Awesome fat boy score

[Advil]

I was in a buying mood so I browsed the 'bay for a while, after not finding anything I remembered that I've been wanting to try the Fat Boy since my slims weren't quite right for me. I found one listing that seemed decent for the price, around 50 bucks. So I went though and bought it now. After 3 days it arrives and to my surprise (it wasn't mentioned in the listing) it was MINT and came in the box! The box isn't in 100% great condition but it opens and closes just fine and doesn't look very worn. But the razor itself is absolutely beautiful. Silos work perfect, no plating loss or brassing. It looks like it could have been 100% unused and new!

Next to my slim and black handle slim

Congratulations. That is just an awesome score. Good feeling aint it when it comes in better than you might have expected.
Enjoy that puppy

Nice, nice, nice.

I recently aquired a Fatboy with some minor plating issues on the silo doors and a crack in the clear plastic box at an antique place for $5. Yours is prettier, but mine fit my beer budget desire to get a champagne razor.

It is always great when an eBay find is better than expected!

Congratulations, Advil. It's always a bit of a crap shoot on the Bay, and you won!!!

Fantastic. You easily could have spent more for one in not so great shape.

Congrats.

Way cool! I'm starting to scrounge antique shops for a fat boy, but I'm being picky. I want either a 58 or 59...

I'm pretty much planning a face to face purchase, because I'm afraid to have any more packages show up in the mail...

Unless you have better antique shops near by than I do, this could be quite a challenge!

Awesome razor. For fifty buck you did well.

I would take issue with it being mint. Call me a curmudgeon but mint, I think, implies essentially New Old Stock or unused. The case sounds as if it was used and I am not certain that is the original razor blades that came with the Fatboys. Weren't they packed with Super Stainless?

I'm not in a great roaring hurry for this to happen, and if it doesn't, I'll wait until the heat's off and buy something on the B/S/T!

Fat Boy prices seem to have dropped on the B/S/T of late. And no, I'm not trying to sell one right now. Just an observation. Good luck with your search!
