Are there any Cobra Warrior patches left or have they been completely sold out? I was hoping to get an Indian patch.

Indians were at wave today with a load and apparently they're back tomorrow around 10am

The 349 patch is amazing, very lucky to get one of them on their trip to the wave!

2 sold for over £100 on ebay recently, Would never pay that amount for a patch no matter how much I wanted it.

Indians were not happy about their stuff being on eBay at silly prices.

Not sure how it will affect future sales of their stuff.

It's just greed from these people on ebay and like you said it could affect future sales for genuine people who actually do collet patches.

Same happened after the Sukhois were at Coningsby, no noticeable impact on this contingent's desire to sell merch, The visiting dets through LN don't stop selling to the public when their stuff goes onto eBay at silly prices. The readiness of the market there does seem to encourage price inflation from the visitors, a trend also noticeable at RIAT where the stampede to buy merch means few actually balk at the asking price. Case in point - Mildehall patches were selling for £20ish at RIAT a few years back, yet a few weeks later the same patch was £6 at KB..

I can recall not so long ago, rare patches were never sold for cash, but rather saved for trading for other rare patches. How times change :(
