Thread: Merkur straight. BIN or Best Offer!

I want one, but this is out of my price range, so over to you guys!
1920 MERKUR SOLINGEN STRAIGHT SHAVING RAZOR BLADE *MINT on eBay, also Straight Razors, Shaving, Vanity, Perfume Shaving, Collectibles (end time 05-Feb-09 17:17:45 GMT)
A fairly uncommon find & looks like it's in great condition too.

Ooof, that's outside of my price range too. Pass.

Price is not in my range either,and that 4/8 blade is a little small for my tastes too.

I know that a 4/8 is not everybody's favourite, but they have real merits. I think it's overpriced on the BIN, so it's down to what he'll take for it. How about a bunch of you get some low offers in & when i offer $50 it'll look that much more attractive!

Good idea,it might work.

You can try $50.00, I bought one a year ago. I offered $100.00 and he took it. Although the description makes it appear that it comes from the UK it took weeks to arrive here to the USA and came from Bulgaria.

The razor and box were pristine mint. It is a 4/8 though. I can't say how it shaves. After I got it I threw it in a drawer and haven't looked at it since.

Based on that information, he wants $200 for his & you think it may be worth offering $50, I'll give you $25 for yours!

I didn't say it may be worth offering $50 ......... I said you can try it. Mine is worth $200 but I got it for half that. Not for sale though.

Ah well. Somehow i thought you'd reject that one! To be honest, i couldn't justify even $25 for another razor i don't need. SWMBO will start finding them soon as they spill out of cupboards etc!
