    Default I don't understand why my Le Grelot sold for so much.

    Not that I'm complaining but it doesn't make any sense.

    Le Grelot - Straight Razor | eBay

    It sold for $170 and it wasn't a big blade nor was it shave ready. Any ideas why?.Name:  $(KGrHqZ,!rgE+)wFpd)iBQHLTMZpjQ~~60_57.jpg

    You didn't describe it as a "Monster Chopper" did you?

    French is big now a days. As long as there is something that looks French on the blade it sells high even if it's 'La Merde'!

    That is the postive thing about listing as
    a no reserve auction.
    the guy who willing to pay the must
    gets the item.

    I recognize that razor, that particular piece was custom made in collaboration by Pierre Thiers and Monsieur Grolet in 1899. It has been appraised at $30,000. Don't spend it all in one place ....

    My best guess is because of the name Le Grelot, nothing more nothing less....

    I gave up trying to make sense of ebay pricing a long time ago. What's hot seems to change on a daily, sometimes hourly basis.
