7 Day Set of Swedes

Let me pick my jaw up off the floor.
I'd like to remind you all that my birthday is this month, November 28th. It would get here just in time :)
That would probably make me donate the rest of my razors to charity.

Exklusivt 7-dagars rakknivset av C. V. Heljestrand, razor på Tradera.

I think so, the 4th photo down looks like it has those Schreger lines.

How do you bid here

Can anyone tell me how do I bid on that set? Do I need to register to that site? I really want to try my luck with this one so please anyone teach me how to do it. Thx

You have to register first. I sent them a mail in English and they are quite helpful. Bidding ends November 15th. If you want me to do a proxy bid send me a PM.

Highest bid is 1000 S.Kr but lowest acceptable bid is not reached.

The ingredients of a bidding war!

Well, you guys will be competing against me and at least one more Swedish member of our forum. :gl:
I'm the highest bidder now.
Who will be standing when the dust settles?

I just like the idea of a Mondag razor. Monday wouldn't seem so bad if we called it Mondag.

I used to have a German watch, and on Tuesdays you could read "DIE"!!:)

Beautiful razors, that's for sure! They're at about $200 US now, 0720 CST.

Mandrake I assume you took that photo one morning as you were sitting by the pool awaiting the arrival of your breakfast with your camera bird-watching? Don't you hate it when all of the help arrives at the same time all vying for your attention and offering the same thing? Yeah me too. I've found in the past that when all of the maids show up at once like that, you have a discipline issue and really need to take a good hard look at matters. Once you have a situation where the help is in competition like that then things can get sticky. Grab the problem with both hands man! If you don't tackle that problem soon you'll find them all pestering you in the middle of the night! I can help! It so happens that I have openings on my staff and could use a pair of them. While normally I'd leave those domestic issues to my wife, in this instance I'll simply say that I'd be happy to take any two of them off your hands. What's the point of having a forum like this if we can't help each other out now and then? So I'll waive the interviews and just PM my address to you. I assume that you'll cover travel expenses for them? Isn't it good that we can help each other out like this?

I am out

I am out at $1500. So who will get it? There is about 1h left...
11-15-2009, 07:10 PM
richmondesi

I bet it gets at least to $1700... That's a lot more than I was expecting, but I guess when you link something to a place like this, it's just asking for a bidding war :p
11-15-2009, 07:12 PM

wow. i'm just watching but the thought is nice. My guess is 1800, anyone?

so did you got the set? like I said I am out.
11-15-2009, 07:41 PM
Olav Vittfarne

Nope. That is more than I make in a month. Dang.
It is a beautiful set, though. Looks unused and with ivory scales.

I am just lucky that the friend that is bidding for me on this is not at the computer right now because I would probably ask him to increase my bid and will end up paying to much for this set. So it is a "good" thing he can not access his computer and increase my bid. I keep watching that and I am thinking well... since I went as high as $1500 why not increase by 2-300$ but I guess in the end I will be happy that I didn't spent that much on a set. I hope I will be happy or else I will hate my friend for choosing the worst time to not be around the computer.

One can only wonder how many sets, with weekdays in Swedish,in this shape, that exists.
It is truly a rare find.
11-15-2009, 08:06 PM

Ok I can't stand it anymore... since my friend can not get to his computer in time to increase my bid is anyone here willing to bid for me on this... I will make it worth the effort. If yes please PM
11-15-2009, 08:09 PM
bassguy

Pure speculation, but what might have been the cost of this set when manufactured?

I'll hone them for who ever wins ;)

With shipping, it comes to a meager $163,899.92 US. Enjoy!

I don't think yuo worked that out correctly.

Highest bid was below reserve BTW.
11-15-2009, 08:23 PM

$1510.59 I'd probably not spend that on them (because SWMBO wouldn't understand), but that's a pretty good deal, IMO

I believe the highest bid was OVER the reserve. That what the website says and the also it is shown in green color not red as it's showed when you are under the reserve. Anyway in case anyone care I DO NOT feel better yet for loosing this :aargh: especially that my highest was $1500 and this went for $1510.

Take solace in the fact that the winner was prepared to go to $3000 and all you did was save him money ;)

Guys, I kind of wanted that set :boohoo:Smooth shaving to whoever the lucky fellow was. :beer2:

I looked at the bidding history and it seams that I (through my friend) am responsible for bring the price from $1000 to over $1500. So to how ever won this set congrats and sorry for bringing the price up for you ... but then again you out-bided me so I am not sure how sorry I am.
