Is there a lull in the market?

**cjglancy** · 10-09-2011, 04:37 AM

I am a fan and collector of Wade and Butchers but I am not seeing as many razors up for auction. Is the a lull in the market these days. Obviously I dont want to get into a discussion or the economy and disposable income.

Just curious from the forum's point of view.

IME it ebbs and flows. Watch when the snow comes. In the winter when folks are spending less time out of doors there is more action on ebay overall. At least that is my take on it over the years.

WB may have made gazillions of Razors,but the really good stuff is drying up as people move into tangibles.

It was either that or my backyard here in Norway...

The bay does seem a bit on the slow side these days.
That said, I did a search just now and found 4 nice W&B I wouldn't mind having

Near the holiday season people need more money as well and that is when they start selling off grandpa's priceless collection of rust.

I think the rumors about moving into tangibles are largely just that: rumors. And usually pundits are referring to real tangibles like precious metals, not carbon steel. I don't think there's a sudden run on W&B razors--more likely it's just the typical ebb & flow of merchandise on eBay.
