I agree. Another fellow taking a shot at finding a fool to part from his money.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I start to suspect that people are selling by the wight, the chunkier the more expensive, does not matter what it takes to make it look like a razor again...

From the viewpoint of restoring and reselling, I don't think that price is too bad. (it isn't great, though... kind of high) Now, if you guys who (as far as I know) buy to keep and use, the price is awful because you would still be investing mondo-bucks to get them scaled up.
All depends on the target market...

To me price looks high for restoration purposes, those need to come truly perfect to be able to make for the time and effort to restore. I would be ok with those being put to bid on, and starting bid of say half what he wants. Definitely out of question for someone that will buy and then send them out for restoration.

Just guessing but the seller probably got into razor resto and found it was more work than he wanted to put into it. His price is based on the value of the blades + his labor. From his point of view it might be fair but not from my point of view.

There are three types of straight razor sellers on ebay—I'm speaking in the category of those who found them in an estate and don't know what to sell them for.
1) Those who put them on ebay for low and hope they sell high.
2) Those who know how to do an internet search which will lead them here to find out what they found.
3) "WOW, look what I found!!! It's old and must be worth a fortune!!!"
