    Default Can you resist? "Benito Mussilini's" Straight Razor, Bidding Starts at $500

    Okay, so even assuming you're a big fan of il Duce...

    A zero feedback seller, blurry picture, one-sentence description and absolutely no documentation/verification. (You'd think he'd have least spelled Mussolini's name right.)

    Benito Mussilini straight razor - eBay (item 320306631022 end time Oct-08-08 09:05:45 PDT)

    I can hardly hold myself back!!

    The sad thing is some poor sap will end up with this piece of "history".....and pay a hell of a lot more than $500 for it, too.

    I couldn't resist writing to ask why he thinks it was "made for Mussolini". Here's his response:

    "His first name is engraved on the beginning of the blade, not the cutting edge, and his picture, with his last name under it is engraved on the ivory handle. It was acquired at an Itlaian barber supply shop called Alcamisi. At one time the owners were Mussilini supporters."

    I've got a toilet seat that was used by Stalin himself. How do I know it was his? I bought it from a Russian guy who was really old. Maybe I should throw that up on Ebay. What should I start the bidding at? $750?

    No one bought it, I wonder why?

    Fear not, it's been relisted (this time with at least a bit of description).

    You have another chance. Act FAST!!
