Thread: How Nutz is this one going to be???

I saw it on craigs list and sent him an e-mail. He was selling it for 160.00, I offered 140 and he said ok. I was waiting for a paypal request that he said he was going to send on Saturday (three days after agreeing to sell it) when he sent me an e-mail saying that considering how much the last one went for (500) he could not sell it to me for 140, sorry.

This is by far the weirdest auction I have ever seen!!!!!

I may try and get me a good shape GE to see what all of this hoopla is about with the ducks.
But than again they have been going for crazy prices as well. I will just be patient and see if I can pick one up for a fair price.

That sucks for you.

just because one person buys one for $500 doesn't mean everyone will. But thats the way it goes I guess.

I bet he got smacked by eBay for how the auction was set up initially with the restricted bidding and posting about adding pics. No clue, just a guess.

I still thik he's nutz. I just noticed it looks like the back scale is cracked by the center pin and it looks like the pics now show less blade detail (pitting and rot). I may be a very nice item and I would actually pay big for a mint one, but that doens't look to be it. I'd love to get one someday....

So much for NOS.....

Sad part is if someone pays big dollar for it, it will just skew the prices even further putting one out of my reach even further I wish him the best of luck though.

Maybe I'll find someone with a bunch of them and willing to work out a deal..... barter maybe since I am broke!

Um neither auction have stated that it is NOS.

True he did not state NOS but it does say original condition, lol. I dont think he knows much about razors.

Oh well. As soon as the Sweeny Todd fascination wears off, the prices will be back down to what they should be and people won't be selling $30 razors for $100.

My point is he is trying for prices befitting a NOS example based on what they have been going for, not what is actually there.

I'm just peeved I was at work and missed a reasonable deal:

Not perfect, but much more in-line in my limited opinion.

That was a good deal I saw that and a few other DD's go for the right prices in the last 2 days
