Thread: Kees Thuringian on ebay?

Kees, is that your Thuringian??

He won't say but I will, YES! Kees, you old Dutch tightwad, trying to make money on us, are you?

I tried to buy large amounts thuringer from MST as the distributor but they don't want to sell me

They don't want to sell you full stop or at a reduced price? I wouldn't have thought you'd have had a problem ordering from them at the price on the web page?
I haven't tried asking for a discount if I ordered a number at once because my German isn't up to it.

I asked them as the company rather than the individual person, .They sent me to the seller from Warszawa http://do-drewna.pl/ostrzalki/

funniest, only my suggestions caused that he was offering to Thuringer for honing a razor,earlier he sold me 2 whetstones (MST MiCronBa,Apex Goliath) about gradation 500-600 saying that it of stone for final polishing

The dealer is Warszawa is probably their exclusive distributor in Poland and you would likely need to buy through them just as I am in the USA. I know first hand supply issues are common with these particular stones.

goodness did I understand? you are buying stones from Mr Andrzej Izdebski from Intertools?

Yes it is mine. I buy them from the Dutch distributor, check them out before I put them on ebay. Just bought a lot of 10 hones, 2 will go back. One has only large pyrite inclusions the other also has small gritty inclusions. The one with the pyrite only inclusions does create a nice edge on a razor as it has a smooth surface but when you move the razor across the pyrite spots, due to increased friction, it feels like the razor is moved along a bumpy road which might make a new owner unhappy. I compared this particular one with my yellow green and could not find a substantial differrence in edge quality. The Y/G has a smoother surface and hones a slower but is not a better hone IMO.

I decided not to sell them through SRP vendor's corner because I did not want to compete with members who are established vendors as well. AFAIK none of the prominent SRP vendors are very active on ebay so I thought it might be "safer" to sell on ebay.

BTW these Thuringers are not MST stones!

No, sorry for the confusion. I am the USA distributor for MST-Mueller and buy direct from them as I suspect Intertools does.

I had the same problem with my Thuringers. They come from a small family-owned company in Germany that are awfully slow in processing orders and will only sell to distributors. It took me about than 2 months to get the 1st shipment.
