    Default Lost the Wostenholm ?

    I won this Wosty last weekend. I just received a email from the seller telling me that the razor is now been lost or stolen from his desk. BummerName:  lost the wolsty.jpg

    These "excuses" from sellers always bring out the skeptic in me. I have sold THOUSANDS of items on eBay and never "lost: any of them prior to shipping. I guess you ran into am very disorganized seller or you "stole" it on price and he "lost" it.

    That's too bad it's a great looking razor. 7/8?

    My thoughts exactly! The seller has a good 100% rating with hundreds of sales, although most of his items are chain saws and logging related from the northwest. But what can ya do? Sometimes you get the bear,sometimes the bear gets you.

    Yes it appears to be to be about a 7/8 although it did not specify in the listing.

    Sounds fishy to me. I sell razors on the bay and have never lost one. I have a designated place for them. I would contact eBay to see if the seller has pulled this before. He may not have liked the selling price and wants to list it again in the future.

    Maybe the Wosty went to find all my lost homework from grade school.

    I can understand it happening if the guy is anything like me. I live in a chaotic state of clutter and messiness. I live with a cat and he doesn't complain as long as I keep his food and water fresh, and his litter box clean. I have lost things in this house for years ....... literally, and found them eventually when I was looking for something else. A friend of mine quips that I've "put it in a safe place." So I don't know ........ could be an unscrupulous seller, or he could be a hoarder living in clutter like me.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I'm sorry. I just couldn't part with it.

    j/k -- really hope it turns up.

    Welcome to SRP! You probably already know it, but you're in the right place.
