering to friends & neighbors. Never crossed my mind to sell them! Guess I'll just never make a good opportunist.
Gosh, wonder what my large one that was flown over the U.S. Capitol for me (complete w/certificate) would bring! Just kidding, there's not enough money on earth to pry it out of my hands!

SELL YOUR FLAGS! Do not leave them sitting - fly them or sell them to someone that will fly them!
Our news has been reporting since Thursday morning that all Wal-Mart, K-Marts, and other stores are out of flags. So were do you go to get one....ebay!
