EBAY DIGEST: Interesting Shaving Related Recent Sales Recap

I bought them and never received them either. Noticed the listing and seller are now gone also.
Time for eBay to step in and make this right.
I started the refund process about 3 minutes after Thom's indicative post. The good news, it's only $13 total.
The bad news is, I'm down to my last blade and desperately need supplies.
OK, that last part was a total lie.

I received my order 2 days ago. Although I didn't get info that it had shipped, they arrived within the prescribed time, and are exactly as described.
Even received feedback from the seller...
Anyone seen one of these before?

Anyone ever see one of THESE before? Got it off the bay because it's so unusual. And it works, too! It vibrates the head. It appears that it was made by Gillette because the cap and guard are perfect fits to the machine's neck, but there are no markings on the machine:
"FIREM" and Siemens both made electric razors like that one according to my GoogleFu...

Interesting find; it looks to be in excellent shape. The head is from a SC NEW, but I don't think the rest of it was made by Gillette. The handle maker just used standard threading that allowed for the use of other heads.
I don't know but for $225 listed price I wouldn't even bother to make an offer to the seller.
Just one of those auctions...

Somebody thought it was worth an offer. I wonder what it went for?

this was awhile ago, but a really nice price for that. A fox.with the box and all accessories is like a $400+ razor. One of the first safety razors. Early 1890s.

Granted, this one is in incredibly gnarly condition, but when I found a green case there had only been 3 others ever reported on B&B, so the Seller was correct listing it as "Scarce+Rare." Worth $200? It only takes one buyer who thinks so.
A can of compressed air, some scotch tape for the stubborn particles, a $10 common bar handled NEW and pack of old Gillette Blue Blades (both that the buyer probably already has), and he's got himself a Scarce & Rare complete set.
I ended up getting the set, as my NEW collection is what I focus on.
I offered 40$, and paid a little over twice that after I confirmed the rarity of the case and the oddity of the handle.
Not to give away any secrets, but some sellers have no idea what they have and automatically take the first offer. I was hoping for that with the 40, but no such luck. Still, nowhere near the original price.

Well done, Matt - not many would have recognized the special nature of the set!
Thanks, still trying to make heads or tails of the razor though.
I highly doubt the razor was sold in that case. But it's a cool score, the green cases are rare.
Congrats, Matt.
