Thread: Like Bidding Wars???

Chris, I've been visiting those razors also. I'd rather buy there than eBay.

Two at the same time OMFG is there a blue moon or is Hell getting cold????

RARE Old DUBL DUCK Lifetime GRIM REAPER Straight Razor - eBay (item 350331031208 end time Mar-30-10 19:04:08 PDT)

I totally dig the scale design - very classy, in a hairpin bend way. Must be the super rare Nürburgring Edition.

How about that leather pouch with 5/8, Lifetime and the ducks impressed into it. That is really cool for the hard core dd collector. I bet this one goes even higher than the last one.

Ha! I actually hesitated several times before posting submitting the link (although I'd wager that someone here has posted it in the past). I figure that any money they could get, even from old stock, will encourage them to keep making those gorgeous razors.

Something I find intriguing is that so many or the NOS razors are 3 and 4/8. Apparently these must have been popular with some segment of the population or they wouldn't have made them. Also the frequency of round points. Sure they shave fine and I suppose they are less threatening to the new shaver than a French or a spike point but they are so blah. Some killer razors there though, too bad I've learned some self restraint.

I agree, I hope Revisor is around for a long time to come. To each their own: I would prefer an NOS vintage razor over a new production razor. That's just my personal preference.

I don't know where you stand on your view of vintage razor prices or whether you think they're higher than they should be, etc. IMO alerting the troops to the NOS razors on that site could contribute even if in a small way to driving prices up further (increased demand + finite supply = higher prices). I actually don't think vintage NOS razors are currently overpriced so it's no skin off my back, I'm just sayin.

If you go to the bid history and scroll down you will see that a bidder with 681 feedback retracted his bid of $505.00 for, he says, wrong bid amount.

Than go to the other Lifetime that is active and check that bid history. The guy with 681 is bidding on that. I guess he decided to go for the one with the leather pouch. All is fair in love and razor collecting.
