Thread: How much for a box?

Nicest box Ive ever seen, definetly worth the asking price!

I wonder if you can smell the DD scales outgassing from outside of the box?

Figured this is appropriate

Pretty dark dinnermint, but funny!

The seller is pretty clear in his valuation - a new dubl duck like the one supposed to be in the box is worth $200, however a sealed box on its own is worth between $395 and $695 plus shipping, regardless of the content.

Clearly not many people see it the same way because his auction ended without bids. He has relisted it, though, waiting for somebody willing to buy it. I don't think his chances are particularly good.

I think for razors being in the pakage is detrimental. What with cell rot or general rust. I get it if it was a rare toy or something. And even then I would want to be able to see the contents.

But this auction isn't really for a razor, it is for a brand new unopened item from a long time ago, the value is in the fact that it is completely intact.
A collector might like to have it for that fact.
If you want a decent doible duck there are olenty around.

That is a huge risk on many levels... I think he will be re-listing that for a long time!

This is deja vu all over again. Back when I first got on SRP a guy who said he was a relative of Pearlson (Pearlduck) IIRC had a sealed dubl duck Goldedge on the bay (USA) and IIRC it brought about $600 USD.

Same story, sealed box, you pays your money and takes your chances. I'm betting thebigspendur will remember this occasion, as he is very knowledgeable when it comes to that marque.
