why didn't this sell?
ANTIQUE WESTER BROS CLEAR CELLULOID HANDLE - eBay (item 200370037069 end time Aug-11-09 16:42:00 PDT)
I am trying to understand what is a good buy on eBay and what I should pass over. So, I was thinking of posting razors that either didn't sell or sold for less than I thought it would go for. Then ask for a discussion of the razors demerits.

If I were currently buying razors on ebay, I would have been willing to buy that because I know that Wester Bros. made quite good shaves. The blade looks fine and barely used. The rust seemed minimal and easily cleaned off. I suspect the main issue was the ugly scratched home-made scales. This razor would required rescaling, buffing/polishing, and honing. After all that, if it turned out fine, you could probably sell it for $40-$60 or keep it yourself.

Great idea for an ongoing thread :)

i would have bought it had i seen it... some time on the buffer and some black acrylic scales....

I was thinking others could contribute. I have several potentials I am watching now.
Personally I needed a reason NOT to bid on every good deal I see.

both of those listings have been removed:confused:
At any rate, I have a Top Flight razor and it is a solid shaver. Not the best, but pretty darn good. Definitely worth snagging, considering their limited run.

hopefully that fixes the links.

OK, I see them now.
They both look salvageable with minimal work. Perhaps the name is putting guys off? Ebay is weird.

I was going to bid on the Wester Bros. but forgot about it been working on tthe car all day and didn't bid
