Questions on a W&B/Dubl local find

[Sixxtwo]

Hello straight razor guys!

I am a DE guy mainly, but I have familiarized my self enough w/ the better
brands of SE razors just in case I want to try one. Well, I came across a pair
today and have come to ask what you guys think of the pricing.

One was a 6/8 Wade and Butcher with the nose-tip notch, and what looked
like black wooden scales. It was quite rough in looks (surface flaws) but the
blade edge was good. That one was marked $75 which I thought was a bit
high for its poor/fair condition.

The 2nd one is the one I am really interested in, $85 marked.
Dubl Duck Satin Edge w/ clear acryilic scales with brass inserts.
I would say good/excellent condition.

The owner tried to pull $60 outta me for some trashed Techs and a Superspeed...
Plus, I have seen the Dubl Specials and Satins flux alot on the Bay anywhere from $15 to $150...
So, I figured I'd come ask the good guys on the pricing.

Thanks all

I just purchased a Dubl Duck Satidege on from a member here. I paid about $110 for it. I have seen other DD go for this or better. I would say grab it, especially if it is in good/excellent condition. I will buy it from you for $95

if the W&B is a bit rough, then I would pass at that price - if the duck is in good/excellent condition then 85 is a very nice price

Need pictures, honestly. A little duck can look a lot better than a big W&B to an untrained eye and yet be in worse shape if it's got bad hone wear.

Yup, I didnt have a cam w/ me. Also, it was 5pm and they were closing as well.... I'll go give it another look tomorrow, and take a cam.
