    Default People like Filarmonicas and Bokers!

    No surprise there. I'm listing some razors on Ebay which include among others, a Filarmonica #13 (one of those NOS ones) and a Boker King Cutter.

    What interests me, and the reason I posted this is as a seller, Ebay gives you those stats of how many views your listing has received and how many people are "watching" your listing.

    In less than 48 hours on the Filly, there have been 69 views with 7 watchers and on the Boker 17 views and 4 watchers.

    That tells me that people must be searching for Fillys and the Boker specifically. I know "tell us something we don't know!" but still, it's cool to see the popularity stats as a seller of something.

    I know what you mean. Some razors gather lots of interest within minutes of being posted. Try listing a Dubl Duck sometime! (the Eye of Mordor will open right away and you will get lots of views within 5 minutes!) It's kind of like having a yard sale, with lots of passers by looking at your stuff and asking questions. Most just move on, though. It's the actual bids that count!

    Now that gave me a chuckle. Thanks for that!

    Good for her! What size blades? BTW, I know a Spanish dealer who has lots of NOS Filarmonicas and even Friodurs. You might be able to work out a good deal and avoid high postage and losses in the mail. PM me if you would like his e-mail address.

    They are amazing shavers, no doubt about that. the prices can sometimes be a little nuts though. You get what you pay for, but sometimes you pay for hype and over excitement.
