    Default Escher anyone ?

    This one here is going through the roof and with 3 days to go. Glad I've already got mine. Item # 120511116414 if the link doesn't work. The seller must feel like he died and went to heaven.

    Saw it when it was posted and put it on my watch list. Needless to say, no point in watching in now for me other than for entertainment.

    That thing went sky high faster than any razor. I'm still nursing my wounds from losing my last auction too

    I think I will keep the one I got, but maybe then again... a sale might be in order.

    This is entertaining! I thought I saved a few bucks when I got an Escher thrown into a razor purchase at a flea market. Every time I see these things sell on eBay I recount my savings. If I didn't find these hones at flea markets and antique shops for a buck I wouldn't have any.

    You know, when I was back home for Christmas, my brother took me to some junktique stores he knew that had razors (most were closed for the holidays, but I got a nice W&B For Barber's Use). He was telling me that one had some kind of razor hone in a box with papers, and I showed him a picture of my Escher and he said "Yep, that's what the box looked like, but the stone was a different color."

    It was selling for $20.

    Of course, the shop was foreclosed on and the bank sold off all the stock.

    Such is my luck...

    One man's trash is another man's treasure. Remember the forum member last year that got one on ebay with a buy it now of $38.00 ? A nice one too with all the bells and whistles.
