WOW! 20's-30's Gold Adjustable!?

Only $200!!!

ANTIQUE ADJUST GILLETTE GOLD TONE RAZOR BLADE HOLDER

This one is way too funny. I guess I can sell my near mint one for at least $500 then, right?

:happy102

Newbies. Avoid this like the plague.

 

I just noticed the seller is sunart. I wonder if he is any relation to reynoldsart?

 

only $18 shipping too! I submitted an offer for $5.

 

Be careful, Rodd. He might accept it. That's a pretty rough looking Aristocrat. $23 shipped may be over paying. Although, if it is just soap scum covering the number paint then it might be a decent deal.

 

offer declined. :happy102

 

There was (is) an equally stupid listing for a President from a seller in Argentina who had it listed on a "Buy It Now" for $99.99, and when it didn't sell, relisted it for $149.99. Better get on it before the price jumps to $200 on the next relist. :happy102

 

He's holding out for $7.99 I guess.

 

I, seriously, almost bid on that one! $109.00 shipped for a cased President wasn't a bad deal at all, $159.00 still ain't outrageous.

 

Gotta cover the listing fees somehow. :happy102 I agree with Chris, still not a bad price.

 

Maybe not, but it's a little weird to raise your price when something doesn't sell.

 

There was some irony in that the seller who has the President from Argentina had three razors listed that ended about the same time and the one I bid on and really wanted I was sniped :mad:, but the President went untouched. WTH?

 

I think it's brilliant. Get it now before it goes up some more!

 

Not so weird. He's just targeting a different market. If you study business, a lot of products fail to sell if underpriced. Think about it: 4711 would probably be a lot more popular if they hyped up its history even more and sold it for $75 a bottle.

 

One part of the seller's description of the Gold Tone Razor in the OP is spot on:

:happy102

 

Alrighty, then! I have a couple of long-handled Super Adjustables languishing in the classifieds at $18 and $20 respectively, I am going right now to bump them up to $50 each. :happy102

 

So did I... But I didn't like the look of the case... I'll wait for my "perfect" President, I'd rather pay $200 for something I agree with

 

+1 That case is nasty! :sick007

 

I'll keep an eye out for you mastermute.

 

Forget $50 Rick. Put them on Ebay for $150. If you can craft the item description good enough, it will sell.

There a sucker born every minute.
