    Default A Complete Crook

    I was looking at E-bay for these in reference to another thread when I came across this item

    Shick injector blades

    The crooked part is that while he is claiming NOS and charging $9 plus $5 shipping I can still buy these on Meijers shelves right down the street for about $2.50.

    ya and shipping to me is $18.50. that seems weird. maybe he is targeting places that don't retail them, but no where around me sells them and i'm not going for that.

    Claiming NOS? Why does it say this in the auction: The Items I sell are Previously owned, I do NOT guarantee they come from smoke free or pet free homes!!

    Because thats his auction boilerplate for everything he sells?

    I don't know all I know is that I can pop down to the local Meijers and pick up a pack right now of a quarter what he's charging. That kind of margin is pretty crooked for no work.

    Yep! He or she must have a narrow customer base

    Reminds me of the $5 hot dogs at football games
