I don't see any cracks, but what I DO see is a Halsted razor being advertised as a Wade & Butcher.

Awwww, cmon guys, stop it. You'll turn my head. ( I was going to insert a blush smiley here, but it appears SRP is too manly to have one!)

Glad you like it Chopper, and you take much better photos than me. Hows it shave for you? :beer1:

In this particular case, I had no clue what a fair asking price would be, since there have been no similar examples by which to judge. So I opted to let the market sort it out. If the classifieds...

Pleased to report the Filly has gone to a forum member. That always makes me happy. :beer1:

Hope you really enjoy it Chopper!

This is sort of my whole point. You cant call it an auction, if the starting prices are already above market levels. A new shaver comes along, and sees nothing but 1200 dollar razors, they...

I would rather a guy said to me "This is just not for me" and send me back the razor for a refund, than have him screw up the edge, and send it back saying "It came this way"
Im always willing...

All too true Chopper! Look for the thread "Ebay 101" the first few pages are very informative.

Myself, I always worry about 0 bidders. Always a big risk that they wont pay up. Wouldn't be the first time a person used a shill to sabatoge an auction to make sure an item THEY were selling...

Its only natural. Last year he was the only vendor on the bay with any significant stock. Now he has a half dozen other sellers to compete with. If you check them all out (yes, I have!) you...

Looking beautiful is easy, its the damned casting couch that's a real pain in the ass. :dropjaw:

I'm ready for my close up Mr. Demille!

To me, "driving up the market" is when the supply is controlled so as to force up demand. To a certain extent, we all do that. Hell, in a way I am doing it right now. I see it all the time...

Tom, the only "flaw" I see on my Filli is that the gold etching has been rubbed away. Of course, for some people that is a deal breaker!
Pixel, I DO post in the classifieds but I prefer...

Gee Tom, I wish I had known. I would have given you first crack.

There are a couple of 17s on the bay right now, but none of them nice enough for you (I know you don't settle for less than...

I don't think its anything changed over there as much as they came to the realization that "Hey, stupid americans are willing to give us lots of their money for these old tools that we no longer use...

Was not picking on "Nippon" in particular, but as far as "couidnt be happier" goes, It would sure make me happy if you would give me some of the excess cash you obviously must have laying...

It will be interesting to see what the actual price point is. Its been a long while since a decent DT14 has been in a straight auction.
This one came in a lot that I bought a while back. 36...

And if you look around, you will find that many of the recent imported blades are already finding their way back into the sales stream as people discover they were not as nice as they had expected

Yea, I have seen all the razors from Japan. But the great majority of them are either pitted, or have uneven wear (usually heavy toe wear) sometimes both. And the ones in better condition? ...

I have gotten tired of seeing people (including myself) putting up razors for prices out of this world.

So, I'm going to try and put up at least one nice razor each week for a .99 cent start....
