Thread: Flabergasted: Bill Ellis custom straight sell on ebay for under $200

That is also my take on custom anything, you have a limited number of people it appeals to on a resale. If you get someone that is hot for it on resale, flog it because they will be willing to pay the price unless you are willing to hang on to it.

That is quite surprising.
I've lost out on Ellis razors on ebay before, but they went for more than 1500USD...

Sad, I know who bought that blade and what he paid for it originally maybe a year ago.

The marketplace is not where you go to find sanity and sound decisions. If the seller was parting with a personal razor of this extraordinary beauty due to Misfortune laying one of its feces encrusted fingers on his shoulder, the pain is tangible. I've been there and the first to go are the fun things, guns, fly rods, cameras, bicycles....tools. Try 3 divorces and notice one day you are back in a sleeping bag using a P-38 and wondering WTF quickly followed up by a FTW. Good luck to the seller, don't quit........

for those wondering, a P-38 is a military style finger-held 'can opener'

Just thought I'd help....oh, and I've been there....
