Thread: double duck

I just got this lot of 3 double ducks, http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...2783&rd=1&rd=1 . Im new to this ebay crazyness, so wondering what do you think good deal ?

I've seen duble ducks go for crazy prices, so if the two top ones are in good condition, I'd say you did well.

i was hoping i could hone out the chip on the goldedge, ive seen them go for like 60$

The bottom one (goldedge) has one heck of a chip, and may have a crack above it as well. If you succeed in honing it out you'll have a very tired arm and a 4/8 goldwedge. The middle razor seems to have lots of hone wear and a frown, though it's hard to tell whether from bad honing or a bent spine. The top razor has an overhoned toe and lots of hone wear in general.

GE have been sold for over 120 too in good condition...

However, these aren't in such a good condition. Sure, hone out the chip - if you're licky you'll be able to use it... maybe. The other two - as Michael said - have their own issues but they can still turn out to be good (or better) shavers.

I'd say you paid a fair price for the lot, more or less (not a steal or anything)

Good luck

I think that Goldedge is a write off. Salvage the scales and pitch the blade. The Bresduck is an older blade which is nice and both it and the Pearlduck Special should make nice shavers once their cleaned up. All in all I'd say you didn't make out that well, but didn't get burned too badly either.

Thanks for all your input, I should be receiving them in a couple of weeks and i guess i'll have a better idea how i made out then. I'll post better picks so you can gimme a idea of what to do with them.
