We love to hate ebay, but mixed in among the junk and overpriced razors, there are deals, bad photo gems and some very rare stuff. I wanted a Dovo Master's, but they were out of stock everywhere and a bit expensive. I picked a NIB one up on ebay for about 40% off retail. What did you get?
I get this 7/8 W&B for a small 185$ and when I saw the prices of W&B at the moment, I'm pretty happy ! (Thanks Max for helping me buy this)

I've scored a number of deals on the bay, but this Frederick Reynolds I got for about $50 was probably the best; you have to get the ones that close when no one else is paying attention IME

The one that comes to mind first is my C.V. Heljestrand MK 33 in ivory scales.
NOS at the whopping price of about 22 bucks!
That was a really good day:)
I've bragged about these two buys before but ......
First is a Joseph Rodgers & Sons 10/8 @ $50.00 and second a 9/8 W&B Celebrated FBU with horn scales for $!5.00 ! Both of these were buy it now, where I happened to be at the right place at the right time. The W&B FBU at the bottom is an 8/8 that went for $80.00 IIRC in regular bidding. Nice shavers all. :chapeau

I'll play!!
Mine is a 15/16 George Wostenholm IXL, made expressly for America, that was listed as "An IXL razor." I believe it slide by un-noticed due to the listing. It has some beautiful etching on the blade and still in the original scales, Pins I re-did. I got it for $84.
This sucker shaves beautifully off my 12k Nani!!!

A near mint Helje MK33 for 150 USD shipped wasn't bad for me...
This is the straight I've been learning with. I paid $20 for it on eBay and spent another $20 for gssixgun to hone it up for me. I'm pretty happy with it. It's a Geneva Cutlery Henry's X & measures 11/16.

It's a German type stone with a tiny piece of the label left.

I never made it deed flat yet I just love showing it to friends who enjoy sharpening stuff.
I spotted this and just had to have it. My surname is Emerson so growing up and most of my life, my nickname has been Emo.
Well now Emo can shave with Emos razor.

Sorry though i dug up the one on the left.
So i only paid 8 bucks for these two rocks.
but it's crazy they both have the same weights.
one of left so small one on right i think is a german stone
has a nice little peice of red label left.
it's quite fine of a grit.
Should i not use similar rocks to the one of the left as rubbing stones.
I have use tiny peices of the stuff other times i found as a stone to cut rub off tools and
and yet leave it so polished.
Added pics of rocks i ben using to take rust of the sides of axes and yet the steel is so polished and shiny.
