Thread: Clear as mud...

His starting price might be good. Description and pictures are muddled at best...so bad I can't make out the admitted chip!

Griffon Carbo Magnetic 1560 Robeson Sure Edge Razor | eBay

A guy with 4500 sales should be able to take better pictures.

He did the camera focused on the bricks well enough. I have no idea why we see so many bad pictures on Ebay. I thought most of the sellers had a goal of trying to get as MUCH as they can.

Vague on the photos and vague on the description. This is what I sent to the seller...

There is no such thing as a Ford Chevy, and there is no such thing as a Griffon Carbo Magnetic Robeson Sure Edge. Please don't just list a bunch of random brand names. What is the brand of the razor? This is the information you should have provided in the first place.

I think your all being a little harsh here. The photos are clear enough that you can see the BOX is a Griffin Carbo. And Clear enough that you can see the razor is a Robeson. Not only that, but he SAYS as much in the description.
The other pictures are crap its true, and this is called "Buyer Beware"
I can see the chip. Certainly it will require some extra work to bring it back to shaveable.
Is that rust and pitting on the blade? Probably. But I think your all just too lazy to really look at the photos, or read the descriptions.

I'd imagine with a BIN of 10 bucks he/she probably just didn't think it was worth the bother to put too much effort into it.

Two things...

First, new pictures have been added. These show that the blade is in fact a Robeson. None of the previous pictures were anywhere near focussed enough to indicate that.
Second, the text does declare the box is for a Griffon, but nothing in the text declares it to be a Robeson. As a buyer I should not have to rely on process of elimination to try to suss out the intention of the seller.

Heck Magpie there's no need in calling anyone lazy, is this your razor? I,m pretty sure I,m not lazy , but at first it t was missing some clear pictures. Tc

Well, I can see the chip near the tip and 'robeson shur' but that's all.
The whole bevel edge looks very crusty to me.
