Hope they like there Darwin, at that price you would have to hold on to it for a while ti break een in price with it, or let alone make a profit, i hope the buyer didnt do it for the shave /

Dont worry alex one day you will find one at a decent price, this sounds to me like a Darwin Collector wanted it bad.

It's beautiful!

Yes, it's expensive, but imagine how quickly we blow through that kind on money on things that don't last, like dinners out, Starbuck's car washes, etc. (Can you tell I'm rationalizing here? ;-) )

Look at it like this...it only costs 22 cents a day to shave with it for 8 years; then you have a Darwin for the remainder of your, and your heirs' life, for free. Sounds like a deal to me.

You just need to stalk your pray better. This one went for $65 recently.

WOW - even had Darwin in the name but slipped though.

Actually, no bid history - was a BIN I think. Somebody got a bargain!

That is exactly why i dont go to StarBucks "make my own coffee" Or a car wash "wash my own car" Or expensive dinners "Make my own meals" ) That is why i have a nice collection, Make a few sacrafices and save for the next razor in my collection 80% Gillette's and rest Gem and Ever Ready SE's and a few German made ones as well. Darwin's dont draw my attention as much as the above mentioned in my collection.

That's a record steal.

Eye of the tiger Alex, it proves they're still out there.

Chongo, what? Do you think its a record for the 60 dollar Darwin or 600 Darwin?

 

[chongo gordo]

Both.

BTW, I think ebay has a notification feature attached to the saved searches option. You'd get an email every time a Darwin made an appearance.

I am new to this forum, and to the notion of razor collecting, but to my untrained eye it looks like a piece of sculpture, or an architectural column. Beautiful.

coo, didnt know that...but im not interested in a Darwin any longer. They are regular razors in terms of shaving, but not collecting.

 

[chongo gordo]

Cobalt steel too. It's not a razor for me, but it's impossible not to appreciate as something special.

That's a good feature for ebay, Drives the price up even more, and makes Ebay more money / Not good for collectors or DE lovers thats for sure.

Ebay is always looking for ways to make more money.....We are too. I just sold 2 cars in 4 weeks for a profit of $1200 bucks . Love my new venture. I cant make that kind of profit in any Cd investment from my bank.
