WWII German Auctions To Shout About!

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

I've seen plenty of insurance bids on auctions but its pretty weak when you make that bid be only $1 stronger than your current high bid.  In the auction for the German paratrooper helmet that is what the bidding history revealed.  Going into the last few minutes the high bidder "padded his bid" by a total of $7 with four insurance bids.  However, if he was trying to hold off the snipers it didn't work.  A pair of snipes came in during the final seconds and the one for $1332 carried the day.  I mention that because the other three items in this list started off with a really high minimum bid and only got the one bid that counts.

Its never too hard to find Japanese swords selling on eBay for more than $1k.  Just so happens that last week there were more than five that surpassed that high water mark.  The other thing that is interesting about this group is that save for one - all had really competitive bidding.
