Every week in the Hot Finds Newsletter I track the best selling items in the category while they are living auctions. In this blog I like to come back and revisit some of those listings after they've sold to see what are truly the best listings. This run down includes five great items that sold in the USA subcategory recently on eBay.

This list of Top 5 items from WWII on eBay includes a couple of squadron patches that have some history to tell. The USMC Night Fighters patch is a beauty. The VMF-N-532 was one of the few Marine air squadrons during the war. The need for this type of resource became apparent during the Battle of Guadalcanal when the Navy was unable to successfully attack Japanese aircraft carriers at night. The VMF squadron flew planes that featured radar equipped aircraft, ground based radar and personnel that provided Ground-controlled interception (GCI). The F4U Corsair was a primary plane flown and was based on carriers. The 14th Air Commando Squadron is really more of a post war group that makes a name for itself in the Vietnam conflict. Operations included close and direct air support, interdiction, combat airlift, aerial resupply, visual and photographic reconnaissance, unconventional warfare, counterinsurgency operations, psychological warfare (including leaflet dropping and aerial broadcasting), forward air control operations and escort, search and rescue, escort for convoy and defoliation operations, flare drops, civic actions, and humanitarian actions. Be sure to click on these auction so you can see the items up close - they are worth it!

One of the really fun things to try and sneak up and find on eBay is a great mixed lot that has lots of poorly photographed items with tremendous value. That's why when you look at the bidding pattern in a few of these auctions you will see that a lot of people had the same idea. Its easy to see why these type of listings end up on eBay all the time now. You have a whole nation of people going to estate sales, storage shed auctions and the like. When they get these groupings in an old footlocker they don't have that proprietary knowledge that a deal has. So they lump in one lot and throw themselves at the mercy of the bidding audience. Click on these links and see how you think they did.
