Okay, who beat me on this Simpsons auction

[PaulL]

Meet me on the lawn at daybreak, badger brushes lathered.

The auction was at $8 with 30 seconds to go.
I bid $21.50. In the last two seconds it went to $22.
How disappointing, but congratulations to you sir. Obviously it needs a new knot, but a great handle.

[Rudy Vey]

Guess someone used a sniping program....

 

[Greybeard]

Someone was shave ready testing with their brush. 30mm loft....scrubby.

used but in very good condition

Love that!

 

[PaulL]

What could you possibly mean? The seller assures us it is previously used but in very good condition.

 

[ssultan]

Yikes...what would do that to the knot? Insects? Mold?

 

[PaulL]

close encounter with a lawn mower?

I placed a bid on this brush ,but I got off at 12-.I felt it was only good
for the handle.At 22- I don't think it is worth it .Better luck next time.
The price used /vintage brushes on the bay is getting out of site.

Agreed...I did not see this auction but by my calculations based on some recent email exchanges with Simpson/Vulfix...the cost of re-knotting this in best + shipping both ways is going to cost you the same as a new one...!!!

Unless somebody wanted to get a D01 knot in the Colonel handle

Might make a nice restore project, though. I might have paid $22 for it... maybe...


But I didn't. Gone WAY over my budget this month.

 

[antoine1]

Dunno, by the time you re knot it, that'll just about cover the cost of a new Colonel in Best

 

[JPDyson]

I was in up to $15, making it $20 shipped. I was sure I could stuff a good two-band TGN in there and sell it on the BST, and we'd all come out ahead. At $27 shipped on the handle, I'm not so sure...

BTW, unless you got a response that you were in the lead, and THEN it went to $22, this is a typical auto-bid. Somebody had bid higher than $22, and when you bid $21.50, it wasn't enough to outbid them. However, the price only goes up to the next interval higher than your bid but lower than his. He could have bid $23 or $50, the second the auction started, and it would have only gone up to $22 (all things equal).

An angry significant other.
