$20.00 for a very clean one at an antique shop.
I'm crying lokking at some of these beauties boaught new for $2-5.00!!! I bought a user-grade Slim for $21 + shipping on eBay. Just the razor.
I have bought 2, and given one away. The first one came with a fatboy on ebay, 19 dollars shipped for both. (about 3 years ago)
The one i use now came with a case, and cost about 30 dollars. User grade with no issues.

Bought two Slims in pretty good condition for $28 + shipping off of eBay about 18 months ago. One has all the plating and the numbers are at about 50%, while the other one has most of the black on the numbers but has a little plate loss in the corners. Haven't shaved with them in a while.
I have bought 6 Slims, gave 3 of them away as Christmas presents. The prices ranged from $12 to $59 for a mint cased one with instructions. They all cleaned up great, but the one I am the most proud of is a mint 1965 gold Slim Aristocrat that I snagged for $28. A 1964 birth year example is in my permanent rotation.
Exactly. If I had a $1 for every wasted minute I'd spent in antique shop the last few months, I could probably buy most everyone a Toggle off eBay and be done with it.
$21.00 (plus $5.00 shipping) off eBay for a 1964 birth year in really nice condition. Looks like it was never used.
It's been used now!

The most I ever paid was $39 for a cased one off eBay, the least was a free one given to me by a family friend, second least was $5 at an antique store.
$55 for minty one, $80 rhodium plated, and more than $150 for NOS sealed french made slim....
$5 at a flea market. In a haul of 4 razors for $25 that I got for $20. All in very good clean condition.

2 weeks ago paid 15 shipped of the Bay. Took a chance and its pretty clean no paint in the numbers though and the head rattles a little when shaken not sure if that is common.

Well, that's a lot of lecture to read 
, thank's. I'm watching the Slim prices on eBay and I see that the Slims rarely goes for less than $30, so I'll keep on looking ...

so true, even if they consider it enjoyable, time is an opportunity cost that is quite expensive for me.
$0? you'll be paying for, and hearing about, those the rest of you married life!
were they a "bee knees" razor 3 years ago?

i think the more you wait and the more popular slims and fatboys get, the higher the price will creep. sure the razors will keep being found in the wild to make there way to ebay or BST, but i doubt the bottom is gonna fall out. put up a post in the WTB with condition and a price range..
I paid about $80 for an NOS one that came in World Series Packaging with a can of Foamy (about 2 months ago).
The princely sum of one dollar at a local flea market last summer, it's in excellent condition too!
