I think I know the answer to this but I am going ot ask anyway.
I made myself a promise that I wasn't going to buy anymore razors until I finished restoring the ones I already have. OK so I broke my own rule.
As I was cruising eBay the other night I did buy a razor I liked. IT was under $30 shipped and I'm happy with that. It was a nice razor in decent shape and just needs a bit of clean up.
As I looked around at razors I noticed a few that actually made me stop and go Huh! WHAT THE HECK!
One was a razor that had the entire edge broken off about 1/8" 'up the entire length of the blade. and the hone wear was drastic on top of that. Price BIN $70 Huh!
Another was so worn it tapered almost to a point and only a little of the hollow was left in the blade. Price BIN $65
Now I am pretty sure that these particular sellers either had no idea what the razor market would actually bare for those items or they were just fishing for a sucker. But it got me to thinking.
I saw several examples of this type of thing from both us sellers and a few from foreign sellers. Yes I am relatively a new kid on the block but I have been here long enough to see that most of you don't have much interest in blades that are beyond legitimate use with no life left in them.
SO my question is this. Are there razors out that have collectors value because of their age or maker no matter what the condition?
