Would you be surprised if I told you that WWII collectors like to snipe? Probably not! I've got evidence for you in the top selling items from last week in the WWII category of eBay. For example in the best auction on the WASP wings there were five bidders who chipped in at over $2k. However, 4 of those bids were snipes coming in the last thirty seconds. Needless, to say the one with the most firepower took it home after the priced jumped by over a thousand dollars during that barrage. The #2 item, the Captain's helmet, went much the same way. The price jumped nearly a thousand dollars in the last minute thanks to four snipers - one of which was the good old fashion type who was sitting at his computer doing it manually. Click the text links to see that action on these great pieces for yourself.
