I've been avoiding eBay for the past several months. Auctions and unemployment didn't go well together, but since I'm again gainfully employed I thought I'd take a gander at some hones for sale. Hmmmmm...there's a Frictionite with 11 hours to go maybe I should take a look at that one, or maybe not, given that the bidding is up to $256 for a freakin' barber hone that ain't even that rare. I know this because I have acquired at least half a dozen of them without even trying.
