Thread: Are prices going down?

That my observation anyway, but then again, we all target different razors...

I think prices are down across the board. I've picked up a few NOS/minty razors recently for less than they'd have sold for 6 months or so ago...but then I still see inexplicably high prices from time to time, so who knows

I've been buying ALOT lately, primarily because I feel like I'm getting bargains on razors I've wanted but passed on in the past.

Prices in the classifieds went down right away compared to the B/S/T. But it does seem that prices have continued to go down. I typically sell in the classifieds, and I have noticed that sales have been rather slow, which results in dropping prices. Seems demand is down on the classifieds.

I think it's across the board too. I sell razors on occassion. They have sold for much less on eBay. Razors that used to sell for $175 are now going for $105. However, razors that I sell on the forums still sell quickly though.

I'm going to test the trend because I will be selling a few rare razors soon. We'll see how well they do.

Well, I got outbid on 3 auctions in the last 24 hours, so much for the prices going down
Man, there was such a nice Böker

Okay, guess it's time to check out the local antique store. Talking business to the seller as one man to another.
Damn girlie-eBay I don't need you, I shop like a man.

I think I know which one you're talking about 'cos I bid on it too. Black covered tang? Super sweet razor. It didn't go for as much as I expected ($115?), but I think it was a fair price.

No, that was not "mine".
But it sounds great!
"Mine" was much cheaper but still exceeded my budget

So gentlemen and ladies too, is it time to buy or sell?

Al raz.

After watching a bit longer, to tell the truth, I don't see that much change. Some things have come down though. I haven't seen the $500 Filly's and the $400 DD GE's like I was seeing a few months ago.

Yeah there was a Dorko recently, NOS (aren't they all? Don't they always seem to be unused and with that little paper ribbon on a string? I swear someone is portioning out NOS Dorkos very very slowly like DeBeers does diamonds) that went for at or around $150. Six months ago that would have went for double that amount.

Funny thing that, I just did a search for Dorko's on the net.

I found a Russian (I think) internet site and it was selling the same "unusual" Dorko that I saw on E Bay.

It went through my mind that somebody may be copying the razors.

Anyway, I steered clear.
