Why not use the minimum bid to convey a starting point instead of a reserve that is unknown. If a person actively bids, it is ebay in part that controls how fast the price rises. Often, your max bid is much higher than the previous bid. However, you get the note that it doesn't meet the reserve price because ebay only increases $1.00 for bids above $25.00.
Some Ebay prices getting out of hand.

Thanks, rickw, your suggestion is useful for lower priced items, but for the high $ ones, it really works best with a reserve. When you bid on an item like that, you can always bid up and once it meets the reserve, that is the actual bid.
A lot of times people use the reserve price to protect their interest in the item, and yet also allow them to find out what people are willing to pay for it. If you put a minimum bid on it and get zero bids, you know you priced it too high, but not the exact amount.
I can't bid it up by myself. For illustration, if the minimum bid is $10 and the reserve is $50; first bidder, second bidder, third bidder, you might be at $35. Let's say that mine is the bid that shows as $35 but my max is $60. Only if somebody bids against that $35 is there a possible chance of clearing the reserve price.
Hello Everyone,
I sold some razors for the past year or so and I dont think the prices are going up. Sometimes a model becomes hot and prices are going up for a while but in general theyll stay in the same range. High, insane, absurd or ridiculous Ebay prices is a recurring theme on this forum and on SMF. However, as long as for most people would shave with Slim or Fat-Boy rather than a Vision or Future, I doubt prices will change very much.
Also, should I remind everyone how much a Fusion refill costs?
What we need is a new, well-made and affordable (25-45$) adjustable shaving razor. Im amazed that Parker hasnt come with a model yet.
Regards,
Alfred

For the price he is asking he has not even made the effort to clean the :9898:.
I've never seen a 1920's - 1930's Fat Boy!
First for me too Jay!

Must be a rare prototype.
Yes, a Bulgarian prototype.
That explains everything. I never got into the Bulgarian versions.
On two opposite sides of the spectrum,
Here's an insanely bid-up fatboy. Someone please enlighten me.
And an insanely cheap British Aristocrat.
Both of those just elude me.

1930's US Aristocrat. Still very cheap.
My bad. I didn't know that any US model had that handle design. Still though, great find.
