HUGE LOT 40+ safety razors - eBay (item 380124394016 end time May-21-09 18:13:09 PDT)
OMG!!! :eek:
That "sucker" isn't going to be me.
What's the problem? Sure, it's mostly plastic disposables, but there are a few others in there. The thing that's going to suck is the shipping, because you're going to need a big box to put all the junk in.
That is why you should never mix alcahole, drugs and ebay. Someone will wake up in the morning and decide to look at what they thought was the beautiful razor they bid on during last night's alcahole fueled mayham.
Is that a Schick Injector Type L that I see on the right?

Sorry didn't understand the complain....
Hehe, reminds me of this lot I saw the other day as I was browsing through ebay.

I don't understand your complaint, either. The seller is Phillip Krumholz, who wrote "the bible" of safety razor collecting. In his book, he devotes an entire chapter to disposable razors. That pile has lots of interesting stuff in it, and the auction starts cheap enough. The L-type injector alone is worth the price of admission. Not my cup of tea, but a legitimate auction, nevertheless. I notice he has some straights up for sale as well. I've bought from him before, and have no complaints.
Add another one for, "and your point is......"
I've bought a straight from that seller before. His ad is very accurate and honest, and starts at $1.99
As a couple of people have pointed out, there are a couple of items in there that are worth more than $1.99
Granted, boxing up one or two semi-valuable items with a pile of obvious trash is a pretty lame gimmick to get a buyers' attention, but it's an honest add.
Also, I can just about guarantee you that somewhere out there, there is some nut-job collector who will drool over a collection of old disposables. I've yet to see anything that wasn't collected by somebody.
There are people on ebay who sell unopened fortune cookies, and empty soda cans. As long as the ad doesn't mislead, I don't see any problem.
I take back everything I just said.
I have bought from him in the past, and I have kept an eye on his auctions because he frequently has good razors, but I just checked his other listings and he's now also selling this: CUT THROAT antique Chinese meatchopper straight razor - eBay (item 380124387008 end time May-21-09 17:23:19 PDT)
I wouldn't be surprised if his accounts got hacked or something. This is NOT the sort of thing he usually sells.
Steve, in the auction he specifies that he is selling for an estate.Quote:

Now, if he put that lot of safety razors up and tried to claim they were all highly collectible and valuable, and started with some ridiculous starting bid, it would be a different story, but that's not the case.
He's got a big pile of crap with a couple of possible gems included, and he's put up an ad that accurately reflect this.
If you take the time to really look closely, there are some real potential keepers in there- note some non-disposable DE's, and some VERY old cartrige razors- some of which look like they could be old, heavy 1 or 2 blade models which, in my estimation, would be a hard-to-find but far superior fast replacement for a Mach 3 or Fusion on those days when you need to look good in a hurry.
