Whoa doggie! I wanted it but not THAT bad!!!

So it wasn't silver, it was gold and the case was gunmetal. But this ABC Pocket Edition Empire set just sold for a whopping $275!! It was mislabeled as a Floral pattern. This seller must figure he or she just won the lottery. I was over $100 off the lead. Well, at least that hurts less than being in second place by $1.

The search for the Holy Grail continues...

It was not me, but I do know who it was and suspect he will be along shortly to claim his accolades.

Intriguing!

I have congratulated the winner! But I will let this mystery man identify himself! Always great to see a B&B'er win these collectables!!

Congrats to the happy buyer! You know who you are!!

Yup. Twas me. I figured it would go pretty high. Luckily I came into some unexpected cash two days ago. I just hope the fellow I beat out was not a B&B'er. Sorry.

Along with the man who got the Bottom dial a couple of days ago, There seems to be a lot of "unexpected cash" floating around out there!

Add me to the list - With a larger than expected tax return, I bought a PILS Razor

Mark, In my case you have to be over 70 to get my unexpected cash. I'm sure you don't want to wait that long.

Exactly! And since tomorrow is never a guarantee, I pursue RAD (and shave) for today

Right Tom. You a bit more then me. I never saw the 195 auction, or maybe I did but thought it was the one for sale for many months now. I might have given it a shot. Congrats. I think that was a good price.
