Thread: 8/8 W&B......WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knew that was crazy and wouldn't fly, does it explain the other bid though?

Watched another W&B, The Celebrated, Hollow Ground Razor, For Barber's Use go for $510.00 USD last night...with the exchange rate for Canadian, plus the import and shipping (eBay GSP) would have been close to $1,000 Cdn dollars.

Almost felt like an old timer here for the first time, couple of years ago when the exchange rate was almost at par, hearing some of the older members be shocked at paying $200-$250 for these W&B's, watching some of these razors regularly go for even much higher now (saw a couple in the $800 USD range) shocks me in the same way, glad I'm not shopping for these beasts now.....

It's pretty simple, you put bidders who pull that crap on your blocked list. Mine is quite long now and I haven't suffered for having my safeguards lit up like a pinball machine.

Winning bid was actually $610 which makes it $25,000 Canadian Money.

There was a thread here not too long ago about bidding like this. Putting a max that is crazy high. This is a great example of why you only put in the max amount you are willing to pay.

I also just have bin auctions on nice stuff a lot of the time

Wow! that's crazy nice blade I think the blade would be worth $400, the scales are new the peening and washers plus the wedge are all new and done very poorly at that, overpriced by more than $3000 dollars that takes the biscuit.
