Thread: Why the crazy markups?

People suggesting paying $40.00 dollars for a junk razor to learn to hone with? No name razors selling for $30.00 in BST? I bought 6 razors 4 of which were Henckles one of which was ivory handled and a leather roll case on Ebay for $90.00 shipped to Sweden! After about five to six hours on the sandpaper all were looking like new. Hell, I know I'm in Sweden but I payed 1 euro for a heljestrand in good condition! I could turn around and sell all of these in the BST for probably 3x what I payed for them.

Can someone please explain to me why some people who are purchasing razors on Ebay turn around and sell them for exorbitant prices on srp? There are certianly deals to be had in BST, but often times things just seem over priced.

Whats with the greed of some folks?
