    Oh man, that is something. I would offer him a 20 for it, and shorten it, but I don't think he would accept my offer.

    I see it so often where people "see auctions that have gone for xx amount", where either they're blatantly making it up or they don't know how to compare their razor to the ones that sold for that much. Also posting claims without sources cited is irritating.

    And yeah, $200 is a "fraction of the price" of $500, but still a relatively large one at 0.4. I might offer ten bucks.

    You guys are missing the point. It's all about the box - there's four (4!!) whole pictures of the box. It is an awesome box!! Never before have I seen such a box. Man, I wish I had that box.

    Wow... The only thing that could be worse is if he actually gets that much for it!

    That's a rare DD Barbers Notch. Notched by a clumsy barber.

    Dang it, had I seen it before I made the car payment this month, I could have bid on it.

    I don't think that's even a wonder edge. Certainly can't tell much from the pics except that it's broke .

    But it's has "Free Shipping" guys! Think I'll set my snipe rather high as this pristine duck looks too good to let go.
