WoW! A $14K General’s Collection Sells on eBay

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Even if you don't collect Soviet items you might want to take a look a this blockbuster "buy-it-now" sale on eBay last week. The listing includes numerous medals and documents that are top notch. I had the #2 selling item at the top of my Hot Finds. I've often wondered how using female models in traditionally male categories works out. I don't know if this auction proves anything but that uniform went well! The other item in this top selling list you should see is the Eva Braun item. Interesting...
