Cufflinks Sold for $4K

Indigo Knight · Jan 27, 2018

Any thoughts on why this lot of cufflinks went so high? I don't know much about vintage jewelry.

completed eBay item 192432524048

This is not my listing, I just saw it when searching for something similar.

Well, 7 unique bidders saw something.

I don't really know much but the seller lists Swank, Anson, Hickok U.S.A., Shield, etc. as makers - maybe they are top of the line?

I have no clue why that lot of average run of the mill looking cufflinks sold for that amount? The seller had other comparative lots of cufflinks and those mostly sold for less than a 100 bucks. Ya got me on why someone would pay that much for what I consider cheap Five & Dime cufflinks. Maybe those automotive wire wheel cufflinks are genuine Duesenberg cufflinks :dontknow:

So I'm not the only one who thinks this way. The bidding pattern is unusual for such a high value item. Usually money laundering listings are all BIN these days and use modern consumer goods, not vintage items.

You have to use the advanced search function and search completed listings. It used to be that if you put a completed listings number into the search field, eBay would automatically search completed listings as well. However, this feature was recently changed, I believe within the past 6 months.
