Here's a completely random posting...

Twelve years or so ago, I used to wear a cologne from Abercrombie & Fitch called "Woods." I loved the cologne, and I used to joke it was the only thing the store sold that fit me. Much to my disappointment, it was discontinued about 5 or 6 years ago. I really liked that cologne, and it was pretty much all I wore!
Fast forward to this afternoon, where I'm searching on E-Bay for some tester sizes of new colognes. If you're not familiar with testers, they're just the bottles the stores use to show off the fragrance. Testers come without a box, are usually twice the size of the regular bottles, and about half the price. I'm thrifty (cheap).
On a lark, I searched for "Abercrombie Woods" and found about 20 listings. This formerly $70/bottle cologne is now going for upwards of $300 or more per bottle, with some places listing it at $399.

I spent way too much time doing some Google searching, but found a few places that do "custom reproductions" of discontinued colognes. I thought it was fascinating that companies could carve a niche out of something like this. The pricing was very reasonable, and they offer a 100% guarantee. So, I placed an order! We'll see what it really smells like - I have about 1/8 of a bottle of Woods left in my desk at work.

Like I said... Completely random. And yes, I have much better things to do with my time. :-)
