    I can't believe that someone would make such a profit. I ordered two of the Buckley brooches last week direct from the RBL and they arrived within a couple of days, one for me and one for my mum and I've got to say they are gorgeous and I wear mine with pride but I certainly wouldn't be selling it to make a fast buck. I wish ebay could have some control over the profits made out of charity items.

    It's the same with the Pudsey stuff, although not on the scale as the poppy brooches. I was looking for dotty things, my son needs something, anything dotty to wear for school next week, I came across the Pudsey stuff, and people are asking double for what they are on the offical BBC site. I'll be going into Boots tomorrow, that way the money goes to the people it should be going to and not the greedy b***ers on ebay.

    Rant over :o

    Not dispatched until December though. Shame, as they're really pretty.

    Do you mean https://www.poppyshop.org.uk?

    The site says 'Please note if you order this item we cannot dispatch your Buckley Poppy Brooch until new stocks arrive early December'

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.
