They must not be in AU, Oz! A metal detector can gather dozens of Bengalls right off the side of the road down there.

I'll BOW to your knowledge.

I've asked the seller if there was a Typo Mistake/I'll let you know what I get.

Probably not a typo. I see this all the time. I restore a razor to shave ready and charge a reasonable price and get no bid. But some joker comes along with the same razor all broken, asks more than I did and gets it. Makes no sense.

Na. I don't think they get it half the time, personally. The shill wins it and it gets listed again down the road with a lighter shill bid.
Could be wrong. Am all the time!

But that can get really expensive with all the new ebay rate changes and charges. Losing ~20-50 bux every toss of the coins could be a beast.
Cheaper to be honest! At least I think so..............

With as much as I look, I have seen it several times. Same razor sold to someone. Shows up again 3 or 4 months later by the same seller. If they don't do it so much as to raise a flag, it can be that the sale is cancelled and fees returned. I think Ebay has access to IP addresses, so a buddy is doing it. Listing fees are chump change. NOT that this is what is going on here, IMO. Misinformed seller, perhaps. Probably did a search on Bengalls! Has many items on and only one razor. Will go down 'til sold, I expect.
