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?
I wouldn't call it greed! Most of the members here take time to restore the razor to tip top condition before selling it, and none of these members get any real compensation for their work! Also, if they got it from ebay, they take a risk that the blade will not be good for restoration! and lastly, you can not sell an item for more than someone else is willing to spend!
if you found a diamond for pennies on the dollar would you turn around and sell it at that price? not likely!
