Thread: The Wall Of Shame

This one is gassing.
Vintage Straight Razor O s T Cutlery Co "Uncle Sam" Gold Etch Blade Bolsters | eBay

If it isn't re-scaled in a hurry, it's gonna be a pile of rust.

Vintage Straight Razor Dorko Razor Model 1957 Solingen Germany Shipping Free | eBay

I really don't understand where these people get their prices from. Like do they do no market research. That dorko had 0 bids. Not surprising but why waste the time with putting something out for that price when if they just did a little research the razor probably would have sold and they would have gotten what they are going to get for that razor. I guarantee this guy is going to re-list it at only a little bit less, of course with the same result.

It's not a matter of market research, these vendors are plainly trolling for a sucker. Posting a sale on eBay is casting a wide net, once in a while they get lucky.

Bordee,
Please be aware that the handles only LOOK nice. They are giving off acid fumes, which were the cause of the razors corroding.
If you do not intend to replace them DO NOT close the blade inside the scales for storage. Leave it open or you will just watch your hard work and money turn back into more rust.

I gave one away for that reason alone. Man that hurts same a face nick,

Current posting This is up there

If ebay brought back some listing fees, it would end this kind of crap. I wish they would.
