Thread: E-Bay Took My Mojo

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.

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!!

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

I just did to see if it still works... Dang it does. New Goldedge on it's way and well under my usual big guns ammo. Pffff even comes with a strop this time. Sorry if you were looking at that 1 anybody, but it was 7/8 and I didn't have 1 of those.

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

Not really, in my opinion, maybe in someone else's. Each razor is different and what it's worth is up to who ever wants it.
I think this one is from one of our friends in here. And this is the way it works for me. I can't afford that much now so it's there tempting me.
It looks like a great restore job :<0)

Congrats on the DD....would love to see a pic of the blade and strop....

Ahhh, snipers...the only real way to beat 'em is to join 'em. Those programs don't submit their bids until typically 5-10 seconds before bidding ends. Give the live bid no time to respond. Been burned more times than I can count by them.

Thanks. You will see it...it needs new scales :<0). hmmmm what color ??? Turns out it's only 6/8 but I didn't have a 6/8 square point either.

Well since you're asking, I'd love so see some faux ivory scales on it, would probably be a nice contrast to the inlays. Love to see a pic, then I'll send you my address so you can forward it to me for testing. '-)
