So definitely have to watch eBay. The rocket showed very nice in the listing. See original post. But I got this, nicks and pits and scratches. Definitely not work the $100[Image: 403a0b8105b9995629caf9639ff21088.jpg][Image: 5dfbbb31875c2df740d68279fd9a056d.jpg]

That is not what I would consider "mint." It might be worth discussing with the seller before leaving feedback. IMHO.

This happened to me too. I didn't have the heart to break the guy's 100 percent rating.

I know I know. I am a softie sometimes..

I just remember the guy, so I can avoid in the future.

Ya trying to get approval to return. Thinking it's in very fair or good condition. Thinking only worth $25-45. But not sure not very many Rocket out there compared to super speed.

Not an expert on these, but my impression is, they seem fairly abundant, and not sure it's worth $100.

They are not as common as other SS, but they are still out there. I got a gold paperclip version a month ago without looking very hard for it. Not sure if I was just lucky.

Ya I finally got permission to return the rocket for $108. Definitely only worth half that.
I got this rocket one coming with original box for $74[Image: 0049f1bc253a79241b691f181e69fc5d.jpg]

I got to shave with the SS this morning. Installed a Kai blade, and wow this 60 year old razor shave better then the Parker,ikon and ATT I have shaved with in the past.

1950 Super Speed I bought for the box, to go with my near mint 1950 SS. Was $20 shipped. These pics are after I took apart and put in ultra sonic cleaner. No dings but couple spots missing nickel coating. [Image: 4a7d397e91281d054c59fbe988cb0f96.jpg][Image: e4eab4e5aaedb3cd59dc4cd73a28fa64.jpg][Image: df29d3d2735f88c696c3f70298f70889.jpg]

You know, Rlacrossjr, this is almost exactly how I ended up with a vintage razor collection.   Big Grin
