What a shame, sorry about that Loz.
I did go to the site last night, it took about 5 minutes to get through, but the brooches where still there as I was showing a friend them.
Obviously, as they were being hyped up on the net, people where buying them to make a killing.
It makes me mad that Ebay should be selling them and people making profits which should be going to the British Legion.

It's obscene what they are going for on Ebay. There are loads of them, all with bids an folks are too daft or have too much money, to see the profit is going to the seller and not to the British Legion

I have been for a look it's absolutely disgraceful.  I note some of the sellers are giving 10% to the British Legion!! what a laugh people will think they are being really good.  They don't realise these brooches have been bought for £9.99 from the British Legion.  What a lot of low lives are crawling around Ebay.
I bought my brooch because I wanted to wear it.  I did not want to profit from the resale.
Ebay should stop these sales immediately.

Especially for Loz,  
If you go into Morrisons and buy the special bunches of flowers with the Poppy Emblem. They donate 10p to the B.L. and give you a free packet of poppies seeds with each bunch.
(See the brooches on Ebay are flying one made £152 last night.

Thanks Jacqui I want to go to Ikea tomorrow and I think there is a Morrisons near there.

I am keeping an eye on the poppyshop as one of the sites state that they are awaiting stock.
