Meh, not to worry, Mike. Lots of Pumas coming out of the woodwork, esp in Japan. So many are for sale now, the price will keep going down. Besides, I had one and sold it. Worth too much. Nothing magical about them. Just a good razor. You will require a 6/8 anyway.

I have a super shorty puma 89 that was hugely chipped near the center. Used a dremel cutter and sander to get it back to shave worthy. It's about as long as a cartridge razor, which is actually quite nice for the hard to reach spots. The steel is amazing, cuts hair like no other razor I have off of the 1k. I'll post some pics later on when I'm not a few drinks in lol. I just sold a puma 39 not long ago on the bay. It was from japan and had the typical toe hone wear. Someone got a real nice deal...

@OP: why don't you use an auction sniper? I use Gixen, itis free. For 6 USD you buy their mirror service, which means they send your max bid from 2 computers simultaneously. It is useful if you really really really want an item. In once lost an item not having the mirror service due to Gixen having an issue with the free server.

Then, you are competing against those who do same. may as well buy the lottery.
Manual bid at last seconds will be the way to go. Always has been?

Whatever way you bid you are competing against those doing the same. I can only see advantages of a sniper. You simply enter your max bid and forget about it. And you don't waste time watching the last minutes of the bidding. You get a mail as soon as you win the item.
Moreover, you will not be tempted to raise your max bid last minute and end up buying something for more than you initially intended. Last minute frenzy made me do things I regretted later.
