Thread: A few of my razors on Ebay

I used to limit my sales to the CONUS but a friend convinced me that I would have better results if I went worldwide. This paid off on a bicycle that I had listed at a high price. I had over 80 people watching and got one bid seconds before it ended. That bid was from the UK.

I am not a steady ebay seller. I just sell stuff that is extra or that I have lost interest in. I finally broke down and bought a couple of scales to figure shipping charges accurately and that made selling overseas easier. Selling out of the USA requires a bit more work in that I have to go to the PO and do the customs forms but it has been worth the extra time.

I'm definately bidding on the Wade and Butcher 6/8 with MOP and Abalone

So if any of you try something funny...

Just kidding ... or not ?

yea im not gonna bid on any of them

Good looking razors. I'll be watching them.

As a side note, I'm a photographer (side gig stuff mostly, but looking into doing weddings and such). It drives me BATTY when I see photos of the razors and there's a huge glaring light reflection. Is it really so difficult to take photos of the razors without the light reflection?

If anyone EVER has any questions how to improve their photos for their razors please feel free to PM me or start a thread and ask questions. I can go about how to answer these questions from the perspective of trying to keep it cheap as well and not buy a lot of specialized photo equipment (using household equipment, although I do recommend at some point you buy at least a cheap tripod. you can usually find for $10-$20 at stores like frys or similar).

Those are very nice looking pieces! Out of curiosity, how hollow is the grind on this lovely, would you say?

Just out of curiosity, mind you .

I'd pop a UV filter on the end of your lens. Doesn't matter if you use it indoors, It still really helps.

I would call it a quarter to a half-hollow. closer to a quarter hollow.

Would you guys be opposed to starting a new thread on razor photography? Personally I would love to start with a stock photo and apply these suggestions with your feedback.

Tony.

Thanks for the info Tony.

so I found my seller!
