Thread: Worth bidding on???????

One other thing to be careful with ebay is "bidding frenzy"...I think some people get in the heat of the moment and end up paying a lot more than they should. It is easy to get in that trap. I have succumbed myself before but luckily was outbid at the last second. After it was over I thought to myself...why did I go that high????

I think there have been a few of us there. Perhaps even the other side of the frenzy. My current strategy is to only bid at the last second because everyone else is obviously sleeping. My max isn't close to what it used to be and I will wait if I have to, I already have more than two...

The Mod Team has gone through this thread and removed quite a few posts that went way off topic and the posts that quoted those posts...

Please keep the discussion about the razor in question..

Many Thanks

I had noticed this razor on ebay as well... in the pics, it says MANUFACTUREDBY ... no space between "manufactured" and "by". Does this suggest it may not be legit? Or is that common for wade & butcher?

WB stamps were all over the place over the years, and the later models had many small variations. If someone would go to the trouble to counterfeit a WB razor I would think at least they'd choose a more valuable model.

Dexter,

I looks like the seller pulled the plug on the auction early. I wonder if it was another one of those situations were someone contacted the seller and agreed to a price outside of Ebay.

Just noticed that myself, I wondered if the auction had ended for a second and it sold for $9.00 ...then realized it had been unlisted...yup, could have been a side deal, it happens.

Was a nice blade...

I have bought 2 razors from this vendor. Paid a bit more than I would now but they are 2 of my best shavers. Have been following his sales and every razor he sells commands top dollar. I would buy from him again so if somebody made an offer it was one he could not refuse. The razors are all top quality.

Look for the Lavender Handmade Box.....and there you'll find: Cedrick Smythe, who does not appear to be interested in any razor which would not compliment the box. I would buy a razor from him except for that pesky money part of the deal.
