What one person is willing to pay is different than another might be willing to pay. I foresee that razor selling for over $75.00, if that is your limit put in a max bid for that amount and wait, best of luck to you.
Thank you Ed for your reply I know it's hard to say but what do you think of the condition of the razor is 75 bucks a good deal?
I don't want to sound like the forum police, but if I don't say it a forum police member will be by shortly, to say that valuations are not done at SRP.
With that said only you can make that call on the price and perceived value of that razor. On another note it is not the wisest thing to post a link to a live auction in a forum full of RAD infected members.
Oh really didn't know that thanks for letting me know yea I was worried about that but figured if its meant to be ill get if not no big deal ill get at it by ear thanks again ed
No problem. I set my max on one last week for $75 I got pissed when I was out bid by $1, so $100 was my limit I locked it in and waited I ended up wining the auction at $98. If it is meant to be it will all work out good luck!Quote:

I'm not sure what's up with that stain I do know carbon steel will oxide and rust if not maintained and dry I would hate to have to erase and lose that awesome stamp too
Yes, my name is Friday and I carry a badge.
No problem with very general discussions of a prospective razor being a good deal or not but when you start talking dollars and sense you are getting on thin ice.
Hahaha no problem officer!
So what jes007 did you win that razor? It went for $75 even.
Nope 75 was my max too bad I think someone got a sweet razor at a great price
To be honest, that's high for me. Which is why valuations are prohibited on this site, they vary as much as opinions.
Now, my opinion, is unless a razor really calls to me, I wont pay over 40 for it. That's considering the work involved in cleaning it up, repairing it, and honing it. Exceptions are made for certain high end razors of course, but I consider that one pretty run of the mill. Any razor that needs sandpaper and buffing cuts that figure in half or more.
I might sound cheap, but when you consider putting 20 hours or more into a restoration, you have to have a margin for profit in the event you decide to sell it.
Ok well that actually makes me feel better after losing the auction I am set on finding a vintage boker razor thou I've searched the classifieds here no luck so far
