Its not often that an auction jumps over $1,00o+ in less than 10 seconds. However, when you have two monster snipes come in on top of each other that is what happens. The #1 selling item had that bidding pattern and was one of the best items that sold recently in the category. The pair of 509th patches sold for almost the exact price but were won by different bidders. The pilot's wings saw 10 bids in the last few hours of the auction including three that too it over $1k.

Would you believe all of these great knives sold in the last week on eBay? The two top selling items were strong enough to go for over $2500. The bottom half of this Top-5 list was not as strong but even the low man on the totem pole sold for over $600.

Three bidders came up to the plate and were willing to spend $1500 or more on the bombsight. That was the lead off item for this run down of the best USA equipment in the WWII category. In fact every item included in this Top-5 list from last week sold for $1k or more. The crazy thing is if you take a close look at the #5 item I just can't fathom that it brought that kind of money. Anybody care to comment on that auction?

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.

Its pretty unusual to see an auction take 21 bids to finally reach the reserve and for that to be the exact selling price thanks to a snipe. However, that unlikely scenario describes the theater made 509th patch which was the best patch to sell on WWII eBay over the last couple of weeks. For my money I probably would have gone after the Deathheads squadron patch just because its too cool. The rest of the Top-5 is pretty diverse - everything from a plastic Polish badge to a ridiculously large mixed lot.
