Thread: rad has gotten the best of me time to clean house

If you're sure you want to get rid of them the SRP classifieds or ebay are the only way I know of.

I've thought of doing the same thing actually. I only have 7 razors, but I really don't use all of them so I've thought about selling a few. I would just think of a price I'd like to sell them for and put out an ad here in the classifieds.

I feel that's a safer bet than going ebay. I suppose you could always have a reserve (minimum price you'll sell the item for) set if you want to sell on ebay just to gaurantee a certain price.

You could always get them prepped and shave ready and give 'em to a newbie just starting out. SR Dave did that recently, right?

that would be a good way to part with them if one can afford to do it. not too many people do. i'm sure if a new guy is short on razors, but long on money and goodwill they can still purchase give-away razors and do it, so it's not really a matter of having many razors.

You must know someone who has a digital camera that you can borrow?

Like I said nothing fancy. Just an assortment of workhorse razors.

Thanks for the responses. There is a local seller here in town.I may have to go this way and give them their cut. Unless i go buy a new camera but that might be defeating the purpose of selling them off.

Why on earth would you sell them that way? I'd think you'd do quite a bit better by selling them in the classifieds here and keeping all the money for yourself.

Remember, the classifieds are a free service, unlike ebay or a consignment shop.

well, yeah without a camera it'll be hard to sell them yourself.
may be you have a friend with camera you can borrow.

i'd say don't sell them all - sell few, enough to buy the new razor you want, try that one and see if you want another new razor. you may end up liking the vintage better.
