Mach 3 for $51.00??

So, I was perusing the auctions on ebay and came across this auction for a Mach 3. It was around $18 at that point and I thought that was a bit much. But it ended up going for $51.00!! Why would this be that expensive? Because of the aluminum case it comes with? People actually collect cartridge razors?

Maybe an NOS one will be worth an arm and a leg in 2111, but right now, it's a mystery to me.

didn't you see that thing? it's GREEN, plus it's POWER NITRO

of course it's worth $50+ then.

Oh, I get it now.

Probably would have fetched $80 had he included the AAA battery.

Boy do I feel stupid. I had one just like it once and threw it away because IMHO Mach 3 s***s.

Even the modern cart fans aren't buying into the proglide BS

I have a green Mach 3. I should sell it on Ebay. But I think I will PIF it here because I love B&B so much!

There's a rival forum called Can & Cartridge, and they're pushing up all the prices.

Holy Cow! Here's a BIN for $12.99 (10 available)

That is crazy. I wonder if there was a recent article in the Wall Street Journal about Power Mach 3s.

me too! lol...jokes

That is a little disconcerting. I suppose in 2111 it might be rare - but I bet no one will still care!

Wow! Clearly those bidders have lost their minds!

Yea, unless I missed the part where a pallet of cartridges is included... WOW! How long did the seller laugh when the auction ended is my question. Is he still laughing now?

Who would pay that kind of money for a razor that people don't care about anymore....

They have a forum on can restoration.

I notice two of the bidders had feedback scores of '2' and '0', and that the "winner's" feedback is private.

Me smells something foul . . . glad they weren't bidding on a truly collectible razor and unfairly running the price up . . .

Freakin unbelievable, I wouldn't pay that for 10 Mach 3's !!!
