Monday, April 14, 2014

Well I don't know if I could justify lighting a fire underneath this Hot Finds pick.  An estate sale turned up this item WWII US Navy Officers Submarine Dolphin Insignia Brass Fireplace Andirons which ended up getting 91 bids!  Now that is the power of eBay.  I am sure the seller was thrilled to see what a little competitive bidding can do.  That auction hands down had the most bids in this rundown.  Check out the other big winners in this run down of the Top Ten auctions in the WWII category on eBay.
