Fair price for a BlueTip

[highball]

I was wondering what a fair price for this B-4 (1956) BlueTip Razor would be.
I can find nothing wrong with it, looks like it was never used. The Blue Blade was in the Razor when I found it .
Thanks for the help

If a blade was in the razor, it was probably used at least once. There should be a blade dispenser in the case if it were new, too. For an excellent condition blue tip and a matching case in very good to excellent condition, I would pay $25 to 30 (assuming it is truly not NOS). Others might pay a bit higher, but I don't use a blue tip in my daily rotation, my preference being a Red Tip.

Hope this helps, treat this as a very general approximation and just one persons opinion!

For one that nice- BST $30-$40

Ebay - I'd wouldn't be surprised to see it go from less than $20 shipped to more than $60 shipped depending on the herd mentality at the moment.

Keep in mind, my opinion is worth what I charge for it.

Most people don't want anything more mild than the standard SS. For that reason I would say $30.00. If it was a red tip in that condition that price could be doubled or tripled. It may be good for people that like the mild razor/sharp blade combo. Many have said that they like the tech with a feather blade. Maybe this razor could be a good alternative to try to achieve that similliar combination with a TTO.

I must respectfully differ. The prices quoted are low. That razor is in superb near mint condition. The Blue Tip is a critical piece of Super Speed history. True its demand may not be as great as the Red Tip. No matter. While the original blades and instruction booklet is missing, that is a very shiny aluminum handle (they do NOT stay shiny for long and that luster never comes back once gone) and there is gobs of Blue paint on the tip. Apparently 100&#37; intact. Fair price - $65-$80.
