Would you pay $457 for a Gillette Super-Speed?

[BRITD]

Title speaks for itself. Shipping extra. Would you?

No, but apparently there we a lot of fish in that particular pond.

If you mouse over the pic, it appears to have soap scum inside the razor.

 

[JazzyJ]

Bahahaha. The bidding history goes

$456
$451
$61

I'm guessing two people bet extremely high to insure they would get it, each assuming no one else would actually bet that high.

 

[Hansel]

Holy Hannah!
And I felt bad for spending $50 on a razor once.

Not anymore!

I once bid $50 million for an item on eBay – it was a copy of the New York Post dated September 12, 2001 and a lot of us were bidding crazy to take these "collectibles" off the market.

But I would never been crazy money for razor…

Yikes, I think your right. That definitely looks like soap scum. Also the blade pack has been opened and missing its wrapper.

Hard to say, but if so, that could warrant a return. I don't doubt the claim of "unused" condition factored into the price, although why anyone would pay that much, I have no idea.

 

[rxonmymind]

Ouch. N. not him. I mean everything with that auction.

So I have to ask: Aristocrats seem to be running at about $125 on the 'Bay for one in newish condition. Is this normal?

 

[Heron]

Hmmm... A new set of tires for my car or an old razor?

 

[chilliman64]

I bet the seller was happy with that price - you could get two toggles for that!

I'd like to talk to you about a loan....

 

[coolbus18]

makes me feel real good about how much less I paid for my set and a razor that looks a whole lot better.

 

[77TransAm]

Holy crap. This must be a rich person's birth quarter razor

What?! Rupert Murdoch could have just printed more.

 

[ateace]

I just like the razors. Boxes and complete sets don't interest me.

 

[musicman1951]

Not even if it came with a blonde.

 

[Jut]

no.
