Thread: E-Bay Took My Mojo

I would generally expect something repaired to be cheaper than something original, if everyone reads thr description, and knows what it should be worth. Ultimately anything is "worth" what someone will pay for it.

"And 10Pups, be warned, at the next possible chance, I'm going to use that smiley...awesome!!"

I just did to see if it still works... Dang it does. New Goldedge on it's way and well under my usual big guns ammo. Pffff even comes with a strop this time. Sorry if you were looking at that 1 anybody, but it was 7/8 and I didn't have 1 of those.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but once the scales have been replaced, doesn't it lose it value?"

Not really, in my opinion, maybe in someone else's. Each razor is different and what it's worth is up to who ever wants it.
I think this one is from one of our friends in here. And this is the way it works for me. I can't afford that much now so it's there tempting me.
It looks like a great restore job :<0)

Congrats on the DD....would love to see a pic of the blade and strop....

Ahhh, snipers...the only real way to beat 'em is to join 'em. Those programs don't submit their bids until typically 5-10 seconds before bidding ends. Give the live bid no time to respond. Been burned more times than I can count by them.

If you want something, wait until less than 30 seconds and bid what it is worth to you, not a bargain price, but what you are willing to pay. You also need to be willing to lose something if the price goes nuts. When people bid throughout the process the price goes way up, so don't add gas to the fire.

Also look to see if the item can be returned if unsatisfactory because the pictures are all you have and they can't tell the whole story.

Well since you're asking, I'd love so see some faux ivory scales on it, would probably be a nice contrast to the inlays. Love to see a pic, then I'll send you my address so you can forward it to me for testing. '-)
