This is a much better option.
(For you American chaps, the sellers name refers to foot ware)
Never seen such a large Bengall.
Say?.............
That's a nice looking blade! All original?
A fool and his money are soon parted:) It still amazes me what people will try to get for razors on the bay.
I think it would be a fun Social Experiment to set up a few of these type sales and use it as an educational tool... Similar to the group that was running fake-fake email fishing scame that, after the Link was clicked, took the person to an educational page explaining some ins/outs of Razor Pricing.
I've never had the issue with razors that I sold as I just don't ask that much but we once had an Ad for a good condition swingset up locally for FREE and 30 days later still no sale... I changed the Ad to ask $100 and it sold the next day and even after I explained to the buyer my situation and that she was more than welcome to it for no charge she insisted on paying $50. ??!!??!!
I would love to know what drives these results... Maybe competitive bidding but seems unlkely that would be the whole answer. :shrug:
You get what you pay for seems to be ingrained in people's minds. So they have a problem with free stuff.
But then; you were supposed to give a gratuity to your executioner!?!!?
I recently went back to the scene of a crime. A person wanted an espresso machine I had. The price was to be $200. When I was not happy with the way it was working, I told her only $100. Well, lo and behold, I stopped bye the store yesterday and she wrote me out a check for another hundred and would not take no for the answer. I do not mind, she was happy and I am ahead for something I may want.
You were also to give a gratuity to the boatman on the river Styx to get to Hades.

The money to the Executioner was to ensure a "clean" cut. The pennies on your eyes for the ferryman was to pay the toll, and was usually done by your friends or family.
