German Auctions Putting The Helmet On

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Of the best selling listings in the German subcategory over the last thirty days 4/5 were auctions. In fact all four of those started with minimum bids of $10 or less and finished well above $1k. In fact to see the amount of bids that the helmets especially got you can see that the magic of the auction format was at work. The top selling auction below had four different bidders chip in during the last ninety seconds. Another auction had some serious insurance bids. The high bidder on the should boards grabbed the lead with 3 days to go. He must have been pretty nervous about keeping it because he came back six more times to increase his high bid.

Super Japanese Blades Getting Top Bids

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

The beauty of eBay is the old fashioned auction. The top 3 items in this list all started as auctions with the lowest one marked at a minimum bid of .99 cents. These top selling items rank the #1 - #5 auctions judged by final bidding. Some of them did see some nasty bidding wars. For example take the #2 item - the Samuri Sword. It was bid up to $3100 and was bid up another $1k in the last two seconds by a pair of snipers that rung in.

Best Selling WWII Items from the Last Month!

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Here are the Top-5 selling items from the last thirty days on eBay. So how many times can you (or anybody) say they've seen an auction go from $1 to $12,000 in the span of a 7-day auction? One of the Top 5 items below actually did that. The flip side is I also have an item that was listed at $20,000 but sold for about 1/3 of that using the BIN "best offer" option. In this grouping you can also find a .99 cent auction that cracked the $5k mark thanks to a pair of snipes.
