Terrific Insignia, Patches Topping the Auction Charts

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Its not often that an auction jumps over $1,00o+ in less than 10 seconds.  However, when you have two monster snipes come in on top of each other that is what happens.  The #1 selling item had that bidding pattern and was one of the best items that sold recently in the category.  The pair of 509th patches sold for almost the exact price but were won by different bidders.  The pilot's wings saw 10 bids in the last few hours of the auction including three that too it over $1k.

Uncle Sam’s Best Gear

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Three bidders came up to the plate and were willing to spend $1500 or more on the bombsight.  That was the lead off item for this run down of the best USA equipment in the WWII category.  In fact every item included in this Top-5 list from last week sold for $1k or more.  The crazy thing is if you take a close look at the #5 item I just can't fathom that it brought that kind of money.  Anybody care to comment on that auction?
