It seems like one of the classic pieces of collectibles that will never go out of vogue is the flight jacket. A quick check of recent eBay auctions revealed two very different jackets that did well. You might be surprised to see how much the paratrooper jump pants went for after registering 12 bids.

Uniforms - now that is a WWII collectible that gets the juices going. Whether its an American bomber jacket or grey German uniform those auctions get some action.

One of my favorite quick blog themes is to post Top-5 lists from different categories or genres of collecting in the hobby. Today I'm serving up a Top-5 for USA auctions that sold recently on eBay. Each of these listings was a competitive auction that sold for more than $1,000+ on eBay.

Sometimes reading all the way through the questions section of an auction provides such a treat. Such is the case with the top selling item last week on eBay - the paratrooper trousers. If you follow the link below you can see that the seller was offered $4500 to shut the auction down early. Luckily for himself and the rest of us he shunned that offer and let it roll. And roll it did - with 4 different bidders offering over $10,000 for the auction. You'll have to click over to see the final price. The other auctions below round out the Top-5 list from the last week in World War II on eBay.

Each area of collecting in WWII memorabilia has its strengths. The Russians have their medals, the Japanese have their blades, and the Americans have their Flight Jackets. Among the top 10 selling items from last week in the United States subcategory of eBay WWII half of them were jackets or uniforms featured below. As a group they all sold in competitive auctions and sold for over a thousand dollars. Having watched the category for some time now I think this was an extraordinary week for these pieces.
