NOS Old Spice Soap and Mug How much is it worth?

[JamieW]

I ran across a boxed, brand new Old Spice mug and soap set at my local antique shop today for $8.00. Is that a fair deal? It's been there for a few weeks so I thought I'd ask here before picking it up. I'm a total newbie, with my only experience being VDH and Col Conks, both really cheap soaps.

As for the mug, it has the cool old school "I'm on a boat, the man your man could smell like" vibe, but I kinda like my "Black Dog" mug, so it would really only be for the unused soap puck.

They also had what looked to be a mint cased tiny little Gem single edge for $20.

I'd say that you practically stole it. Old spice soap can go for quite a few dollars on the 'bay, and old spice mugs rule.

 

[bythbook]

buy it!

these go for substantially more on ebay - and old OS gives a marvelous shave. And, of course, every shave den needs an OS mug, preferably with the OS soap.

 

[DSB]

Get it! That's an excellent price.

Hmmm, getting phone book, looking for dealers in Grafton, calling wife to tell her I'll be late tonight ..........

Seriously, These go for $30 on Ebay, lately even more as too many B&B'ers are in bidding wars on them. It sounds like this set is in nice shape too. Buy it and use it; the Old Spice soap performance is legendary. Tell us if the soap still has scent.

$25-$40 is about the norm on E-Bay, but sometimes a few of them fly underneath the radar.

On my way out to pick it up now...if someone hasn't beat me to it now that I outed it . Now I have to decide it I want to shave with it or profit from it. Since I started this DE business, I've probably spent about $40...this could come close to breaking me even. 'Course, I've never been know to be that practical.

Ha, you still have a phone book? Forget the Old Spice, THAT is old school

I do not own an iPhone. I do not Twit. I'm not Old School - I'm a dinosaur!

 

[JamieW]

Ha ha. I don't twit either, but my iphone is my mistress!

So I went back for the soap, and the lady asked, "Did you see the razors?" Thinking she meant the Gems I'd seen earlier, I indicated that I wasn't interested. "No", she said, "Those" and pointed to the countertop where she'd been pricing new stuff. There were two old gilettes and another old single edge. "5 bucks each" she said. So i have a new old gilette with a ball end handle and a thick combed head. Not sure what it is, but is is gold and very shiny. I'll post pics later.

I sold a NOS soap for $30 a couple months ago. They seem to go $25-40 depending on the stars alignment. The mug adds another $5-10.

Shave with it.

Even partially used pucks still bring good coin. You could use it for a week or two, and still sell it you are not 100% in love with it.

 

[Schwert]

I think you should shave with it....I seriously doubt you would consider selling after a shave or two...Superior soap....and that is a bargain.

 

[formyface]

use it, shaving gear like toys, gets sad if not let out of the box to play IMHO

+3, especially if it still has scent. It used to be in half of America's medicine cabinets (with Williams in the other half). It should be in yours, too.
