Yeah. Well, to be truthful, I bid at the last minute, but lately buying razors I almost always only bid on something that's not got any bids. As mean as I might have sounded, I figure if someone wants something enough to show a bid, I'll just stay out of the way. As you say, it's not like I need another one. My specialty seems to be divining condition from bad photos, so I think that's why I'm getting things easy, without competition.

I'll always go $15 on something that might pan out OK or maybe not, and I've gotten a couple of honeys, thanks to really rotten pix, so I'm staying ahead. I got one the other day with one tiny blurry photo that had just a little rust on the grip and a pure black blade, but no wear on the spine and no chips. I thought about the black blade that nothing can be that bad so I bought it for $10. Turns out the whole blade was perfect--unused--and the black was entirely shadow.
