i think its a bit overpriced with the plate loss, but it demonstrates the market.......

Hey Daz,

The seller is a dreamer, he's had that brush on for an age!

silly prices. just to put into context, i paid less for a brand new ikon 101 delivered. a quality stainless razor that will hold its looks and value from a proper shop......

Two very nice ones sold last week on Ebay at bids of Â£102 and Â£133. The last one (US seller) even had the original instructions.

Interesting thread, just out of interest what does everyone think is a good price for a fully stripped, serviced and replated (in nickel) Fatboy? I've seen some very adventurous prices on ebay and some of those have been replated whilst fully assembled.

You could probably ask between Â£80 & Â£90 I should think.

it would all depend on the quality of the plated item, as you say there are some iffy looking replates knocking about-the presence of plating on the black ring under the knob is a giveaway. i reckon Â£100 and up for a stripped,replated and rebuilt example-depends how much of your time is invested and how much the razor cost to start with. a really nice original piece is always going to be more desirable though.
