Thread: Antique shops think they're Ebay now.

Chris

I agree with you 100%


I went to an antique shop with 45 different dealers in there this past week end .

1 lady had a Torrey with Great pink scales but half an inch of the blade was broken off
a price tag of $200 on it . I told her that the razor is not even worth $15 in the condition it is in and the only reason someone may pay that much was for the scales and they would trash the blade she laughed and thought I was trying to bargain with her . I walked away of course . I go to another guy that had a 5/8 puma with case and in pretty good condition he wanted $20 for it I talked him down to $12 . I then walked back to the lady and showed her my $12 puma and said your pricing is out of whack she laughed and said well on ebay I could get my asking price for it . I told her I was a collector and if she was able to sell that Torrey for $200 on ebay I would give her $1000 .


People are crazy these days . everyone wants to believe they have the rarest razor in their hand and it will make them rich
