Well you know what they say about a noob and his money...
That seller does sell some very replated beautiful razors.
Yet I still feel bad for the guy who bought this.
It seems that my Fatboy is outperforming my 401K.

Toggle went for $418 last week...Ebay is way out of control and inflating the value of these razors!
WOW, check out the bid history, 6 different bidders in the last hour took it from $140 to the sale price.
Every time I see something like this, I think of how many razors my dad had in the late 50s and early 60s.

That's ok. I'm watching my net worth go up, for a change. 
Yes, these prices are excessive.

I noticed the bidders tend to be fairly new... sometimes I wonder if they are using a shill to drive up perceived prices. That razor may "go" for $251, but it helps others charge $50 ("what a bargain!")
yeah, i have noticed this seller gets CRAZY prices for all his razors. what gives?
I think a big part of it is the photography involved. The guy must have been a catalog photographer or something.
For one thing, all his razors are beautiful.
I don't know whether he just gets really clean examples or whether he has them replated, but they all look amazing.
And he still had to pay for shipping?
It is Shave-Ready, though. I guess the buyer doesn't need to buy a hone or strop.

I am curious if these are really NOS (as he claims) or replated....my instinct says replated. Where else can he come across so many flawless 40 and 50 year old razors?
You guys would be surprised how much NOS stock is sitting in peoples basements and attics just waiting to see the light of day. Whenever an old store closed down and the small business inventory was just taken by family and sits waiting for the right time?
Check out the very last razor on their list. A straight with an etching of a lion in gold on the blade. That thing is beautiful. I'd almost buy that just to look at.
