    Default eBay acquisitions

    Here's a couple of things I just got in the mail from eBay
    The Wilkinson Sword was a deal! It has never been used. The strop is still wrapped in the paper they come in. The blades are still in the grease. It also comes with the bag! I got it for around $100
    The Everite Razor I got for $25, not a bad deal.

    I was watching the seven day also. It was at a very good price. I need to move some of my razors before I get any more. Stuff management is my current life challenge. I'm glad it went where it is appreciated.

    Thanks!
    Yeah, they are hard to find with the bag. I couldn't believe the strop was still wrapped in the original paper. There are a few hairline scratches on top of the box & I'm trying to decide whether to sand & polish them out. I paid $102.50 for it to be exact which I think was good considering it hadn't been used yet! I wasn't home either but I sniped it!

    i don't know what people do with the bags. I guess they trash 'em. I see the seven day sets but never a bag! I have one more set but no bag. I'll probably use that set but this one I just got, I'm going to leave it that way.

    That was kind of a pivotal thought for me, the having to use it and not just keep it, as well as the volumes of stuff I keep accumulating. They periodically come up, complete and in what appears to be good shape. I think I would be inclined to leave the scratches, beauty marks from time. Cool that it has 100% of the original packing.

    Nice snag.

    I've got 34 razors headed my way from England. I'm in a HOLD mode for a bit till I paw through all that stuff and separate the keepers from the wind chime material.

    Traded 6 pocket knives and tossed in an extra for all the mess.

    Ok, Thanks! I do have another one I could switch boxes on but it has a very small ding on it.
