United States World War Two – Top Auctions

Monday, September 26, 2011

Last week on eBay the top five auctions in the USA subcategory included three blades which strikes me as a bit unusual. However, the fact that two flight jackets also made the list doesn't seem out of place at all. The #1 auction started off at just $9.99 but after 22 bids closed at $2700. A very close 2nd place was the Marine bowie knife that started at $100 and nearly crossed the finish line ahead of the A2 jacket. The exception to all this great bidding in the auction format was the V-42 Stiletto which came out with a very high minimum bid and got that bid to sell for over two grand. Not a bad top 5 considering that every item sold for more than 2k.

Italian World War II Uniforms on eBay

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

When I'm following the WWII category of eBay I confess that I'm mostly watching the USA category. When I'm tempted to drift I spend time looking at German, Japanese or Russian items. Rarely do I click over to see what's selling from Italy but when I did recently I was pleasantly surprised. These five Italian uniforms were competitive auctions that did very well on eBay. Click on these links to see what they ended at.
