Three bidders came up to the plate and were willing to spend $1500 or more on the bombsight. That was the lead off item for this run down of the best USA equipment in the WWII category. In fact every item included in this Top-5 list from last week sold for $1k or more. The crazy thing is if you take a close look at the #5 item I just can't fathom that it brought that kind of money. Anybody care to comment on that auction?

Well I missed the exact cut off day for this to be the official 1st quarter report but hey Jan 16 - Apr 10 is pretty close. It will definitely do if you take a minute to look at these charts and see what they reveal about the category. I figured there are about four different ways to slice this apple and I've presented each of them here for you to see. What I think you will find is that there is an amazing equilibrium in the category from week to week. I'd love to see a comment in the response section if any of these figures interest or surprise you.

Talk about some killer uniform pieces. I'm using that term loosely to include flight jackets but still - each of the items in this top selling list went for more than $2,000+! I'm thinking that the paratrooper jacket that came in at #2 may have been helped by the insignia on the sleeve. As you click through to see these listings its no surprise that they did so well in bidding on eBay.
