    Default Worth more in its original packaging or unwrapped?

    I'm thinking about getting rid of the middle unwrapped one pictured but am unsure if it would be better to leave it wrapped or unwrapped? I can tell it's a different color but nothing else.

    I'm just looking for honest opinions

    I guess from a "collector" point of view, it might be worth more still wrapped.

    That goes for just about anything "collectible."

    For me, I would not pay more for it just to be the one to open the plastic if I planned on using it. And I would never buy a razor just to let it sit around on a shelf somewhere, but that's just me

    If I was buying I would want to see the blade and the scales before I plunked down the hard earned greenbacks.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Very true Jimmy, I'd have to accept returns in case it wasn't in good shape. From the look of the other 2 I'd imagine it's in great shape though which is why they're in the picture

    I'm pretty sure that with most NOS blades that seem to be selling at the moment, they are unwrapped for a picture and then re-wrapped. Search for Fillies on Fee-Bay, and I'm sure you'll see how they do it.

    The one's I've seen have been in plastic, this is like a wax paper. I'll have to look a little deeper.
