The seller wants 3600 for a RS10 with only the mild plate.
If you bid on it this person takes it down and then reposts it.

It reads like they’re trying to get someone to contact them directly and buy it outside of eBay. Which is of course against eBay’s rules, regardless of how crazy the price is or not.
So hopefully their listing gets reported every time it goes up.

Did a quick google search on that ebay seller and this link came up. Makes me think that the RS10 listing might have been a hack and that's why any bids caused the listing to get taken down (this link was referencing high-end purses which is not in their product line at all, and they aren't showing up in their active listings now so they probably got removed as well)

He couldn't find enough customers for the release of the Ti version.
Now, it is selling for 4-5 times the retail price.
Is that the reason or was it a strained partnership?

I'm not familiar with the partnership issue. I purchased Raw razor directly from him via email, and he mentioned that he ran out of funds in 2019.
Regarding the Titanium release 'second run,' only a few people had made deposit payments, and the project was subsequently canceled.

I believe they were supposed to be two friends who got into making razors out of a hobby. I read here https://damnfineshave.com/thread-are-raw...ack?page=2 that there was a strained relationship, but they have patents on their razors. Maybe I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last time.
I just assumed one wanted to continue in a different direction than the other so they just went their separate ways and Raw Shaving went away.
