Thread: Seller Must Feel Like He Died And Went To Heaven

Pike coticules are top quality but that is enough to buy a les latneuses hybrid and a labeled escher.... or any number of options. It makes me feel like throwing a pike up full of stamps still for a dumb bin...

I just offered the guy in Russia $1000 for his Escher. BIN $2500
Glad he didnt take me up on that offer.
Crazy times on the bay.

I wouldn't even want that Escher because it's too mint, absolutely NOS, with that stamp on the face. I want a nice Escher I can actually use.

I had an Escher with the ink stamps on the face and didn't use it for the longest time. Then I figured I wasn't going to be a curator for a museum and honed on the ink stamps. Good stone. Flattened it after I took pix of the stamps. When I sold it I got what I paid. But I know what you mean, it is better to get one that is full, but the ink stamps aren't an issue. BTW, that guy is asking the moon for that stone. AFAIC it is too big. Anyway ....... different strokes for different folks.

Sold one like it for a fraction of that price.

That is exactly what I told the guy. I am going to put this stone into service. My current YG Thuri is the size of my finger. I would like the providence, but I will take no papers and that unique egde over names anyday.
I dont care if you Graduated with honors from Harvard. How many procedures have you done this year? lifetime?
What is your personal mortality and morbidity rate before you touch me.
Its like a woman she may be pretty but if she doesnt bring anything to the table she is of no use to me.
Lastly which would I rather have for the grand? A custommade razor with my input from a artisan, or a Big Escher, when I own all the other important hones.

You are correct - not seeing a lot of stuff that even makes me want to bid anymore, and what's there is astronomical in price.

I have that Escher I've posted several times, NOS in the original wooden box, stamps, labels, all intact, and paid a 1/3 of what that guy was asking.....crazy times indeed.

I am looking for a YG Escher. Would take a No papers one. But not for these numbers.
Clinically speaking these hones are for straight razors. How do you see the growth curve for that over a 10 year period?
Lastly I have had to open several cases against sellers from China within the last month. No product ever arrives. Global problems are effecting my online flea market.

Looks like someone else wants to test the waters with another Pike Coticule now.

That's scag from above. Nothing against his listing, but I'd hate to buy a coticule like that only to find that it's about as good as other fine coticules.
