Great Items From Britain

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Its been a while since I checked in on the Great Britain subcategory to see what's been selling there. All of the items here sold for over $800 and all but one were competitive auctions. The thing that has me scratching my head is the calvary helmet. The seller has it on a buy-it-now with seven more available. At over $1500 each that is some serious inventory!

What Are The Best “Dull” Items in Japan?

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Every one of the categories in WWII on eBay has its own character. When it comes to the Japanese subcategory the top selling items week after week are always swords and other "sharp" items. For that reason I wanted to change things up for this blog post and ask what are the non-sword items that sold for over $1500 in this category over the last thirty days. One pattern you can see is that all were competitive auctions.

Best Selling American Insignia

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

I am a bit of a patch hound so I have a keen interest in WWII insignia and particularly USA items. While I did have the highest selling item as a big lot the rest of these great auctions were single patches. They all went for hundreds of dollars in listings that sometimes only needed a single bid to make it on this list.
