LOL - when I bid, I may place a bid at the beginning, just to probe, but after that, I usually bid once and only once, because the only bid the counts, is the winning one. In the case of your W&B razor, I was prepared to go, then found a 9/8 W&B FBU with 3 minutes left, on eBay from basically an hour away from me, for $210.00 plus $3.50 for shipping, so that took me out of the game.

Then, just to switch things up, managed to grab this nice little 11/16 Joseph Elliot, hoping the scales are tortoise?
