Thread: eBay 101

Here's one I came across. What do you guys think of this one? This was on the Bay a while ago, and went for $160. Check out these pictures:





Despite the obvious everything else on the blade, is this a crack circled? Looks like it's a mirror image on both sides so I was really suspect. It's clearer when you reverse one image and overlay them, matching up the blade:

Most likey a crack IMO. If this is a thick blade it may not matter.

I wonder if the stabilizer had been ground at some point of time.

would they have done this to get more "life" out of the blade?? its hard to tell not seeing the whole blade but could this have been done if it was a HUGE chopper??? just wondering

I am not sure, I can't remember seeing one like that before

If I remember correctly that was not actually ground and was just a weird discoloration.

Speaking of oddities on the bay, I just found a seller offering nearly identical Goldenedge Ducks, one for an auction, the other with a BIN price. I spent several minutes comparing photos of the two to ascertain if they are 2 different razors, which they appear to be, but one has to wonder as to the "why?"

That's what I thought too. But the seller could just check other auctions and BIN listings to get an idea. I find it interesting there are A LOT of W & B's and DD's with high BIN prices and most likely those won't sell. But on the other hand, I watched an auction for a W&B with a starting bid of $0.99 and it ended over $400.

I guess someone had bidders' remorse because it looks like the $400+ W&B has been relisted, that or the seller has 2 nearly identical W&B's.
