    We both won ours. :D Mine was a Sommerset era Simpson's Wee Scot and his was a Gillette double ring. :D

    I got out sniped on this lovely so-called Schick "L5" Injector. This is the famous "Paul Revere" model, made by International Silver, and only available through a mail in program during the Bicentennial.

    Had $28 on this lovely example of an Everready 1000. It ended up going for $76.51. Crazy.

    Apparently I misjudged the value of this guy.

    Vintage Shaving Brushes have really gone up in price over the last few years. That is a nice specimen though!

    Ironic, as knots for re-knotting brushes have only been commonly available in the last few years. I wonder if the two might be related? :signs002:

    I expect high prices on premium brushes, but Everready? I expected that one to max out at maybe $45-50.

    They are indeed! I been doing this around 4 years and the more brushes are restored and shown, the more the prices have gone up. Sellers have picked up on this as well in the last year especially.

    Thankfully eBay keeps track of those painful reminders for us.

    Such creative excuses! I wasn't asking for everything you guys have ever lost, just a "highlight of the week' kind of thing.

    ...actually, considering the context, "lowlight of the week" would be more accurate.

    I got outbid one time on a poorly listed Double Ring. I made up for it this month by finally getting one

    Creative excuses is my thing!
    I am too busy researching to come up with antidotes of my losses! :happy102:

    Actually I did not lose a bid this week. I got what I wanted. More to come later.

    Antidotes, or anecdotes? Either works, but the meaning changes depending on which one you meant. :D

    I've pretty much quit bidding, actually. Last thing was a shabby red tip I got beat out on, before my dad hooked me up with one. I really don't even browse anymore.

    I was super upset about my last loss. I was literally counting down the seconds and got the outbid notice.

    We need a picture and possibly a price so we can mourn with you.
