    Yeah that's the good - and bad - thing about eBay: it's highly unpredictable and really often comes down to if the "right" people happened to log in and see what you're selling.
    Even better if there are two crazies collectors that end up in an epeen battle over the item.

    The first time I bid on an unboxed double ring, two snipes hit at the end for over $400.00. It was no nicer than the one I later got for 1/4 that.

    ...or more. When you get five or six that's when the magic happens.

    As a seller, one just has to love the stubborn, greedy, gotta have it, bidder.

    Such auctions have nothing to do with shaving or the item's value, and everything to do with dominance and winning. It is usually one or more control freaks trying to use a weird way to thump their chests and defeat perceived "rivals". I agree completely that is nuts, as in screw loose crazy.

    Or not. I was the only bidder.:signs002:
    I wish all my eBay purchases would go that smoothly.

    I don't think there are any bids on this one, but the asking price is insanely high (IMHO). Screen Shot 2015-09-18 at 6.38.22 PM.png

    I suppose it wasn't possible to build in the shipping price of the bottle. So, it's $999 for the bottle and $12 for the prostate exam.

    Heck, I didn't think that stuff was worth that much. I shouldn't have used all of it.

    I bought an NOS bottle of this at an old drug store a few months ago for $9.00. Unfortunately it didn't have the $990.00 box.

    Did you use it? Apparently, you can sell it for a bit of a profit.

    These iPhone keyboards are bit small, and I do have some fingers that some may call fat for their length. :)

    Are you sure you bought this shampoo version and not the quinine hair tonic?
    If they have more of this exakt shampoo version I'll pay you $75 for every bottle you can get hold of.
