100 Feathers for $23.58,Too Good to Be True?

It's not that far out of line. I paid a bit more for my last order of feathers, but a seller with reasonably thin margins and a good deal from a supplier can probably do what you see on that listing.

Well I bought 150 blades, I'll report when I get em'.
I bought 100 blades as well, despite the current supply I have. The price is below the market average.
I grabbed 50 myself. That's a darn good price.
Is The packaging differant, used to be yellow.
The black packaging in intended for Asian markets while the yellow packaging for Western markets.
Black packaging are 5 packs, yellow are 10 packs. Per feather's own marketing inside their stainless steel DE
You need to factor shipping too. 4.50 for the first pack and 3.50 for each additional.
Are you stating that the packaging is different or questioning whether it is different? So that there is not a run of the sky-is-falling would-be feather blade buyers, to your question, NO it is not different.
There have been two packages in the market for some time. There is the familiar yellow package and the less familiar black packaging. Quite often you find the yellow in 10-blade dispensers and the black in 5-blade dispensers. While some of the alleged connoisseurs of feather blades claim they can recognize a difference in the blades sharpness, the appropriate response is piffle.
READ MY POST, I simply asked if the packaging was differant.
i am not as you call it familiar with the black package.
thx to those above who explained the differance.
Let's apply that response to the "horizontal" and the "vertical" Derby Extra as well.
It's not you, there's just a lot of Chicken Little's around who like to panic and spread rumours of products being changed or discontinues based on pretty slim evidence. All it takes is on Bath + Body Works to forget to restock a shelf of Bigelow and we have a 20-page thread going!
Guenron was just trying to head that off.

We're running out of Bigelow!!
I better try to hunt some down fast!! 
Not just that but it states "25 to 30 days to US". That is WAY out of line....

I'm pretty sure the time frame listed is a CYA thing and even with shipping costs Included it's like a $9 per hundred blade savings vs. who I normally purchase from.
I checked his feeedback, which is 100%. Seems he sells a lot of Hello Kitty hair clips and bands. Maybe he will throw a few in with your blades to make up for the 25-30 day wait!

I bought 50 to see how it goes.
The shipping rates really ramp up on multiple quantities.
