Thread: Any Tricks/Techniques For Dealing With Forced Perspective Pics On eBay?

Antique Straight Razors Peacock w H Morley G Wostenholm Real iXL | eBay

This is something which plagues me on eBay at times so wondering if anyone has particular techniques/suggestions they use (other than emailing for better pictures) for determining actual blade condition when you see pics that make things like edge geometry seem more off than they are... Or, when 'only' those type of pics are listed in an Auction.

The link above is just one example and the pics below are from that link... When the blade is facing at about this 45 degree position it can really enhance what appears to be greater toe wear than there actually is. The blade on top definitely has some pronounced toe wear whereas the lower pic has significantly less. Ideas?

This is just a brainstorming type post... Thanks for any and all information!
