Honestly, I can't see any "shame" in this auction. At the time of this post the seller is very straight forward about the state of the razor and its usefulness.

That looks like a flame motif from a hot rod :)

The seller is cracked too?

Condizione accettabile. Guardate bene le foto. = Acceptable condition. Look good photos.

:rofl2:

Me neither, until I saw the $40 asking price.

Asking this much for a cell rot buff job is shameful. Could be that greed and ignorance are the primary players but it makes it now less shameful. At least the scales are OK.

Flip it over and use the flat side. A little packing of some sort in the arch and around the ends and you're good to go.

Knife guy! I think you hit it, who else would use bars of titanium for scales. If you look at the other pics in the auction you have to wonder how he can kid himself that it has a mirror finish, it's...

Just gross.

Amazing what you can do with an angle grinder and a dremel wire brush.
Are those rivets?

You don't have to scour the internet for your classic half smiling razor such as this:

Just a reflection of the scales is my guess.

LOL Google/eBay tracking.

Amazing what can be done with an old paint brush handle, or is that just a random piece of tree branch? Olympics grade special for sure.

No shist!;)

They look like they have been in a garage for 20yrs.

It need duct tape around the handle to balance it out.:rofl2:

It's not a matter of market research, these vendors are plainly trolling for a sucker. Posting a sale on eBay is casting a wide net, once in a while they get lucky.

I guess the scales are in "OK condition"

The washers are worth a couple of bucks, maybe I should make an offer. At $500 the "import charges" are $108. Quite a racket they have going at Pitney Bowes.

They did have the decency to refer to it, at least in part, as a folding pocket knife.
