I was having fun scrolling through ebay and when i was done i noticed that i bid on 12 razors. I'm sure i wont win them all (or even any). Got me thinking...i bet there are some funny stories of how many razors you bid on and won

Nope , when I bid on them first I am more than happy if I win them at that price :<0) Usually I have to get them in the last few seconds if I want them. Now I have won things I forgot I bid on thinking I was only the first to bid. By the way, you wouldn't need a 6,000 lb anchor would ya ?
I have won a couple of razors throwing in a low bid a long way from ending. It's been pretty rare for me. I've gotten some others that I watched and was shocked that they went for that little. Sometimes I think that everyone else must have been sleeping. The thing with the bay is they go high and they go low. Make sure you want what you bid on.
Drinking and Bidding...
can lead to serious consequences to those of us afflicted with RAD,
especially if there is a SWMBO. :hmmm:
(i just won a trio)
(sober)
(i'm going to drink to that)
:beer1:
I may have a blade or two that I've won without realizing I'd bid. However, I'm positive someone else has my account login info and bids in the middle of the night on my behalf. Either that or I should give up scotch when I awake at 0300 with insomnia. ...the bay is spastic sometimes, couldn't possibly be me.
OOPS somebuddy bought a Zulu Gray from this computer last night...who was that?!
daggum HAD :shrug:
Two have been purchased so far.....more to come
I hate when I make offers that are half of the BIN price and they all say yes... Then I HAVE to buy them ;-)
Woke up this morning....a third has been purchased!
And a fourth......
5th..... Wade and Butcher wedge. Only 3 left where im still the highest bid
It's your money, don't let up. Get those blades into good hands.Quote:

Sometimes you pay large for a razor you want, sometimes, you log on, and just newly listed by someone who doesn't really understand razors, lists a great condition W&B 7/8 Celebrated Hollow Ground Chopper, with original coffin box, for a buy it now price of $120, from within your own country, one province away, like that exact one I got the other day...it's being cleaned up and rescaled as we speak...great find.Quote:

Yes, just pm'd Boxertim about what I thought it would go for....couldn't believe it, was just listed, in Montreal, Buy It Now, for $120...figured I'd it was a misprint or it would never arrive, or it would be in terrible shape, arrived two days later, it's off at Val's of TheGentlemansDen for a clean, honing and rescaling...he was blown away, couldn't believe I got it for that price.Quote:

Guess my E-Bay mojo is used up for the next year....
