I would get a soap on a rope, just to be safe, less chance of dropping it.

Good idea!! Hey, from that other thread, you don't happen to have any Unicorn Soap on-a-rope do you?

Don't worry about it, it probably had cell rot, a pitted edge, cracks you couldn't see and a frown.

or it may have been NOS and totally pristine-Har har.

But, turns out my destiny was a different path! The DD was really nice, I almost expected it to be de-listed at the last moment!

Oh well, one day we'll all find the DD Lifetime Grim Reaper, in NOS condition, shipped for free, shave ready, for under $100!!

But in my case, my credit card would probably be refused!!

Cheers!

KNow this.....When it comes up I will snipe it with a bid of 500. :<0)

I always bid in the last seconds. I have found if I want it that's what I have to do. What cracks me up is 2 guys in a 50 cent bid war for 5 days over something I know is going to sell for double in the last minute. All they are doing is raising the price. I haven't bought anything for awhile but if I want something I can usually get it. Why? Because I bid tooooo high for wants.

Just went and checked the mail?

I just got selected for JURY DUTY!!!!!!

Argggggghhh!!!!

Been there, done that. Sat on six different juries in my time. If your'e living in the US once you turn 65 they don't call you anymore. At least thats what I've been told and haven't been cal;led since I turned 65 a long time ago,

Oh, and by the way, if there is something that I really want I put in a ridiculous max bid and sit back and watch the flurry of screen jitters as it runs thru all the last second bidders with an ending green banner of victory.

Thanks! I've been thinking that's the way to go, but I'll do that in the last minute...

Speaking of which, there's a nice, pristine DD Grim Reaper on E-Bay right now for around $400...couldn't believe it...still has several days left to go. Then I re-read the description and the scales have been replaced and the "e" in lifetime is not there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but once the scales have been replaced, doesn't it lose it value?

And 10Pups, be warned, at the next possible chance, I'm going to use that smiley...awesome!!
