Top 5 German WWII Collectibles For The Week

January 5, 2010

The end of 2009 in the German subcategory of WWII collectibles finished with a nice mix of items finding new homes in spirited bidding.  The two top selling items really turned into bidding wars that are interesting to look at.  The German rifle scope was a long 10-day auction that saw 9 different bidders get into the game.  Once the bidding eclipsed $3k there were only a pair of bidders still swinging away.  In fact during the last few hours of the auction these two slugged back and forth trading almost thirty bids between them until the last ten minutes when the high bidder looked comfortably in the lead. But as often happens on eBay a new bidder snipped in with 59 seconds to go and stole the prize.  In the bidding for the Luftwaffe jacket again it came down to two bidders who were willing to push over $3k.  However, this time there was no sniper waiting in the bushes and the winning bidder took the prize.  However, you can tell he was nervous because he placed three insurance bids (raising his max) in the span of three minutes towards the end.
