what's the most you would pay for this dubl duck pearl duck

Now first and foremost I remember there being some kind of rule about not talking about what you paid for a razor because if someone tells you ur getting ripped it will upset the buyer and the vendor. Which I understand can cause issues because there are vendors on here... At least that's my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong.

this is my situation, I have a neighbor that overheard I loved straight razors and sent me pictures of this razor. Me being a noob and just haven't had the chance to shave with one of these razors before plus the condition it is in looks great! he said to make an offer that is fair since he had been out of the straight razor game and doesn't know the value anymore... There is a small piece of me that says get this razor for as cheap as possible and just rip him off but that just isn't in my morals to do that.

i decided to be honest and tell him the real value of this razor and let him come up with a price himself. I would go on eBay and get the value based on what people were selling them for but I think that eBay isn't a good place for that because people fudge the prices to get uneducated people into paying more... So I thought I would try and get the value here so it's an unbiased opinion.

lastly of course is this is completely against the rules even after explaining what's going on please let me know and I'll delete or ask for this to be deleted...

as as always thanks guys

Can't talk money, site rule

I don't see where to delete this post

You don't have to delete it.

As a matter of fact we like this because it reinforces in folks not to talk valuation.

Just check out our classifieds and Eboy to get an idea what it's worth for similar pieces.

So you mean I'm going to be used as example!!! Lol jk

Do u trust eBay as a reliable way to find value... I would if it was an auction but I haven't been watching dunl ducks and what they have been selling for

Don't feel bad the last guy wound up in the the ring with an angry pit bull.

There are enough for sale on Eboy to get a good idea or at least a starting off point.

Just go to the sold listings for the dd you are interested in. Might be enough there to give you a ballpark figure.

Yeah, if you do a search for an item it will bring up current items. On the left side of the page scroll down until you get to 'completed listings'. Click on that.

You'll possibly see what the equivalent item actually sold for ...... or didn't sell for. The sold price totals are in green next to the listing. Don't go by what people are asking. They may, or may not represent a 'good' price.

And be sure to compare a duck to a duck. Goldedge to goldedge. round nose to round, worn blade to worn blade. Mint NOS is not the same thing as a used blade with hone wear!

That's in great shape . I would value that at around XXX.xx not including tax and license, dealer prep, and shipping fees.
Don't polish off the gold on the tang when you get it. It's very easy to do. Some guys will clear coat the gold to save it but I have never had any luck clear coating metal anything to keep it shiny. Hope the deal works out for you.

Excellent point - used a bit of Tuf-Glide on the pivot area of a Dovo Bismarck, gave it a wipe with tissue when I went to use it - no more gold wash in that area...that easy and it's gone.:(

Thanks to you and phrank my for the suggestions! Xxx.xx sounds like exactly what I was thinking on value lol... Turf-glide all over the gold plating just in case u hit the area with the buffing wheel?

Good looking Duck, just buy it lol

No Tuf-Glide - that will remove the gold wash pronto.

My post said I used a bit of Tuf-Glide on the gold wash on the pivot area of a Dovo Bismarck, it removed the gold wash almost immediately with one wipe of tissue.

Value is very subjective, and dependent on what the buyer is willing to pay, after all it is only his opinion that counts.

A quick look at the EBay sold listings, reflects why we avoid the quoting of value, they are all over the map. And then add condition, poor photos and cell rot, a very common condition with Ducks and prices vary even more.

Personally, I stay away from Ducks because of cell rot, so for me, value is very low. There are other brands that I collect that others may not value at all.

Personally, I stay away from Dubl Ducks because they usually go for much more than I think they're worth on account of them being incredibly common and, indeed, also because of those dodgy scales.
