    Default Razor prices

    Wow the price of razors are rising faster thn gas prices. I started shaving and acquiring str8's about four years ago. At the time I started you could get a decent razor on ebay for $40. Now I have seen more razors over triple digits then ever before. My favorite razors are Dorko, they are now way out of my price range. Guys STOP BUYING RAZORS . I haven't won an ebay razor in a year..

    Price used to be determined by supply and demand. I don't think that rule applies any longer, at least on gas prices.

    If I could tell you the number of collecting hobbies I've dropped in my lifetime because the prices became outrageous....

    Now its happening to straights. I'm afraid the collectors are discovering straights and thats like investors in the crude oil market. They are spiking the prices.

    The continuing devaluation of the USD is part of the problem as well. Not so long ago it was about 1 USD for 1 Euro. Recently an NOS Dorko went for Euro 65 on ebay.de

    I guess that is part of the problem but I just saw two razors I was watching on ebay go for $265 and $280 I think that is more than devaluation of the dollar.

    Still nowhere near as bad as (petrol/diesel) prices over here. They're gonna hit the £2 per litre mark in a few years.

    Home heating oil is projected to reach the £1 per litre by the year 2010. Now that IS scary.

    For you US guys, that approx $2 per litre.
