You're a better man than me. I have laughed in someone's face before. There at antique sellers and antique collectors posing as sellers. If prices are too high, walk. Lotsa razors out there.

That sounds about right, even better if there 2 or 3 that you want to get then the offer is less then 10 a piece,if no deal walk away.

Thanks for the replies.
I do however retract my statement about finding no threads with big bulk purchases.
show and tell section has several with 3-16 razors purchased in one shop.

All good advise given in the above posts. Be sure to check every nook and cranny. Straight razors are notorious for hiding in the least likely places. Only the good ones with good prices should go home with you.
