This blog entry features the top selling items last week in the WWII subcategory for United States on eBay. One lesson that these items demonstrate is that a story with documentation can exponentially increase the value of a collectible. Would you have thought that the Case V-44 knife would sell for over $10k? If not you need to click over and read the history of this particular piece. Moving on to the bomber jacket lot - it isn't so surprising that this group of items did so well. It might surprise you to know the seller starting the bidding at .99! Every auction featured here sold for north of $1k so click the link and check them out.
