Thanked: 315Current Market for Razors (been out of it a while)
Hey guys. Hope you are all doing well.
Haven't posted in a long time and my restoration projects are on hold. Got a different job, got a baby, and life happens!
Basically, I was wondering if market is slower for razors than it was a few years ago. I've looked at some auctions lately and razors I thought would have brought $30+ went for $7 or didn't even get bid on. Maybe I'm way off base and completely wrong. Seems like some of the popular names and the +1" blades still bring quite a bit.
Local guy on another forum wanted help appraising a bunch of razors he bought from an estate sale I tried to help him out since he didn't know anything about them. Helped him sort most of them out (originally 100+) but need to go back and go into more detail with him. Looking at auctions right now though some of them may not be worth as much as I originally thought.
Got a couple dozen "keepers" that are in a nice shape. Think the largest was 7/8 or 6/8.
He gave me a display case of razors that got exposed to moisture or 1+ of them has celluloid rot. If I get on my computer and figure out my old image hosting accounts I'll post them in another thread. Looks like a few of them are salvageable or at least have nice scales.
Thanks everyone!
