At this point in the game, price is everything. You've got a little over a day on the auction, 4 bidders, and it's sitting there at about $26.00 or so. Of course you'd like to have it at this price, but you know it's going to go for more than that. You must ask yourself, "what am I willing to pay for this?"
I use a software program called "Bidnapper" when placing my bids. There are others out there you can use; I like this one. I loose most of my bids, because I determine beforehand the absolute top dollar I will pay, and I just let Bidnapper place the bid the last few seconds of the auction. I will not allow myself to bid emotionally. You will spend way too much money when bidding this way.
In regard to this particular razor I would guess it's gonna go off somewhere between $50.00 and $100.00, maybe more - who knows. I like this razor, plus Greaves has an excellent reputation. I would probably put in a top bid of $80.00. That is me, though - and that is an emotional bid for me because I have been wanting to pick up a Greaves. Some of us are suckers for certain brands. I have a passion for Fredrick Reynolds' razors, too. This is why I use Bidnapper because I will get crazy when bidding......
Good luck,
