Haven't had many scribes up for sale online lately.  Should run a daily ebay search to stoke the sellers, lol.

If you find them, post them here.

On eBay, this one looks nice:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170540725982&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

Starting bid $10, but here's the catch: you have to arrange for pickup from Mentor, Ohio.
Saves on shipping costs, that's for sure. 

I think a good selling price for this would be around $25-30, but who knows? With the shipping cost eliminated, bidders might be willing to pay more or no one might bid because there are no interested locals.

Funny thing is, I know somebody who lives there, but she never gets up HERE.  Could be a problem.  :)

You could figure out how much shipping would cost separately.  Sometimes the ebay sellers charge more for shipping to cover their packaging costs, etc.

Another scribe - not a great bargain at $56+, but it's your money.

It's selling for the price that the pink figure skates autographed by Tai Babilonia should be selling at.

Ticks me off. I keep looking on there for scribes and never see them. Then my friend told me this one was there, and when I looked it was already sold.

If anyone sees another one, PLEASE let me know!

At $200 opening bid, way too rich for my blood:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Scribe-M-M-Peep-Ice-Figure-Skating-Tool-Portland-Sport-Measuring-Rare-/130917820784?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

The tassels on the end are cute - was the handlegrip replaced or do you think it came that way originally?
