These aren't US dollars. Unsure of the currency but it is a fraction of that

Argentine peso to US dollar x 0.11 = $53.90
Argentine peso to Canadian dollar x 0.14 = $68.60

So still not exactly a steal then.

Those are Argentine Pesos (ARP).

I was tempted just because I was basically in doubt regarding the serrated blade. If I arrange to meet the seller personally I could check before closing the deal. I decided against this so far.

We have two different exchange rates: The official (legal) one is about 9 to 1 ARP/USD. It is not easy to get dollars at that rate. The free (illegal) one is about 15 to 1. In any case we are quite far from the USD 490.-

I usually browse mercadolibre.com.ar with "navaja de afeitar", but not sure what for. I am not a collector and I already own one, but usually enjoy juggling with things. Used to do this with fountain pens, now I have a bunch of them (not even certain about their value, or models in most cases). That's why I wouldn't collect stamps, or coins for example; I prefer things to work on, or to be used.

Rgds.
