Absurd pricing in the wild. Any stories?

Good one Radar!

Good one Radar!

You think I'm kidding, but I have turned down 4.00 shipping on something costing $100.00 because it was on a list of things "not available" with free shipping. Finally got on the phone with someone and talked them down to free shipping and bough it. I love my Taun-taun sleeping bag.

Don't hold your breath. It has been there for more than a year.

He knows what he's doing. Have you seen one cheaper? Actually have you seen another one at all? Ever? I haven't in the past year.

Not even listed by the Cedar people (who always find minty, cased Gillette products)?

I never noticed the squared off areas. That's snazzy.

The two that were sold last week were re-sold for $150 and $125. I think they both lasted about a day bin.

Ah the poor demented souls who must lust after a cased Gillette Executive (with mirror), the only US made Rhodium plated razor!


(Methinks he doth protest too much!)

 

[Ignatius]

Worst I've seen is a tech, really bad condition; dented, dirty, no plating, price: £20. Having said that, £10 for a tech in any condition is standard here, so its not THAT bad. As mentioned above, the antique dealers search ebay and now set their prices at the optimistic end.
