I thought I'd relate an interesting E-Bay experience -- I'm an occasional bidder, not a whole lot of experience, but this never happened before. I bid on a pair of slim adjustables that looked to be decent user grade razors, one maybe a little better. I usually don't try to game the bidding, just put in a bid for the price I thought would be a good value, and went off to do other things. Later I found out that I'd been outbid. The winning bid was $1 higher than my max.
A week or so has passed, and I'd completely forgotten about the auction. Just got an email from the 'Bay, saying that the buyer had failed to complete the transaction, and since I was in second place, I could have the lot for my previous maximum bid. Well, I thought it was a good price then, and it still seems like a good price to me, so I went for it. Can't wait to see my new slims.
I believe you, but without pictures, no one else does
- I don't know squat about brushes, so I may have over paid for them. One says 'Rubberset' on the bottom and must be horse hair or something since it's very dark. The other brush says 'Cavalier' and appears to be Badger.
