One of the types of auctions that I love to see in the Hot Finds are large collections sometimes called groupings by sellers. You usually see very competitive bidding in these listings as the typical minimum bid is much less then the eventual sales price. Click on these completed auctions from the last month to see the best of the best that sold.

While researching completed auctions in the WWII category I came across these stellar listings that all sold for more than $2,000+ when all the bids were counted. A few of these sold at competitive auctions like the three USA items that topped the list. However, #4 and #5 only had to rely on one bid to complete the deal. I'm glad to say I had a couple of these listed in my Hot Finds newsletter - always a reason why you should subscribe to it using the box found in the right navigation bar of this website.

Talk about some killer uniform pieces. I'm using that term loosely to include flight jackets but still - each of the items in this top selling list went for more than $2,000+! I'm thinking that the paratrooper jacket that came in at #2 may have been helped by the insignia on the sleeve. As you click through to see these listings its no surprise that they did so well in bidding on eBay.

It looks like the thousand dollar club for WWII uniforms is a "Jacket" only organization. While researching sold items on eBay from the last week I came across these five jackets that all sold for over $1k. Its interesting that the majority of them sold with one bid - some in a buy-it-now format offering. The two items that did see some competitive bidding were US bomber jackets.

This list represents the top selling items in the United States subcategory of WWII on eBay. As usual this category gets top heavy with uniforms and flight/bomber jackets leading the charge. Last week on eBay the top selling items included four such auctions with the paratrooper helmet the only piece of gear to break out. What made the navy jacket rise to the top was the seller did a great job of explaining the signficance of the piece. Turns out it belonged to an Aviation Radio Man 2nd Class making it a rare enlisted flight jacket.
