Thread: A call from the antique shop

Got a call from a local antiques store today, said they had just got a bunch of razors in. Being I only work till noon on Wednesday, I stopped in on the way home.

He had 14 razors on the glass case, ready for my arrival.
I got excited when I seen the big coffin boxes, and the possible contents therein. He said he'd take an offer, the prices were just an average he'd looked up on the bay.

So I took the lot, I mean....STOLE.!! for $150.00
