    Nice stuff. From your 100% feedback rating and your complete descriptions I would have total confidence in bidding on your auctions. OTOH, I don't understand why in your photos you don't show the whole razor?

    I see sellers do this and it always makes me wonder if they are hiding something. Showing one side and not the other for example. Not long ago a seller had a Wonderedge up on ebay. He had one photo showing the back side so you didn't know if the metal inlay on the front side was intact.

    I emailed and asked and he never responded. The razor didn't bring near what it would have with good photos of both sides. Anyway, good luck with your auctions.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I like the bullseye washers on the walnut scales. Did you buy them from the guy in Germany who makes them? They don't look like stacked washers, that's why I ask.

    I'm watching that razor. I've been very interested to see what the Ebay world thinks of rescaled razors with handcrafted scales. Maybe it's the higher frequency of strict collectors/non-shavers on Ebay that are looking for original that has seemed to have less demand for handcrafted work? I hope I'm wrong and you get a high price for that razor.

    Personally I am only able to upload four photos. The close-ups were to show the defects or attributes in the razor. I figure this is better than the long-range out-of-focus cellphone camera shots that have become popular. The pictures were taken in a lightbox with a fujitsu s9000 and scaled down for Ebay.

    I rarely sell on Ebay, but if you ever need an extra picture, please feel free to ask and I will be more than happy to oblige.

    Kind regards,
    Tony.

    Those are stacked washers. The rescaling was done by Denmason from this board (hi Dennis!).

    They look good but the white balance is a bit off. What type of lighting were you using? Normal incandescent lights turn things kind of dull yellow in photographs. With better lighting I think you'd get a better picture and hence a better sales price.

    Check out Auctiva. You can post up to 24 pictures in one listing and the service is absolutely free. That's what I use. It's easy and gives you way more features than listing directly through Ebay.

    AaronX: that's my problem...I blew a bulb on one of my lights and had to use an overhead incandescent light to compensate.

    Chrisl: I'll look into that service for more photos.

    Thank you everyone for the tips.

    Tony.

This isn't a question only to you, but to everyone on SRP that sells on Ebay who specifies CONUS only: Why? Is it really that much trouble to ship to Europe?
