Thread: Nice W&B, Buut...

These Wade and Butchers, with the stamp "Blank for Concaving" are not that rare at all. Geo Wostenholm made some as well http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...abay-fake.html. My guess is that these were sold as is to street grinders and third partys to finish.

This particular razor grinding doesn't look like it was done professionally at all, and the scales don't match the time period, or the blade at all. The only thing its got going is it large size.

Somewhat sad that someone will pay that much for a razor that probably has some geometry problems.....

$695
Reserve not met.

Right. I see.

It was just $5 from the reserve... seller told me it was set at $700.

I suspect whoever bid 695 will get an email from the seller, and he'll take it.

Well, the seller could've lowered the reserve by those $5 and make the top bidder a winning bidder with a commitment to complete the sale. It'd be probably worth the $5 to avoid another ebay listing fee if he has to repost it. With only two bidders willing to go above $350 I wouldn't be too confident in the ability of that razor to fetch $700.

But may be the top bidder (or the second highest) hasn't changed his mind and will indeed be willing to take it for the max bid and everybody lives happily ever after

Or they can even arrange outside-of-ebay sale and cheat ebay out of their fee for connecting them
