    I guess the illusion is that such a razor is too grand to capture in one image

    Hey, I don't have any heartache with someone trying to make a buck. It's part of the free market mentality. However, I have to figure that guy is not a member here or he'd probably be tarred, feathered, and ran out of town..

    It is no secret that I have no love lost for this guy.....
    I've seen this guy do the same thing on a straight I was bidding on a while ago. The guy does his homework and may even use this site for his reference material and takes great pictures.

    That said his efforts are part of what is keeping the price of straights high. If some people see a straight listed for $640 they are likely to bid a much higher price for similar razors that may show up in the future. Others may see that pprice and realize that they have $640 sitting in a box somewhere in their house and list it on Ebay hoping for a windfall.

    Personally I would never buy from this seller. It's obvious what he is doing and I don't need to double or more the price of this razor just because he took pictures of it. Each to their own. Every time I see one of his blades for sale I cringe and avoid it like the plague. There is nothing he could sell that I can't live w/o and I don't need to pay his inflated prices. Nothing wrong with free trade but I feel his tactics are more towards the sleaze end of the scale.

    He has been around for a while and in my opinion, that is exactly his game. All the razors I have seen from him have been way over top end again in my opinion.

    Have fun,

    Looks like a crook. If he thinks a crack is no big deal, I'll sell him my c-mon, it needs cleaning up and will loose most of the gold wash, but has no cracks. I'll let him have it at 190.

    Not to mention with the "make an offer" option someone who doesn't know any better may see the $640 tag and offer $320 as a long shot offer. If he accepts he still makes a profit.
