Thread: Unopened C-MON HF on eBay: how old could this razor be?

You don't know if the watch is a frozen up rusted piece of junk or not. BTW, if you know what the machine is in the photo, you're officially old.

My feet still glow from those machines.

Looks like one of the old foot x ray machines that used to be in shoe stores.

I wonder if Joe knows about this auction...

<_<

>_>

I'm sorry I didn't mean to go public with the... uh... public eBay item. I thought people who're actively watching for such razors would know of things like this. I really didn't mean to step on anyone's toes; my apologies

No worries! Many of us prefer to keep items on ebay on the low until after it's sold. Most of us on SRP have noticed when a live auction is slapped up here is jumps in price and in some instances what could have been the deal of the year for you just jumped from $50 to hundreds and hundreds. That or after you see the link here the next morning you wake up and there are 100 extra watchers, 20 more bids and 30 Best Offers that were shot down and your $50 bid looks weak against those that saw the link that have more buying power. It is what it is and that's the game. *shrugs*

I wouldn't worry about it in the least bit. I was just being a dork. Please accept my apologies if I offended you. If I didn't offend you, well, lets have a beer and see how high the price can go.

I love it when you see these "check out this low priced amazing thing"

Then about 5-10 guys secretly shaking their fist at the OP for blowing a potential bargain.

Oh eBay, I love to hate you.

Without giving anything away, the sealed razors we've all been watching lately are real, in immaculate condition and often shave ready (the two I've seen at least). But what would I know? ;-)

I'll post a picture of mine when it comes back......I traded a 9/16 for 5/8 with the seller!

This was another thing I wondered about. Are the blades measured from under the spine,as some Solingen razors were, or above? This would make a 9/16 a 5/8 in total width.
