Question on value of a razor

[Nicktheswede]

I recently got my hands on a British TV Superspeed. I've been trying to find a value for the razor since its always fun to know everything about a razor you have. I tried searching quite a bit I only found one for sale add in the BST and nothing on eBay. The one BST add seemed to have it for sale from about ~80.

What do you guys think or know the value of the razor is?

Can you take a pic of the razor?

If it is the one I am thinking of.....the British TV Special SS (The Rocket variety) is Rhodium plated so its value is worth quite a bit if it is in "Pristine" condition with the case.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but what's the value of any British rocket - like a flare tip or an HD - in, say, above average condition? I've seen old prices from a couple years ago at $70 and newer ones from this year at around $50. Is there a going rate for these rockets in general? (Hopefully this ties in w/ Nick's original question about his rocket.) Ah...capitalist concerns.

Depends on what Rocket.....

Rocket HD - $50 - $85 ($100^ with case)
Rocket LD - same as above
Rocket Flair Tip - $30 - $50

Then you have the Red Tip & Blue Tip....I have only seen one Red Tip Rocket that was on the Bay.

There is more Rockets out there but this is just the majority of what is common. The less common ones go for a lot higher prices.

Anybody correct me if I am wrong but that is the general price range.

Thanks Brian. That helps. Sometimes it's nice to have a sense of value, although ultimately the value's what it's worth to you.

This is my cased British TV, I've no idea of its value as I picked it up for pennies at a car boot sale.
They do appear on eBay often but most are just passed off as plain rockets as the different handle is hard to spot on some of the high quality eBay pics

Not a bad shaver but mines get little use since I got my HD.

Great looking razor! The Brit TV Rockets are Rhodium plated, if you didnt know.

Finding the prices of the Brit Rockets is difficult.
I've recently obtained a gold rocket. All my research has only shown that they are considered rare. No prices, not even an indication of what they might cost.

I wouldn't sell it, I love rockets, but I do want to know.
