    My lovely wife bought me a vintage advertisement for the "Gillette Fifty".
    If never heard of it, looks like a little treasure chest that came with 10, 5 packs of blue blades.
    The other day I saw the box on ebay, $14.99 or best offer... so I offered 12 bucks because why not save a couple?
    My offer was immediately rejected with the message "I only consider offers over the starting bid".
    Annoyed, but still wanting it I offered $20 which was immediately rejected as well with no message this time.
    I messaged the seller and said what are you looking for, does $25 get it done?
    Hours later with no response I bid $15.99 just to wipe out his best offer (the option goes away once a bid has been placed).
    Figuring I'd watch it and jump in at the end of it didn't go crazy I waited...and won it for his starting bid of $14.99. Karma :)
    I've got 10 packs of NOS blue blades waiting for it![​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Man, that's a great find! A little treasure chest indeed. Too bad Gillette doesn't still make something like that.

    Just a fantastic score! Not often seen. Very rarely seen!
