Nice stash he's got, unfortunately all the snipers now know about it.

He uses the one thing I hate about Ebay......Hidden Reserve

It's such a crock

Wow, good find. I wonder why he didn't list them in the "Collectibles" category -- listing them under "Health & Beauty" certainly isn't incorrect, but it misses lots of people (like me) who just search Collectibles. Also, no offense to the seller, but what possible advantage is it to list all of them at the same time? Kind of guarantees that you are not going to get much of a premium for your wares. Anyway, thanks for the head's up.

Spot on Jeff...not the best selling strategy on either front. It is a little troublesome that seller has limited activity in last year and no razors that I can see....Thanks again for the heads up (original poster)!

Also, it looks like the reserve price for the DT#13 is $75. Still I agree with others here -- the whole setup makes me wonder what's going on.

That's exactly why I will stay away from this auction (interesting to watch and see what happens...especially AFTER someone wins the bid). Personally though, my gut feeling doesn't get a warm and cozy feel about this.

Ugh....so tempting.

It may be worth the risk if the price stays low.

Hell, I may take a rip at one just for s***s & giggles...I will post findings if I am successful. I need another razor like a hole in my noggin, but if the price is right... whats the worst thing that can happen??

I just did a web search on the Paypal buyer protection program. Caveat Emptor!
