Thread: Kidding, right? nope

Since I liked looking at the overpriced listings people have posted in the past, I figured I would share this find with everybody. It's an Osgood, Bray & Co Corn Razor that has seen many many many better days. It can be had for a mere $76! Osgood, Bray & Co Corn Razor In Box Straight Razor | eBay

And here is a screen-cap of the page for when the auction time is up:

This is the same seller that had a Durham Duplex listed for $149.

When this store started listing razors, they started off with a 50% off sale which had me thinking about making some purchases (it brought it down to something more like full retail). I held off thinking that they might go to 75% at some point out of desperation.. The sales actually went from 30%, to 20%, even after a relisting!

Madre de Dios.
That is a pretty penny for that piece of you know what.

I can see them not knowing what something is worth, and putting a price like those seen on something. However, one would think after lots of things haven't sold, items that probably would have sold had they been marked lower, they would do something like... oh I don't know, lower the price? I guess if you have nothing but time, and have the storage space, you can keep posting them until some poor sap bites on one. What I don't understand, though, is how these folks think that is what a razor should look like. It's the super-rare smiling frown blade!

They are so over priced on all there stuff. I was looking at their listings for the past 2 weeks. They bought a complete collection at estate sale and are trying to sell at huge mark-up to collectors and the fufu crowd, not actual users. IMO
here is an image of collection

I have a friend like that. Everything in his house is "rare" "mint" and/or "antique." He never manages to see any damage, rust or plain old rot. He often offers to sell me stuff but his prices are too high. Honestly, he hardly ever sells anything.

But it's in the original box !!!

That makes it very collectible.<g>

I hope that seller never sells any razors at the prices he's asking.

Now all the items are marked make offer. Has anyone made an attempt to contact them? Make a Fair Market Value offer
