    Default Wade and Butter knives

    Haven't you all never heard of antique Wade and Butter knives? Very rare indeed. 200 guineas would even be cheap!

    Don't forget, he also has a Best Offer option, which could well mean he'll sell it for much less. I recently found this Dorko which had a Buy it Now price of $230, plus $10 shipping. I offered $60, including shipping (i.e. 75 percent below his BIN price) and the seller took it.

    Of course, that W&B looks really rough, so it probably isn't worth even 25 percent of his BIN price . . .

    yeah but like i said, there is a % paid to even list a BIN item, right? why pay all that for an item than 99% odds speak for will not sell? granted, the odds are better than the lottery, but they are still crappy lol i can see him taking a B/O on it... but stiill... the BIN price is a bit hefty... its almost like hes encouraging a B/O auction... but then, why not set a reserve price? isnt it cheaper that way?

    I have a full set of 6 of those, yours for a measly $1000. And by the way, the razor that started this all off? Well, it DID belong to HRH Wales - I saw him using it last week in the back of his VW campervan. Honest.

    The pic sucks . I would want to see both sides of the razor , nice clear well lit pics , and even then I don't think I would give $10.00 for it .

    i offered him $5.50 ! which with the $15.12 for the shipping is WAY over valued.

    That razor has been up for a long time, He actually lowered the price it was a lot more.
