Thread: 7th National Shaving Collectibles Meeting

Which brings the question of how the prices are. I only ask because summer quarter is almost over and that's a long way to travel for something, although I have been wanting to go on a long trip.

Honestly! I think were raising the prices of some of the stuff on ebay. Such as The Fili's, Palmera, DD's. We comment on how wonderful the razor is and how it shaves then others, including myself, go looking for that razor.

As with any type of meeting or show where items are for sale, you will have some prices that are extremely reasonable and others that are very, very high. My experience at the last 6 meetings is that, if you look carefully, you will find some exceptional bargains. Also, most of the attendees are interested in the older razors and therefore usually sell the vintage razors they have at quite reasonable prices.
