'Flog It' - Shaving Gear

I saw it. The chap would have been better off splittng it all up and pushing it though eBay. Of course, that doesn't get you on the telly.

I have to say I was a little disappointed by the attitude of the expert.

I agree with Ian but i'm thinking he doesnt know much about Razors,the presenter not Ian of course,and i'm wonderng why the owner had made no effort to clean anything up,that makes me think he's more of a hoarder than a collector.

Ah, Phillip Serrell, the "expert" who seemingly has an expensive habit of buying fairly useless old bits of wood for ourageous amounts of money and selling them at an enormous loss.

For someone who specialises in wooden items he doesn't seem to have a very good record of identifying bits that are worth anything to anyone else. I remember him buying a wooden pitchfork for over £100 and it went at auction for £12. I'm not surprised he knows Jack Schitt about shaving implements.

As an aside, does anyone else know of a more flawed concept than "Bargain Hunt"? Buy at the most expensive places (retail) and sell at the cheapest place (an auction)? And then they're surprised when niether team makes anything but an embarrassing loss?
I go to auctions a bit and one of the most common punters you see is an owner of a retail shop looking to stock up on cheaper antique furniture and jewellery to flog on to other people.
 
I saw that and thought "nice, that looks like a couple of boxed Ever Readies, a Valet and some other bits. I bet they will only go for a few quid on that chickensh!t show." I had to leave before the program finished.

To be fair, that sort of gear will only fetch a good price when sold to enthusiasts, not a general auction. They could have at least paid lip service to the potential value of boxed, vintage shaving equipment though.
 
If that twat said that about my razors, small market, I don't know how much there worth, blare,blare, blare,my foot and his arse would have a high speed collision quiet frankly!:mad:
 
What an arse of a presenter! perhaps he's never used the new fangled interweb to do some research! As for the collector/seller,surely he should know better, or perhaps it was worth the loss, to be made to look stupid on tele by the previously mentioned arse, oh sorry I mean expert!

Possible new definition of expert, ex = has been, spurt= a drip under pressure!

Man I tell you that cock wouldn't know any thing about a vintage razor even if you inserted up his arsehole, when I got my slim I happily payed £95 for it, yes my wife went apeshit, but when it arrived she could see it was worth the money, even the kids could see it was worth it, if a child can see it why could that fat useless cock see it ? You know my 80 year old tec, still shaves as good,as the day it was made should tell him something.
 
Those antique dealers really don't know their arse from their elbow.

They should know there's at least four people in Europe who collect that sort of stuff and would kill for a used razor blade wrapper.

Next they'll be saying there isn't a massive market in used nail clippers, nit combs and veruca socks.

No wonder antique dealers haven't got any money, eh?

There is now over 64million people living in the uk,so its not that difficult to think of, in times of hardship people will naturally go for the cheaper way of shaving and that includes the humble de razors, I was talking to next door this morning and even he and his son is using a de razor got from the interweb and likes it "much cheaper than the cartrage razor" he said. So the conclusion is its probably more tha 1 million people.:icon_surprised:
