You mean to say I've bid too much?

I've got my fingers crossed. I bid $489.73 as my highest bid. I can't do a penny more than that.

That is a bit on the high side for what it is!
Quinton seems like a really nice bloke though & his razors appear to be well finished. I've never managed to win one of his, but have had a bit of a chat with him a couple of times & he seems to know what he's talking about.
Maybe he's managed to reach Altima55 status!

The mysterious ways of the bay. Or you have a razor that passes under the radar and you can get it for a fair price, even for a song sometimes, or it fetches absurd pricing.

It looks to be just a bidding war between two(or more)people who want it and aren't going to give in.It's a sellers dream and it's happened to me a couple times.

Looks like 70% of the price gain is from good photography?

Well as Lynne says, it's shiny! I guess that the seller has been around some selling nice blades helps with confidence of bidders. Still, it's a Duck... some folks will pay anything to get one it seems. I'm that way with certain blades - used to be Fillys until I decided I had enough of them. Now I'm looking for certain grinds and shapes and not stuck on a particular maker (for now anyway). Makes it fun because I seem to be able to get the blades I want for a song.
