For some reason several of the picks in today's look at the top selling auctions on eBay have a reserve. I understand why sellers need to do that and I guess now the collectors have to decide just how bad they want it.
Top Selling Auctions in the USA Category
Man this is a pretty tough category when you have an auction on a helmet that is over $2000 in heavy bidding and the reserve has not been met! If that's more than you can afford there are some nice war bonds posters in today's issue for less than $200. I'm also watching the tank destroyer patch.
The two familiar friends are once again tops in this German category. Helmets and any type of blade are very popular in this category week in and week out.
Some of the best selling items I feature every week in the newsletter are those representing the Airborne. In this block the Canadian officers cap badge is lights out hot with 19 bids and over $1100 in bidding.
One of my favorite types of listings is one that includes a complete uniform with some of the gear that you can put a name to. Pictured below is a grouping from Sgt. Harshbarger who served in the 91st Wild West Division. Right now it's got 15 bids but hasn't made it to the reserve yet.
I hope readers are enjoying my effort to publish the newsletter earlier in the morning. I'm also trying to promote it on Facebook in different groups. If you ever miss an issue of the newsletter you can turn to my website
www.WWIIHotFinds.com for an archive.
Happy Hunting,

ARE YOU A POWERSELLER IN THE MILITARY CATEGORY?
I have been publishing the WWII Hot Finds Newsletter since February 2010 and would like to expand the reach by partnering with some Powersellers in the category. If you are interested in getting an ad in the email newsletter that would point to your eBay store/listings then
shoot me an email. We can talk about how we can partner to bring you more eyes and hopefully increase your sales.
