You must be talking about whippeddog.com? The blind deals are pretty much what they say they are, not pretty by any stretch for the most part, but cleaned and sharpened to shave ready status. I got one from him and it's a good shaver though a little narrow... Not even sure if it's a 4/8, it's an old Spike raozor (I think from the 50's?).
Your best bet with Whippeddog is to send Larry an email, he's a super guy and very helpful! I think he's on semi holidays right now, but he usually answers pretty quickly. I just bought one of his DE's that he started carrying and I love it! Seems to be really good quality for the price. I will definitely buy from him again :)
Cheers,
Stew
Edit: Oops, missed page 2 of the thread! Lol, most of what I have said was already mentioned. I was also going to suggest the classifieds on this site, I've bought two straights through the classifieds and they were both excellent deals IMHO.
