Thanks RM. I'll keep a watch on them for when they're listing again. Meanwhile there's a few US sellers with good prices, just the postage kills the deal.There are packs reasonably cheap via ntguys, ends up about AUD$30/100 delivered. That's acceptable to me in small purchases.
If you got a 1,000 blade buy, it would be about $267 delivered, or 27c/blade. So not a massive saving.
The ntguys listings are about $5 postage per 100, and it's about $4 per 100 after that. As I said, reasonable. The main thing you need to compare is the landed price of which I think it is the best available currently.Thanks RM. I'll keep a watch on them for when they're listing again.

That doesn't mean that someone puts them aside at the factory and then takes them away 'to be disposed' and they end up on eBay.I'm sure I read on a different forum that there are no such thing as "seconds" from the Gillette factory. they don't allow them out the door.
Also, surely there isn't enough profit to be made in counterfeit blades? A few cents a blade is hardly worth it. But then, I wouldn't know.
@Monsta_AU can you give us a list of what comes out of PPI?
