something for the collectors


:icon_rolleyes:

I did have my eye on that one.

Mind you I suspect plenty of other people will to be fair.


I have, Carl. They do shave very nicely but I suspect the only reason prices have gone so high (along with other razors like Streamlines) is down in large part to our friends on the other forum constantly bigging them up.
 

Well Paul, I have the solution for making that large simian happy. Yes, we can work this out so that you get a good deal on your soon to be Darwin. Oh, you do need to keep an open mind.

So those Yankee forum bastards are responsible for the high prices eh? Well then, join the party! Yep, unload some of your pieces over there for crazy money to fund your Darwin. Anything Gillette razor made in the UK will get huge money from those goofy guys, especially those clunky old Aristos you're so fond of. Getting the drift now?

I would have to think that maybe selling 3-4 of those would give you enough profit to end up making the Darwin surprisingly easy to afford. Yeah, it's simple math!!! Can't beat em join em kinda thing. Those foreigners love anything English.

Heh, how well do you rationalize? This would be a good test of that feature.

Congrats in advance regarding your new purchase.

I know, don't worry. It's obvious it's been seen by loads. I expect it'll finish in the several-hundreds and be heading across the Atlantic with the others.


That's a good idea Mart.

A slight fly in the ointment is the bit about selling my Aristos. It's set my eye twitching like Dreyfus out of the Pink Panther.

A better idea would be for you to go incognito onto the other forum and big up fat and thin handle Techs and News to get their prices going through the roof.

Come on, be a pal.
 
Wasn't me! I never, ever shaved!

Can't understand why they ever name it after Me?

link

is it this? quite good hidden.
 

No it's another one. The one you are looking at is the main one most people know about.
 
Dobbo, why don't you just post the link to it?

I'm not sarcastic or funny about it, but if I were that desperate for a Darwin I'd either PM you or scour EBay to find it.

As you've already mentioned it twice you may as well post the link.

I only mentioned it once TP, Raiserhobel asked me if it was the one he posted the link too, I said "no it's another one". So all I was doing was answering a query from another TSR member.
 
I thought it might sound like I was having a go. I honestly wasn't, it's been discussed at length before and there is nothing wrong with live EBay auctions being listed.

I just thought it might be worth posting a link to the auction that's all, in case anyone here has missed it.
 

No problem TP, no offence taken, I didn't think you were having a go. I know it has been discussed before, I think about a Red Tip last time
I have had a pm about it so I think it best to keep it out of the open forum for now but if anyone is seriously looking I'm sure they'll find it.

I see my RAD can itch all it likes - I ain't never gonna own one of those things, not at that sort of price!!! £675?????? Sheesh!

Exactly, Carl. Unless I get a Deluxe on Fleabay that no-one spots or I come across one in an antique shop or boot sale I will never be owning one at that price.
 

Probably could have just ended it at wasteland.....

Only playing couldn't resist (coming from a Brummie living in Cardiff)

Hah, that Inspector D. reference was a good one. Kind of an obvious tell that he was a tad disturbed over something.

You know, I was half serious about you dumping some of those clunky old razors of yours that you bought right. Sounds plausible till the actual selling part kicks in. Speaking of selling stuff over there, a couple UK made pieces of mine recently found new homes in the US. Yes, the buyers seemed nice, so I thought it would be ok. That, and also the large price I got for each item. Both were sold within minutes........poof!

So seeing as how you're my favorite sport buddy ace, I will act as a straw man and sell your dusty old beat up rhodium plated clunky things as being my own. Since we are 'pals', I would settle for a 50/50 split, even though I would be doing most of the work. The price we go by is of course the selling price. Sounds good eh? Man, I hope Mikey doesn't see that split and want the same deal for me selling his goofy straights over at SRP.
