I luckily didn't go overboard yesterday, but I was prepared to be that overpaying sucker. Luckily, the last few minutes were quiet. I got my Wusthof and did a dance of joy. I didn't need my high high max bid.
So much so that I'm thinking of using the balance of the paypal warchest to order another razor...lol.
Ha yeah I saw that one, went :eek: at the price, and made myself hit 'back' so I wouldn't be tempted.
I actually want one that's a bit used, bit beat up with some character, so I can clean it up and not feel like I'm desecrating a 160 year old pristine condition heirloom.
I want one with blood on it! lol hmm... where's the smiley for 'maniacal grin' ?
Thanks! I was VERY happy with that score. It's my second NOS razor. The first was a Gong Cutlery 6/8" and it's been great.
RAD is a sad sad thing. Although...I'm selling off most of my DE stuff so really, it's working out well. As long as there are roughly equal numbers of packages going out that are coming in, things are good. :D
Ok dodged some bullets, and managed to pick up a total of three good looking blades from tommyrazor.
I confess I snipe, but I just don't see another way to do it most of the time, I've never had a long bid go through, not that I'm the most experienced at eBay. I've purchased my fair share though.
Still though, all three are less than that one JR you got :roflmao
Ok I'll stop poking fun before the senior member plays a game called 'kill the newbie';)
No-one likes a smart-ass! :p
Seriously though, that's great - tommyrazor's blades are generally very nice. :tu
And, if you ever want to sell any of them, there's a patsy in Australia who you could hit up for triple their worth! :gth

"Ever gone overboard?," he asks. Is the Pope Catholic?
Yeah, but mine are a little cheaper. :rolleyes: I just can't stop buying them, though. My RAD is definitely overboard.
I do love those tommyrazor blades, too. I managed to score a W&B "Diamond Edge" 7/8 from him not too long ago.
Also guilty!
I set a high price for the recent pair of Buffalo horn TIs. Went to bed thinking "What have I done? I'm looking for a good starter razor, not a cream de la cream UBER razor!" (not the right place to start I KNOW but they looked SO NICE!)
I was pretty relieved when I got up the next day to find I'd lost that auction! (apologies to whoever wound up snagging it if I cost you some $). They still seemed like a good deal - just not a GREAT deal.
Recovered my sanity and bought one of Vintage's 5/8 honed for a much more reasonable price and an IRS strop.
Now, back to Lynn's DVD to see how to use this beastie..... Wish me luck!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who goes a little eBay nuts from time to time...

I think I've taken the next step. There's going overboard and PLANNING to go overboard.
I've been building my Paypal warchest for the next one. I'm getting ready for war...hehe.
