Something just doesn't add up here. What say ye ?

Step right up and and hit the BIN for........

"8 Vintage/Antique Shazers and vintage box of razors! Collectors lot! $400 VALUE! "
Ah, but there is (9) NINE razors and not eight. ( um, "shazers" )

" We came up with a total value of 400 to 425 dollars for this lot in same condition "USED."

Scratching my head,
If counting up to 9 is a problem, how in the world did they come up with the 400.00 to 425.00 value ?
Remember it says "$400.00 value" in the title, but could actually be worth "$425.00" according to the listing body ?
Now we go from addition to subtraction. You can actually get it right now for the ridiculously low BIN price of $150.00 ! Suppose that (choke) a multiplier was used for the discount figure and subtracted from either $400.00 or possibly 425.00....?
And don't forget, the seller is inadvertently giving away one razor... 'Readin', 'Ritin' & 'Rithmetic are very important necessities for a successful eBay business...I think ?

You know I'm just having a little fun, but this listing did put a smile on my face.

It's even worse than that. Add up all their ridiculous estimates on the individual photos.

Those shazers look pretty beat up. What are the odds you could get a decent shaze out of them without a lot of cleanup & restoration?

Are you guys saying my appraisal skills aren't good?

 

[Foyle]

Your the first person I've seen in a long time actually use the word "ye" correctly.

There's no accounting for how people come up with stuff for ebay.

Well see, you take the 8 shazors they listed, multiply them by the 9 shazors they have in the picture, then add that number to the square root of $425 and then multiply it by the cost of each shazor's handle, divide it by the 2 sidez of the DE shazors, then add in the single side of the Gem's, add in $45 per hour for the cleaning time that they could have used but didn't, then add in the cost of their time to actually post it on ebay and you will realize that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be set with shazors for the rest of your life.

This is what happens when you divide by zero

Lol!

Those must be pretty rare and NOS Schicks. 3 for a combined $160!! You're getting the other 5 (or 6) razors for free!!!!

Anyone here want to buy my Schick G for 50 bucks? I'll even clean off the rust.

What's interesting, is I actually have a razor just like the big brass one 4th from the left. It takes a 2 blade cart. I got it as a gift in college, with a nice stand which I still use.

 

[sychodelix]

I think his Rithmatic is a fail.

 

[Shave_Rat]

I've been watching razors on flea-bay for a while now... this is in the top 3 of worst auctions I've seen now. *facepalm*

We should flood nitwits like that with questions.

We should flood nitwits like that with questions.

Things like "I've not had a good shaze in a long time, do you think any of those shazers would be up to the task still?"?

 

[WoodfordReserve-Neat]

I wonder if the Mods would consider creating a "Shazers" forum ?
We need "Shazers" in the wiki, I suspect ?
Maybe something like "shaving with a taser ?", thus shazer...

i messaged them and told them i hope they realize they about $60 worth of razors there, tops.

I've been tempted to do such things, but never bother. I figure most of the time the seller has already proven clueless and not able to do basic research on the items, they will just figure you are trying to talk them down to a better deal for yourself, or such.
