Jim,I did not actually bid against you,I use a bid snipping service.I enter the amount I want to pay on an item as soon as they are listed,then the bidding service bids for me at the last 6 seconds of the auction,I never know whos bidding,or what it went for until its over and they email me I usually buy 10-20 razors a week so can't really keep track.I have an lot of W&B razors though so if you want this one I will let you have it for what I paid for it.I always do that for the SRP guys so email me with the item number and i'll sell it to you when it gets here.The only extra it will cost you is the 4.50 for the postage from the vendor to me.By the way if you like the Wade and Butcher Celebrated For Barbers Use(the huge meat choppers) I have alot of them,and I also have three of them that are like new,and a couple that Ross Reground and are as good as new,and look like it.Also have a bunch of W&B Heavy wedges in excellent cond Then a mixture of assorted W&B with custom scales All of these razors are shave ready.Let me know and I'll send you pictures of anything you might be interested in Best Regards Gary
