    It's just a vintage barberiana type thing and there are many people who collect them and pay whatever for it. No different than people who collect old bottles.

    Note that there were 17 bids on the thing. Collecting is a powerful instinct for some people. One man's trash is another man's treasure for sure.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Damn! And I just dumped a bagful of unique stuff in pristine condition to the trash bin.

    In a way, I understand that huge bid, since that is actually quite rare thing to have. Kinda analoguos to some asking "you spent HOW much on a razor?" I just wish I would have 100 of those stashed somewhere...
