We found these at an army surplus store for a costume party we went to ~ my husband went as Teddy Roosevelt and we sewed these onto his shoulders. They were regular $50 but we bought them for way cheaper, as the lady wanted to get rid of them.
My question is, what wording do I use on eBay so the right people will find my auction to bid? I tried looking up army stripes but there are all different kinds out there. Any help would be appreciated!

Oops sorry, yes that is the back side. I edited my post so it tells which is which now. Microbes, I did a search on eBay under w-3 stripes, and also warrent officer 3 and nothing. =( Any other words anyone can think of?

Oh, and they ain't "stripes". Stripes are for Private's, Corporal's, and Sergeant's. You know, the ones that "work for a living".
You have CW3 (Chief Warrant Officer) shoulder boards for the Army Dress Blue Uniform, Slip On Pattern. They are not from WWII and are of current manufacture.
$40.00 is excessive as you can obtain these new at an approx. price of $10.00 - $15.00. However, auctions can sometimes bring real crazy prices.
Each Branch of the Army has their own Branch Color. For example, a base color of blue would be Infantry.
The boards that you have are Medical.
You should also consider placing them on Militaria Collectibles Auction Haus.
