Thread: Buy it now vs Auctions ( Ie High shipping charges)

This was a great thread to read! Thanks guys, it helps. I've been selling my collection lately because of necessity, and it is painful, seriously. Well I did a few auctions and sold those razors for cheaper than I'd buy them, but as cheap as I'd love to buy them.
I switched to buy it now/offer. Much better. Though on blades that go for 300-400 I was getting offers of 25 -75, ugh! Need to adjust settings.
The shipping issue seems to be a real problem for many buyers! On a blade selling for 300, hey, I don't mind paying the shipping.. but then again what's another 6.80?
On a blade selling for 20... it doesn't add up for the seller.
Well anyway, thanks for the good info!
Are there any sites that have serious collectors with big wallets buying razors? Do tell! Hehehe
Cheers gents!

I've found if you want to sell razors it's best to have recognized brands that are not past the hundred dollar mark. Most folks want a bargain and most like things in the well under the hundred category. Razors for twenty thirty bucks go like hotcakes.

More expensive pieces like customs and semi customs are big money losers for sellers. An exception is a real recognized brand like Zowada which fetches original price and more. We may know Livi and Williams but most don't and few will part with a lot of cash for them.

one clear way to get around the shipping cost is to hunt for razors and shaving related gear in the wild!

I have tried fining them in the wild, it seems they didn't have down here in Mobile,Al. Because all the Antique shops don't carry straight razors, I have found a couple of Old Spice shaving mugs down here though and a Col. Conk soap "round" fits them perfectly.. My brother can find straight razors all day long up there in and around Athens, Al. .
