Thread: Opinion needed on an e-bay item

As the topic says, I'm just wondering what you guys think about this W&B.

P.S. If you wanna bid on it, don't let my interest stop you. For now I'm just curious about it and I already have a nice piece of Sheffield steel coming in. I am just trying to develop some understanding.

It looks like a very nice razor. It's clean enough to not require too much work to clean up. Spike 6/8s are nice and W&B has a good reputation. Wait until very near the end of the bidding end to bid.

The discussion is moving in the right direction... So what kind of work do you see that needs to be done, other than honing? And how can you tell?

Veeery nice. Boy, you catch on quickly

Nenad

p.s. no work whatsoever, clean, hone, shave

In that case I may make a serious bid on it, either for my own use or for a buddy I'm trying to get in on this. Yep. I'm gonna try sniping this baby if they don't go apesh*t bidding on it lol

P.S. I'll have to give my SRP mentor the credit. His expert tutelage enabled me to progress at this speed. You may know him.. His name is Nenad

Hey, you are just lucky your name is Ilija

p.s. I don't know nearly as much as some other guys here, or I own that many razors, but I'll try and help...

I'm glad we can discuss this stuff in Serbian. It will make it easier for me to teach some of my buddies and my little bro. In any case everyone's been so helpful. This place rocks.

The only thing I am not seeing his the price for shipping. Send him an email and if the shipping is reasonable ( $4 to $6USD ) then everything else looks good. A great deal would be $10 or less, an average deal would be under $20 USD.

I don't see any way you're going to snag that for under $10. Since it's in such EXCELLENT condition there will be more interest, but I'd say it's at least worth the $20 price tag, maybe more like $30-$40. Just MHO and you gotta make up your own mind on that.

X, I guess it all depends on how frugal you are. I would not argue that one might pay $30-$40 for this razor. A great brand and in great shape it will go for more than average. Getting back to my frugal standards, I would not pay more than $20 for it. Here again I am not trying to say that it is not worth $40, only that it is more than I am willing too pay for this given razor. I bought a Goldedge in this condition for $35 last January on ebay. Even the seller said it should have gone for more. This kind of sets my own personal standard and until Mr. Firestart buys some gems and a few duds then he will have a better perception on the price of each razor for him. Everyone here has their opinion and that’s what makes this place work so well.
