I saw some Weishi's on ebay for $12 a couple of weeks ago.
I see you have already been made aware that linking to live auctions ist verboten.
Buy It Now or ended auctions is ok.
But to answer the question without seeing what it is your talking about, I'd still have to say that there is a 99 percent chance that someone here is bidding on a cheap starter razor.

Yes, no live auctions. It's extra hype to an auction that could be your own.

Did not know that, anyway a silver gillette razor is up for sale for £250.00, from 1905 though may not be on the us e bay site.
The last time I checked, £250.00 isn't cheap. That is near $412.63 and I can get a plane ticket to Europe for near that price. So if a razor is that much, I'd take a trip instead.
I gotcha, cheap as in "not cheap".
The only thing that amazes me more than the wild prices some people ask for on e-bay is the wild prices some people PAY on e-bay.
Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised to see a price like that, especially if it's in really really good condition. Not too many 1905's around.

Then when you get here buy it
I think people who pay that kind of money for razors are the kind of people who don't use those razors. They seem to be more of the "that'll look good in my glass case" collector types rather than the "I wonder how that shaves" types.

I bet I know who you are referencing to on Fleebay. I've bought a lot of my Vintage Gillettes on there. But I live 8 hours away from a city over 400k+ people. I can't drive that far just to go looking at antique places and what not. Don't get me wrong...if I was in a big city, I'd be at every antique place I could find. Even check out the garbage sales as I call them.
Sure I've paid $10 to a little over $50 for my safety razors. Someone will bid at the last second so my max bid gets eaten up like a dog chew toy sometimes. But I am happy with who I buy from as most of my razors come from the same guy. Someone I am sure will say you can buy here on the BST. My reply is that I haven't been here long enough to earn that right to utilize that part of the board. I learned to pay your dues from a cigar board so no reasoning can change my idea till I feel I've earned the right to buy here.

Mr. Peat, you can buy here almost immediately. You have to be here for a certain length of time, and have made a certain number of posts before you can sell, to prevent bots and spamming. But Buy Away!

That's a noble thought Loren, but look at it this way;
You need to pay your dues here before you can sell.
Once people pay their dues and can sell, then it's up to other B&B'ers to support them and reward their dues paid by purchasing the goods that are for sale.
How's that for reasoning which would permit you to buy from BST with a clean conscience?
