Yea, you're right, what was you thinking!!!

It was a bargain. Then it was still a decent price. Then it was "damnit, one more bid." And then someone else saw sense before I did.I didn't want to be rude - but I was wondering the same thing.

@Jester - drunken t'interweb shopping isn't always a bad idea. The only reason I own a Cobra Classic is that one evening - four sheets to the wind - about a decade ago, Executive Shaving had a very small batch of them for sale - I happened to look at the right time - and got one - the most I have spent on a razor ever. On the open market it is worth two to three times what I paid - not that I plan to sell it. So - in my experience - not an entirely bad strategy - but for me - yes, mostly. How many Rapira blades did I need? - cheers - I.

Years ago I worked in a small garage , just serving in the shop etc. Part of the same garage sold second hand cars , the salesmen always used to say the boss liked a drink in the pub with his car trader friends, but would sometimes get drunk and buy some terrible stock that would take them forever to sell, including one time half a dozen Mini Vans , the most pointless car/van invented.

Now there's a thread - what did we buy when we went on the lash - just had a scary thought - does SWMBO look into the forum!

It is amazing what you can buy on Ebay , the thing that makes me smile , is somewhere someone sat down and thought it would be a good idea to setup a factory making 4 Foot luminous skulls , Santa costumes for toilets.
