    Yours for the low, fair price of $249.95. You are welcome to submit an offer however.

    I once saw a double W&B coffin box listed for like $110 and was annoyed. This seller has resoundingly trounced all previous "Expensive Yet Empty Straight Razor Box" listings I've seen on eBay with optimistic authority.
    !! Enjoy the exquisite taste sharpening sharpening taste exquisite smooth. Please taste the taste enough to ride cutlery.

    Whenever I see a ridiculous offering like this I have to think it is some inside joke amongst the sellers. There may be contest of which person can sell the most outrageous item for the most money.
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    You may be on to something Dave. If this is indeed the case, and they are in the wings snickering, then I can accept this tom-foolery and indeed, embrace it

    BTW- Missed you at the Iowa Meet-up!

    I think some of these sellers just don't know anything about what they're selling.

    I agree, in fact maybe they even subscribe to this thread to see if their efforts show up here!

    Well, as long as the rust is not too bad and there are no cracks, you could still hone that down and maybe have a "save"

    Honestly, I can't see any "shame" in this auction. At the time of this post the seller is very straight forward about the state of the razor and its usefulness.

    Only real shame is offering it. Each to their own.

    I have to agree with Hart on this one. The seller did not misrepresent the condition in any way, nor did they ask an absurd amount for it. He even stated the blade width when measured at the largest chunk of missing blade. That's right up there with that guy a few months back that went to great lengths to show the minor corrosion with the use of varied camera & lighting angles. I will, however, say that the current condition of the blade is a darn shame!
