I hear you there. I like to set way too many snipes on a Friday and then spend the weekend realizing how much it would suck to win all of them. Then I am kind of relieved to not win any of them. My strategy now is to set the snipes much lower than I would actually pay, that way if I win them all I feel like I got an amazing deal.

I got lazy the other day and waited on a BIN because I wanted to save a few dollars by just sniping it. Well someone else snatched it and today I saw Glen post a pic of it, he got the deal there and I kicked myself very hard.

At least you are stopping at razors. I have bought a scroll saw, invested in some exotic woods, bribed a professional hobby furniture restorer and spent probably $1000 om tools, sandpaper, and materials for restoring these things. My next purchase is going to be a band saw. The only problem I have is that if I hit the lotto, I would stay in med school and graduate to restoring razors. As dumb as it sounds, I would rather restore these than watch a movie in the theatre. I feel its a productive way to spend time and believe it or not, I want to do surgery, and I have noticed that when I look at things now, I can see finer details than I could before I got into this.
So keep up the addiction. I have about 25 razors to restore and sell then I am going to buy more. I just wish these guys would stay off ebay so I could win more!

I've only been shaving with a straight for a little more than a week. I thought I would only want/need one razor, and i've already purchased another, and I'm constantly on the look out for others. Either the SRP is the best or worst thing that has happened to me. My girlfriend thinks the latter...I'll prove her wrong!
