β€œI know what you mean. Some people are definitely on the make. I’ve seen listings for razors I’ve bought asking for 3x what I paid for mine. I’ve seen the most inflated so far today, though I suspect there have been even more outrageous examples. Try a Slim for the equivalent of $551 not including postage. It’s just a regular 1963 I4 Slim. I paid the equivalent of $40 for mine 14 months ago in similar condition and that included postage!”
