Can I sell a Gold Dollar 208? Noob

So, I hope I'm posting this in the correct place and that it's not too silly of a question but..
I'm extremely new to straight razor shaving, my first razor was a gold dollar 208 that I got less than a month ago. It was brand new and had been professionally honed after a fresh bevel set.. so, Shave ready.
I've enjoyed it but was told in the long run (if I decided wet shaving with a straight was for me)
That I would eventually want to invest a little more into a better or possibly different style straight.
Sure enough I've caught the RAD that's been going around. Ijust got a wonderful deal on two beautiful vintage razors in excellent condition Shane ready, from a fellow srp member. However, I'm a new father and we just bight or first house so money is tight.
With the two new razors I can't really justify keeping the GD 208, but it's brand new in perfect condition with about 25 shaves on it..
Long story to ask... is it worth putting up on Srp to sell? Any feedback is always welcome and if I may take just a second to thank the entire SRP community, you guys have made my transition into SR shaving a breeze!

No. You cannot sell anything on the open forum.
Most especially that.

Sorry if I must bear bad news. It's what I do......Sometimes! ;)

Tom is correct, however, you can sell it in the Buy-Sell-Trade, razors and blades section.

General buying, selling and trading can be done in the Buy / Sell / Trade forum, and only in that area. Everyone is allowed to post an item for trade. Everyone is allowed to purchase items for sale. Only people who have a classifieds selling membership are allowed (able) to post items for sale.
Classifieds selling membership costs 10$ per year.

My apologies, I understand that selling in the open forum is not permitted. The reason for my question is more regarding the razor itself. Again I apologize for any misunderstanding

IE, the comment "Most especially that"...

Yeah. No getting your money back with the cost/shipping and ten dollars to sell on the BST.
Move on and add it to the wind-chime pile!

That is another issue. It will cost you $10.00 to gain the selling permissions, though it is good for a year. I don't know what a used GD might bring, or a new one for that matter ?

The GD 208 even shave ready only ran around 35$ count shipping and the sellers fee and it's not worth selling. It's a fine razor. I'll start a rotation I guess.
Thank you guys for your time and assistance.

If you ever take up honing, you've got a blade to play with. Until then, you can use it when you travel.

you would be in the hole about 25$ so keep it ,, makes a fair letter opener Tc

If it shaves, keep it. Some of those are good and some aren't. I've got a good one and use it often and they are also good as test razors. They are what they are

Some day you may find some crazy friend that thinks he might like to try SR shaving. Give it to him. If you try to sell it your going to loose money. Not a lot, but by the time you list it and have dropped the price to the point someone is willing to pay for a GD, you will be selling it for less than the shipping costs.

My first razor was a GD800 (the most expensive one of the bunch) that was professionally honed. Then when I wanted to learn how to hone, I purchased a few others others and used them as practice razors. They are now all shave ready and can give a decent shave.

I am going out of town next week and plan to take a couple of Gold Dollars with me for shaving. I do not want to risk losing or damaging one of my better razors during the trip.

Every time I purchase a new hone, I pull out out of the Gold Dollars and test the hone until I have a feel for its abilities. Of course, after testing a new hone, I do shave with the Gold Dollar to see if the hone helped or hurt the edge. Only after the hone has proven itself capable will I try it on one of my more expensive razors.

If I find someone who is interested in straight razor shaving, I will gladly give them one of my Gold Dollars to get them started.
