    Default Ebay experiment :)

    I wanted to sell a restored razor in the classifieds, with a price that I had deemed fair. I double checked the price with someone who sells more razors, because it was ages since I sold a razor and I had no idea about what constitues a fair price for such blades.

    It didn't sell so it made me wonder what I should have asked. Rather than change the price again until it sold, I decided to take a gamble and listed it on ebay for 99 ct. No reserve. I am curious about whether I will actually make a profit, or whether it will be a loss.

    As I said it is a gamble, but I figured it would be fun to see what happens It is an market experiment.

    Those scales look awesome. To Bknesal, the scales are made from ash wood.

    Now don't I feel like an idiot! I only read half of the description thinking I had read the whole thing

    I blame the 1 spiked cider, 1 glass of wine, and 1 bottle of Sam Adams I used to help forget about the lab report I just finished!

    Wow. A whole 5$50 already!
    The initial bid has been more than quintupled
