As I've been building these Top-5 lists its been unusual to see so much competition for the best selling items. Normally, I will spot one or two items where the seller set a high minimum bid only to see a lone bidder come in to save the day. With each of the items I found from early February the bidding was pretty active. Take for example this weeks top selling item - the German Paratrooper smock. Three bidders were willing to go over $5k to get this vintage piece. However, only one bidder was willing to go high enough to trip over the reserve price and score a victory. For my money I would have been more interested in the US Antarctic group of items which included pictures, medals, and documents.
