Sell now before it's too late: prices crashing on the 'Bay!

Yeah, I know, every day there is another thread complaining about eBay prices crashing on vintage DE razors. Well, I'm here to pile on: sell your collections now before they are completely worthless. Just a few days ago a nickel Toggle sold for a mere $762. Today, more evidence of impending doom:

A cased 1961 Aristocrat in excellent condition sold for a mere $48. A few weeks ago, this razor would have sold for 3 times that price. What is the world coming to, you ask? Based solely on these two data points and absolutely nothing else, I have reached the inescapable conclusion that we are facing a sudden and unexplained bursting of the "razor bubble."
Is CFM "too big to fail?"

I saw a couple of OC Aristocrats go for $400+ a few weeks ago and easily over $200 for quite some time now. I was ready to sell mine, but suddenly they're going for under $100. It's really strange.

This 1956 Toggle languished on the bay for hours before being given away at $5000.

Last week I saw a prewar fat handle Tech go for about $75. I analyzed the past three months sales of Techs for a trend and didn't find one. Show me your facts.

I have a theory that vintage fountain pen prices can be used to forecast economic trends. If the same goes for vintage razors, we might be headed for global economic catastrophe! Or good times. My theory's not that well developed yet.

I now expect to see a posting of "Out of the goodness of my heart, I will buy your devalued razors at excellent prices . . . Toggles, Bottom Dials, . . . "
