I take out razor "A", and spend the normal 10 hours required for a full restore... I shave with razor "A" a few times, and say to self, Hmmmmm nice razor but razor "B" is coming up on ebay in 4 days and I really have been wanting to try one of those, (RAD is bad) So I put razor "A" on BST for ?????? How MUCH????
In your case I would sell razor "A" for $20, which won't buy razor "B"...Why because razor "B" is now going to sell for real money, because the used razor market is NUTZ right now... So razor "B" is out of my reach because, I can't afford to.... 1.) restore any more.... 2.) acquire more razors for restore.... 3.) acquire more supplies for restores.... But in your perfect little world, I should use money from my real job to pay for razor "B", and restore it with money from my real job, and resell it down the road, at what price????? oh yeah!!!!! according to you for the same, or less than what I bought it for... And let's not forget that I should also absorb the cost of razor "C" you know that one, with the warp that couldn't be fixed well enough to ever sell to any member on BST.
