Price differences

Why did this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261010636707 sell for £34.66 and this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290705532465?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 for £12.11?

Am I missing the point or is this just ebay craziness?

One is in good condition, the other has brassing and wear.
That's it.

Really pisses me off when they don't show the head on ebay photographs, immediately makes me suspicious of the seller trying to hide something.

Based on the photos the lesser is the better choice. Yes, strange. Was one offered at an 'off' hour?

 

[Bechet]

One is clean and one is dirty and tarnished. Is that 'tarnish' actually brassing? I hope not but we'll see with bicarb and ali foil.

Good answer, Johnus - the correct one! I hope you are right - the lesser being the greater. The more expensive auction finished at a slightly better time, as I recall.

What to do with umpteen old and unwrapped blades? The obvious?

Yip it's brassing as silver tarnish is black.

Bugger! of course it is!

I shall walk through the rain to get a haircut, really rub salt in.
