Interesting, isn't it? I think you can still get Bartmann razors from John Crowley for considerably less. Of course, they are not rare, unique, and near mint with only a few water spots.
I have a couple of Le Grelots with no water spots, but that would probably drive the value way down. I guess I'll keep 'em. Once again the opportunity for great wealth passes me by. Rats!

I am trying to figure that one out too.
I wonder what makes it $350 better than this one:
admittedly this one is a Wacker grind without the file work. I am definitely going to show this auction to my wife when it's over - a great negotiating tool..

I'm gonna guess there are some collectors or Bartmann nuts out there that don't know about the shavingshop and who forget that there are others out there. Then again, I'd say the same for any bidding war on a straight razor.

The same seller also got $500.00 for this one tonight and a different bidder. Full moon?
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I think this seller has accumulated some customers that follow him with no guilt about flinging around their do-re-mi.
Much like the guy selling NOS Filarmonica's.

This one looks nicer than the bartman but still.? Ebay makes people crazy, I guess it is that it's mine, you can't have it mentality. Just the other night I was watching a Dremel stylus tool. This tool retails for $69 at the Home Depot and there were several buy it nows ranging from $65-$69 with varying shipping. In the last 10 minutes of the auction it went from $51 up to a $100 ending price with $12 shipping. Every time I refreshed, it went up. The crazy nut could have gotten the tool for at least $30 cheaper right there on ebay or I'm sure the gas plus sales tax at a retailer would not have come close to the $112.
