The prices are in UKBP ££

much better, you actually had done a good job by not putting it in the larger razor catagory on ebay, but you've posted ithere, already it's going high. good for you

anybody know what is with the ebay bidding though? I bid 40, someobody else has beat me at the same price, how does that work? I thought if you had a max in there it bumped you just past the next highest bid (i.e. whoever beat me would be 41). Ebay has made some crazy changes lately not all of which I understand or like.

Red, I'm not sure if this is what happened, but if there's a tie it goes to the 1st bidder. IIRC it's always been like that.

I never remembered it that way, but I could have just remembered wrong. or never had that happen before. I'm still on it though.

my birthday is the 21st, I had purchased on ebay on Jan 6 a 15/16 w&b that needed restoration, was going to have custom handles made etc. as my present. but it never showed up (now WAITING to get the frickin' money back) and figure this one doesn't need anything.....

Six days left... seems like an eternity.

Yes. ties go to the first bid in. What are you doing bidding even numbers? If you're going to bid $40 then bid $40.07 . You're probably going to avoid ties that way.

I recently won an auction with a bid of $58.61. I beat a bid of $57.95 (difference of $0.66). Started a thread on it and it seems it works this way.

current price was $41.00
Other guy put in his bid of $57.95 and current price went to $42.00
I put in my bid of $58.61.
My bid was more than one increment over the current price of $42 so it passed that test
AND my bid was larger than his so I won.
