Me too Jim O'Reily 5 bucks & shaves just fine LOL.
If you look at the bidding you'll find that this particular seller draws noobies like flies. There were 12 bidders and 55 bids. Most of the bids were by noobies with less then 10 feedbacks and 38 bids were by two guys with 1 and zero feedbacks who know nothing about bidding and probably less about razors.
This happens all the time with this seller.

Total impulse buy!
$345? Sheesh! I though my $20 one was pricey!! 
Considering the fact that you can purchase a #16 for around $200, I'd say someone got taken--by their own lack of common sense. No Fatboy is worth that, when there are better razors to be had for less.
I might have to bookmark this page in case I ever have to justify some of my costlier purchases! I can't imagine what it would've gone for had it been a red dot.
Yes, it is pretty rare. That is a Fatboy that should sell for $300 in the right condition. This one that just ended has to be a combination of ignorance and alcohol fueled bidding.
I don't think its super rare, but definitely not something you'll see too often.

WOW Oldguy I didn't know this that guy has got their number and making a boat load of money off these guys. I've dropped 55 at most on a BigBoy but it's just my limit but this is ridiculous.
Man, I thought I lucked out when one of mine went for $200.
I swear though, I can't bring myself to write that gushy, comic book, poet wannabe hyped up nonsense that they always write into their listings.
I actually tried once. It's not hard, but it was making me physically sick and I was embarrassed at myself just reading that pap.
So I scratched it and started over as if I was addressing an adult with a normal I.Q.
My mistake, I suppose. Maybe it cost me $100 but at least I can sleep at night.

Wow is right. I was watching that auction hoping to pick up a replated fatbay at a reasonable price. Certainly wasn't gonna pay more than $60. This is ridiculous to say the least.

B&B membership has its percs
It's called shilling .. the seller has associates throw the bids in until some sucker gets hooked. The sucker here seems to be, well, decorum prevents me, but, really challenged in the razor sense ..
I can only imagine if "that seller" put a 195 Bottom Dial up for bidding
All I know is that I'm making a killing in Fatboy futures right now.
I don't know. They'd need an army of shills. They always get absurd prices for any razor they put up there, regardless of the condition. They called this one "pristine". It's nothing of the sort. But they use a Bible verse on the bottom of their listing, so I must be wrong. Surely, they wouldn't misrepresent the condition of their razors.
I've gotten some ridiculous prices myself, so it's not unimaginable they'd get that kind of money. Shills don't engage in bidding wars one increment at a time. If you look at the bid history, you'll see two or three noobs kept manually placing bids. That looks like a bidding war between idiots, or drunks, to me.
I'd be interested to know if the buyer wakes up and takes advantage of their "100% satisfaction guarantee" when he realizes what he did, and when he notices that big ole' scratch on top of the head.
I think that's what a lot of people said about Beanie Babies a few years back.
LOL.... i picked a F1 for $5 too earlier this week
