Resold wolfman prices

Freddy Nobody is putting anybody down, but this has been beaten to death in the last week and you gents even closed the thread.  So what is the point of starting another Wolfman thread?

I know discussions and opinions are welcome, but quality over quantity should be paramount IMO.  

But, you gents are the bosses

I agree with the OP and I don't think this is a shameless plug. He put together a well composed thread. Why get so defensive? The OP was cordial. I think we can be also.

This could have started a great thread of other items that had crazy resell value until production caught up, or maybe people would have said it was worth it. But instead everyone gets offended and turn it into a hate thread.

BTW: Paladins are in the same category. Resell has already corrected itself. Mongoose never sell more than cost anymore. I think James is about to hit a turning point that make a lot of people happy.

Hopefully you are right, but I have my doubts. And I'll leave the subject and let you gents talk it out among yourselves.

It didn't come across to me that you were putting him down, rather it came across that you were being a jerk. Don't take this personally, though your thoughts on what has been beaten to death don't interest me.

I remember when I got the batch 1 Mongoose.

I tried it with the Feather Pro Super blades for two weeks.

I didn't know those blades were bigger and stick out a little more than the regular Feather Pro blades.

I prefer mild razors. So, after two weeks of aggressive shaves with it, after an especially painful nick under my nose with it, I put it up for sale auction style on eBay. I was just hoping to get close to my money back.

I didn't even have the original box since I wasn't expecting to not like it or not keep it. That nick under my nose was it though. I took a few days not checking in with the auction. The night it was over I logged in and saw it sold for over $300.

I expected to have to relist it or do the second chance offer since I was thinking that the bids had to be someone goofing around or a mistake. Nope. It was real.

The point is, do second hand Mongooses go for a premium anymore? Certainly not close to 2.5 times if so.

I can't predict the future any better than anyone else. I am still surprised by the ebb and flow of the free market.

I have been surprised more than once. Usually with vintage stuff. Not just when I get a higher price than I expected either. I have shipped out plenty of stuff that sold for much less than I expected and less than I paid for it in the first place.

I have also gotten caught up in the hottest thing and paid for the privilege of getting stuff that is not easily gotten.

I keep by far more stuff than I don't. My wife and kid will have to deal with most of my collection after I'm dust.

I will be surprised though if very many Wolfman razors sell for what they have in the past few months. I hope they will be in production for many years to come.

The whole situation is clearly not unique to the brand. It's interesting to see the new 'got to have' things. I expect that the Wolfman will probably airways be a bench mark to measure other razors against. I hope they'll eventually be something that everyone who wants to can get easily. They are certainly desirable for good reason.

Ah, so now you are going to call me names?  Very mature of you!  Welcome to my ignore list, I don't have time to exchange insults with immature members.  Name calling doesn't get you much around here and I don't lower myself to those tactics.

Very nice coming from somebody that just joined not long ago.

I think James is about to turn the corner on production. I still think the demand will remain high since it's a great product

I would very much like to be on the ignore list of you and any other people that treat others the way you did with original poster in this thread. Do you some how think that because you have been here for a while that you can treat others poorly and that someone who is new like myself should sit back while you behave in such a manner?

I call out bad behavior. It's not ok to treat others poorly.

So that gives you the right to call me names? I guess is ok for you to treat others poorly. I stated my opinion about the thread without calling the OP names.

Who's calling the kettle black? Give me a break, lol......Done with you! Get your facts straight before making a fool of yourself, just an old timer suggestion, lol....

Okay, gentlemen, let's please get back on track and consider the original poster's thoughts on the subject.
