Thanked: 67Dunno, seems a lot. Maybe the nice embossed box is 'collectable'? (Or it's just another example of 'beer + ebay = '? )
If I understand ebay, though, there was one other bidder prepared to pay $2 less than the winner paid. 33 bids mean there was quite a bit of interest.

Looks pretty clean, nice box. Would be a great display piece.
One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

I have one of these; mine is in good condition, but this one in question , is in great condition. The label appears to be original & bright. Since most of these labels are glued inside(almost impossible to get out without destroying) & the case is so shiny, I tend to think it is close to N.O.S. condition. The one thing the seller said that is correct, is that they are rare to find in this great of condition. I would have put $100.00 on it, but not much more.

For that condition in a product that is at least 50 years old you pay a premium...

There is nothing to explain. I fact it's quite the opposite - this explains why we don't do valuations; you can't. Stuff is worth what someone will pay, and that's all there is to it.

Thanked: 4827If I had a dollar for every time I was on the bay and said "really? WTF" I would have enough for more stuff. There is no telling where stuff is going to go. Somedays it's give aways the next everything on your watch list is crazy high. I watched a chipped and worn Franz Swaty go for $200 and four others in better shape for less than half. I'm with you though sometimes you just ?????
