SO I was bidding on this boston sandwich cologne/perfume 12 sided bottle . It has its label. Its from Milford NH where I live. I really wanted the bottle. the last day, I bid 300 and got outbid to 325. I have the money to buy, but I had set a 300 limit for myself. (and with the 18% buyer premium that would have been 350ish)... The bottle is from Matt Finch's collection.
Here is the bottle:
