The beauty of eBay is the old fashioned auction. The top 3 items in this list all started as auctions with the lowest one marked at a minimum bid of .99 cents. These top selling items rank the #1 - #5 auctions judged by final bidding. Some of them did see some nasty bidding wars. For example take the #2 item - the Samuri Sword. It was bid up to $3100 and was bid up another $1k in the last two seconds by a pair of snipers that rung in.

OK, so if you were going to research eBay and write a blog about the best selling auctions in the Japanese subcategory what do you expect would make the Top-5 list for last week. Hmm...you would probably guess 80% of the list would include the highly collectible blades and possibly a helmet or equipment piece might slip in the charts. Well if that was your first guess then you were right. I did that little research project and found five auctions that sold for over $1k in the category. Click to see what they went for along with more pictures and the description.

If you want to see the Top-5 recent sales in the Japanese category of WWII on eBay you know there are going to be some sharp auctions in there. In fact only one item made it in this list that wasn't a sword. These auctions were so good that none of them sold for less than $2,000.

Aside from some of the top pieces I had in the earlier post (see Eva Braun dress etc) these were the best USA items that sold last week on eBay. You can tell that a single seller carried the day with #1 and #2 selling items in the category. The #3 and #4 items were both pilot jackets that went for more than $2,000. The sign that wraps up the list is one of those one-of-a-kind items that you can only find on eBay.

Would you believe all of these great knives sold in the last week on eBay? The two top selling items were strong enough to go for over $2500. The bottom half of this Top-5 list was not as strong but even the low man on the totem pole sold for over $600.
