What it could be?

Ohh, that's easy <g>. If we all decide NOT to bid some newbie will snap it up for nothing and it will turn out to be a geniune yellow green Escher work a few hundred.

On the other hand we can all bid and fight over it, some experienced member will win it and upon close inspection it will be a vintage Norton 22grit emory stone worth $6.37 <g>.

Or worse Tony, some poor guy just starting out gets it at an inflated price, trashes his only razor and then butcher's his face...

**Sweeney Todd** · 03-13-2007, 02:19 AM

I get the feeling the bids the Eschers and Belgians have been bringing in have prompted some sellers to toss the word 'razor' in their description lines hoping to add to the final price of their stones even if they've no reason to think their stone was ever made for use in sharpening razors.

Unless glaringly obvious, I don't know how it's possible to figure out a stone's approximate grit from a photo, and doubt the 'here's another rare find' sellers could tell even if they were asked.

This came in my search too - but Tony is right and too funny!

Cheers

ps not sure if I'll be bidding on it - can lay off if someone is very motivated

**scarface** · 03-18-2007, 01:30 AM

well, girls, I'm the lucky buyer ($29.95+$6s/h)....I've already talked to Tony and I'm going to have him take a look at it and see if he can tell what it is, and have him try it out and see if it's any good for razors...

(...yeah, yeah, I know....$36 for THAT???...what can I say...I'm made of money!)

...stay tuned.

-whatever

EDIOT: Ah, heck!...we all KNOW it's a $350 vintage Escher...why wait for Tony....first $500 takes it....c'mon girls....don't be shy!

**Hawkeye5** · 03-18-2007, 04:29 AM

Has to be good. Comes in a 'wod' box. Now that is something you don't see every day. Hope it turns out to be the bargain of a lifetime.

**Sweeney Todd** · 03-19-2007, 03:30 AM

Should we start up a poll on this?

What Did Lou Get?

A) A yellow/green Escher

B) A Translucent Arkansas

C) Belgian Coticule

D) A block of ice

E) Screwed

At least that way the kids at home can play along, too!

**scarface** · 03-19-2007, 03:11 PM

Based on past eBay experience, I'm gonna have to go with 'E'.

-whatever

-Lou

**izlat** · 03-19-2007, 04:22 PM

Well,

I hope it turns out to be a "normal" Escher. Because if it's just some unusable rock - Lou paid too much and I'd be sad for him, and if it's a green / yellow - I'd be sad for myself because I saw it and didn't get it

Cheers
Ivo
