Sometimes reading all the way through the questions section of an auction provides such a treat. Such is the case with the top selling item last week on eBay - the paratrooper trousers. If you follow the link below you can see that the seller was offered $4500 to shut the auction down early. Luckily for himself and the rest of us he shunned that offer and let it roll. And roll it did - with 4 different bidders offering over $10,000 for the auction. You'll have to click over to see the final price. The other auctions below round out the Top-5 list from the last week in World War II on eBay.
