Is $3 for 100 Astra Sp blades a good deal?

[mattymatt]

My wife and I attend a silent auction every week. The auction consists of pallets loaded with all types of things. Last week I purchased a pallet for $24 that had eight 100 count cartons of Astra Sps blades on it. That comes out to $3 for one hundred Astra blades! Can't beat that deal. What is the point of this thread? Just bragging I guess.

Great buy. Congratulations!

Yeah but you have to add in gas, dinner for two, drinks plus........................................... never mind you got a great deal

The funny thing is just two weeks before this auction I purchased 100 Astras off of Ebay for $12. Now Ihave 900 Astra Sps.

Oh no. Someone saw you coming and took advantage of you.

If you need help carrying them to the land fill just give me a shout

 

[Hunter]

Awesome!

 

[talibeard]

Dunno; if you like them it is a great deal I guess. I would still pass though...

I'll give you $3.50 for a 100 you can make a nice little profit!

I said "whhhhaaat?" out loud after I read the thread title. If I got them that cheap I'd be tempted to sell them and make some $

$2.50 per 100 would be a great deal, but $3.00 per 100, I think they saw you coming.

 

[Niles]

Lucky.

I'll give you $3.50 for a 100 you can make a nice little profit!

I'll see that and raise to $6.

If you like Astra blades it was good. Do they have less than two uses per blade?

 

[rosskostron]

that's quite a deal ! now you are set on blades for a while

 

[gunterbr]

Amazing!!! I though I got a deal with $13 for 100 off ebay shipped to Canada. I've gotta start attending some silent auctions

 

[Jussi]

That's a bit below wholesale prices. Nice catch.

 

[larzone]

I pay $11 shipped to Sweden and think that's a great deal. For me, Astra Sp's shave really great.
You did good!

So with that many blades, at that price, you can use a fresh blade every day with impunity! (It's not like they can't be shoved into a soup can and recycled.) Great deal- you should do some trading for variety.

 

[Jussi]

Trading...or maybe get a similar amount of every favourite blade.

Thanks for another thread on here I just ordered 100 Astra's for less than $9 shipped. If anyone is interested in Astras at $.09/blade go to Amazon. I don't know how long this particular deal lasts.
