Anybody who has spent much time on eBay knows that despite all the barriers there is still some private deals being struck on the marketplace. Since I included that Weasel below the auction has been closed. Not banned or removed just ended early. It could mean there was an error in the listing but it could also signal somebody made a deal.
I've often thought that some items in the category would make really cool things to have sitting around your house. They could be things that visiting guests would absolutely feel compelled to pick up and talk about. Who wouldn't train their eye down the gunner sight listed below and make some machine guns sound like a little kid.
This block includes several swords and other Japanese items. The helmet pictured below includes some blood stains on the strap if we can trust the description. How about that for battle worn gear.
Good picks from World War I in this block including some neat helmets and a nice old All-American bullion.

This block features United States pieces that are ending soon on eBay. I only selected the ones getting the most competitive bids to include. The way I write the newsletter that counts as a vote with a bidder raising their hand saying yeah this is a good pick.
There are many German picks that are in the double digits in terms of bidding. This category is the 2nd largest in WWII and has lots of listings every week.
Italy the RAF and many other picks made it into this round-up block that catches the smaller subcategories in the WWII marketplace.
Swords and knives are always popular in the newsletter and this WWI block features several that are doing well on eBay.

You can find multiple uniforms and groupings in the United States block. Also check out the helmets and knives which are doing really well.
German listings make up about 1/3 of the auctions that I feature in every issue on WWII items. Do you think the guy could have ironed that coat below a little before putting it up for bid?
How about Mongolia for a pick that is a little out there? The medal pictured below is Mongolian Order of the Combat Red Banner and it's doing quite well. I'm sure that didn't turn up on too many of your saved searches.
In just about every issue I've been able to feature another nice listing of complete uniform groupings because a big seller is breaking up his collection.
