Definitely. Saw a Fatboy it the antique store tonight. I will have to go back and check to make sure it wasn't bottom dial.

I've only seen one of those and it was in a collection, those are very rare, I doubt they shave any different than a top dial FB

I'm sure. And I'm sure the one I saw was a top dial anyway. Still had a $175 price tag on it. I guess that is pretty standard.

Apparently, my version of "pretty standard pricing" and other peoples are way out of sync. If its not New In Box, why on earth would anybody pay 175 for a Fatboy? Rediculoyus!
Yard sale them for 20 tops! got my last for 35 (Excellent in box) and a slim for 10.BobH likes this.

Okay, maybe I should have said in good condition in the original case it isn't uncommon to see them go for that on eBay. But that is really a mouthful. Point taken I will definitely be hitting some yard sales this summer.

3 years ago I bought a gold plated top dial fatboy at a major antique centre in Brisbane, Australia, for $12 - with the plastic case. I thought I was laying out quite a few bucks for some old DE - I researched it afterwards and grinned. OK, I wasn't quite that naive but I really didn't know that they were worth serious money until I started to check out the auctions.

A -- the market sets the price on eBay
B -- this seller has a 100% seller rating, doesn't look like they've given anyone any problems
C -- nobody forced the buyer to buy an unaffordable, large deductible, taxpayer-subsidized Fatboy they didn't want.Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.
