Thread: The Wall Of Shame

Snipping on these auctions can get pretty funny. I was watching the russian jnat one and in the last 30 seconds the price was jumping and dropping as shill bidders were being cancelled. So yes the only way for this to work with snipping is you stick to your original snipe even if the price goes high with the expectation that once the fake ones get cancelled the price will drop just before the end of the auction.
On the other hand I have not bid on his auctions again even though I hear that the stones he sells are pretty good.

I have some. They are very good, but he is an absolute idiot

It's why I do bin obo these days unless they are total resto candidates, they know I am not shilling and I can screen buyers a bit. Between that and the bid restriction settings, it is my way of imposing sanity in the chaos. And the blocked bidder list.. Mine is starting to look like a war memorial, sadly...

look at this prize!

Auctions like that are frustrating if you need specific scales

Blade is badly discoloured and spotted but solid

I think we might have different ideas about what solid means.

I wondered what that crazy hook was at the back of the blade. Somebody was over exuberant with the sharpener. The king of hone wear!

What is funny is that some of these razors that need rescaling or only good for parts get posted for more than they would if they were in good condition. Like the W&B with the busted blade for over $200.
I may price higher since I expect people to MAO instead of BIN, but not that much!

Probably because I haven't does as much selling, but fortunately I haven't had any difficult buyers so far. Probably inevitable though. I try to use pictures that show any problems and don't allow returns.
