Pity mine's not adjustable, still pretty though.

I have two. They are not that rare and in reality are too light...

I can't remember a time when this old friend was not for sale. The seller just keeps re-listing it over and over and over again.

If he drops the price by 90%, he might find a buyer.
He listed it 3 times in the month of June alone. Although I think he might have given up.

Hi could have cleaned and polished the razor for that time, while waiting for a sale.

Do you remember the fellow with the "ultra rare prototype 1956 Toggle"? Usually listed for about $3500. Lost track last winter.

I love the description "small amount of patina"

Interesting handle, eliminates the need for a razor stand (BIN, btw)

Wow! Was that made from a lamp?

That handle would even make a good emergency hammer!

 

[tonich]

The best price on a #15 I can recall.
The seller could have got a few more Euros for it through Paypal.

If nothing else, that guy gets top marks for persistence. That junky razor has been for sale for way more than 12 months. Aren't there listing fees if you relist the same product every week for a year (or two)?

I'm sure the Cap would make it shinny again ...

My first thought was that the buyer got a very nice deal.
Then I realized there was no razor inside that broken case ...

 

[782sirbrian]

That's a lot of $ for an empty case, I know it's an uncommon one but

Yeah, its a lot of money, but if I had a Bottom Dial 195 already, I probably would have gone into the four-figure range to get the case.

And I bet a lot of the losing bidders are kicking themselves that they didn't reach higher for it.

NOOO!!! Without the blades and instructions, it is still just a broken box - an incomplete set! I confess: I don't understand collecting (sigh).

 

[GlennConti]

Full disclosure: I need (want) a Bottom Dial case. If this one would have been in better condition, I would have gone to the mat for it. But broken hinges is a deal breaker.

 

[ks6c]

I was thinking about bidding on it, too - but then I decided I should probably buy the razor, first...

 

[Blade4vor]

I wasn't a player for this one as I'm in Restraint, but I thought it went for a fairly low price even with the finish being sub-par:

Another head scratcher for me. I have an Aristocrat Adjustable in need of a case, but this seemed a little high to me:

A big load of Spoilers - 650 total. Don't get to see these many often at all.
