Thread: Why is this set so expensive

Hey everybody,
why is this set so expensive? Am I missing something here? SOLINGEN 89 FRAM 7 DAY VINTAGE STRAIGHT RAZOR SET W/CAS - eBay (item 250526059003 end time Nov-15-09 21:54:26 PST)

Does everyone on ebay want to strike gold with any old razor they have? Take a look at what this guy is selling (nice items to be honest) but look at the prices.

The reason the Fram is so expensive is because its the only razor in the world manufactured from old oil filters. Har Har.

Well in this case that Bill Gates will better not be late with that loan again as I am sure you don't want to miss this one

Because the seller is taking a shot. He doesn't get charged for his first 5 listings in a no reserve auction and $20.00 final value if someone is dumb enough to buy it. If it was minty I would say between $300 and $500.

Thanks Jimmy. It is true that I am looking for a nice 7 day set but this one is not even close to what I have in mind. I thought maybe this one was just another of those crazy items that nobody knows about and in the end it sells for fabulous amounts of money like that razor that sold for 9k on ebay a while ago if anyone here remembers it.
