Opening bid of only...
$150.00
Good deal, huh.
A little while back I was watching a frameback 7 day set up for auction that had an opening bid of $250 and a $350ish buy it now, seemed fair, but I didn't want it, so I was just curious how much it was gonna go for. No one bid. Next day the seller re-listed it for $300 opening bid. Watched it again...no one bid. Next day he put it up again for $350 opening bid....and surprise....no one bid. Made me kinda chuckle.

Maybe try $400?
I've seen $40.00+ Omega Pro 10098's on both Amazon and E-bay! What a deal.

Found this one on eBay. It's "barely used."

At least it was gently used. A bit of honing and that will be good as new!

A Dbl Duck Wonderedge.
The scales are nice, but not that nice. How 'bout that edge?

Should clean up nice on a convex stone.....LOL!! Did you win that Our 136?A Dbl Duck Wonderedge.

Those scales though...beautiful and from what I can tell, in really good condition. I'd pay a reasonable amount for this if I had Dubl Duck that needed scales or something.A Dbl Duck Wonderedge.

Top of the scales look disfigured and there is a possible hairline crack as the top pin.

I agree about the top of the scales. I'd want more pictures before considering the scales.
Hell. Blade can probably be salvaged to at least a 9/16”. If the price is right...
The latest thing that annoys me is the 100 character titles that end with “BOX ONLY” which of course gets cropped off on a phone, so you gotta click through the link to see that the imbecile seller is listing a worthless box for $10+ and deliberately tricking people into clicking on it, like they’re going to change their mind and be like “That box is so nice... do I even need the razor?”

I’ve seen guys pay $50 just for the Dd and wonderedge inlays for custom rescaled.
Oh sorry, yea didn't see that. Meh, I have stuff with scales that are worse, some that have been rescued from way worse by other members of this community. Like I've seen things go from
to a usable
(yes it's the same scales, it was painted to hide the patchwork). so the above isn't really bad. Mostly because of the inlays and so on, those are some nice looking scales in general IMO.
Again, depends on the price, honestly for ONLY scales, even if I could salvage them fully, i wouldn't pay more than $100 if that.
Before I buy, I study a razor forward and back. I've never been burned to date. Regarding scales, I prefer if possible. JR put a custom set on the Herder that he got w/o scales.

Impressive restoration.
$100 for scales in this shape is beyond my comprehension, but many things are beyond my comprehension.
I've never paid $100 for any vintage SR. Most of mine have been under $25. Some under $15. I have only one Dubl Duck and it's a shorty for which I paid a high price, $37. It is very nice!
Happy shaves,
