It is a pretty unique piece.
$2500 is a pretty penny, but I'm sure that it is worth it to some people out there.
If it sells, then that's what is it worth. At least

People can ask what they want, price-wise. Doesn't mean they'll get it. I think the seller is banking on those scales being rare enough, both in materials and aesthetics, to induce someone with more money than brains to hit the bin button. And perhaps there are serious collectors out there who recognise it as being a one-off, unique piece and are prepared to pay that kind of money for it. It's their money I guess.

However, I am always more interested in the blade of straights. Bergs are good shavers, but you would have to fill every orifice in my body with crack before I would even consider that blade for that money. YMMV.

Careful, someone might hold you to that.

Honestly, that is the coolest Berg I've seen.

I could eat off the dollar menu for 2 1/2 years with that kind of money

Liar, everybody knows you'd just snicker a day for 10.95 years instead!!!


That's pretty cool scales, but even I would rather spend that money having John make me several different pairs and start my own history. And I don't need crack at all, my precious bodily fluids are by now just alcohol.

it was a hop-othetical, nothing more

anyway, if that razor was in plastic scales it would be priced like any other 'nice razor!'

No, you mis-spoke. I could certainly do it (remember 'supersize me'?), but I would not choose to. Those who can succeed in the political arena are apparently doing so

Well it says 'or best offer'. I wonder whether the seller set the price or if it was a consignee ? Ambitious one way or the other. Still, as a buddy of mine used to say, "If you don't shake the tree, you don't get any fruit."
