Thread: Do you watch crazy auctions?

Does anyone else 'watch' items on ebay just to see if someone will actually buy them?

I always see razors with super high asking prices, some are in great condition and some are horrible. I just watch them to see if they are worth that much to someone for one reason or another.

Yeah I've done that a few times. Ill see a rare item that has been on a lot so the price is high, Ill watch it just to see the final price.

Sometimes the curiosity factor is too much, like a road accident, you just have to look.

Yes, if only to reinforce the notion i learned early in life, that a fool and his money are soon parted.

haha yeah it's always interesting to see if this stuff sells. I watch more items that I don't want than ones that I do. And the ones I do want are never affordable

One of my favorite sellers for truly batsh!~ crazy listings:

New! TAMAHAGANE High-end Straight Razor: IWASAKI-SANJOU | eBay

Here's a good 'un ...... Item number: 220778688611. A Wade & Butcher "The Celebrated, For Barbers Use" with hone wear and patina @ $385.00 closing bid.

The W&B isn't nearly as bad as others I've seen, still definitely not worth the closing price though IMO.

I've seen several DDs and Pumas with severe scale rot sell for hundreds

It is fun to watch to see how much they can get. I saw a fat boy gillette still in the package go for $1900. I know somethings have historical value and will get higher prices. But that is out of my league.

Nah, that is insanity.
