Thread: Ebay auction question

I won't pretend to be able to predict events on e-bay but this DD may not fetch top dollar. Some strikes against it are:

Poor photographs. (can't see if the little swirls are on the tang or have been cleaned off with the rust.)

No technical description.

Seller has less than stellar feedback.

Seller does not seem to be a razor guy.

Which all means this could wind up being an unnoticed bargin or a high priced disappointment.

It's a spin of the wheel

Good luck,
LG Roy

JL,

Hope you get it. As for me, I definately would not get
in a bidding war knowly with a member of this forum.
In fact the second that you mentioned the razor
I ruled it out. Of course I have yet to bid on an ebay
razor. Quite honestly though I love the things, they
aren't worth that much. If you ever see me as a bidder
though - bid away - I will back off and save some money.
Best of luck, unless as of this posting you have already
been outbided.

Oh I would never bid against another SRP member. I am not big into ebay and never have been...I was just bored and stumbled on this one.

JL,
I just read your thread, and noticed my Wifey put the current bid on that knowing I wanted a Wonderedge "Duckie" as she calls them. If I'd have read your post sooner I would have had her waited for the next one to come around. She's trying to spoil me and get all the razors for me to work with when this OIF deployment's done. Also after reading some of the predictions, I don't even want her THINKING about paying $220-300 for this razor. Again, my apologies, but I didn't know.

You're the only one. I've been sniped 3-4 times.

I wouldn't do it to an SRP member, but I wouldn't be surprised if some lurker did it. Bidding went crazy on one WB right after I started talking about it here. On a good note, my TW just arrived, and it's in excellent shape. Virtually no hone wear, and the two dents are BARELY detectable by naked eye. They'll be honed out tonight.

I better run to the store and get some bleach to disinfect it

Hey, glad to hear you got that razor, and it is in nice condition... Have fun using it...

Wow, it went for $56.27 more than I predicted. Don't be discouraged, there will be other wonderedges.

I think I was overly optimistic.. Looks like it will take me a couple of nights, but I don't wanna rush it, especially since I got sick again and just started a stretch of 8/9 working days.

Thats ok, I guess they wanted it more than I did.
