    Default Caveat Emptor

    If I ever saw an example of buyer beware here it is. Read this guy's description and then check out the photos of the item.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Definately CAVEAT EMPTOR, where do you start in an assessment? Just too many things. Too bad you cant post a warning on ebay.

    Where's the bit at the bottom that says April Fool's? Wait, it's not April. That seller is a fool.

    5/8 with serious hone wear and a ground down toe.

    Interesting: he says there is no reserve, yet otoh he says he'll pull the auction if doesn't fetch enough.

    Not to mention he says it's a W&B but has St-Louis Hardware &Cutlery Company, and no sign of anywhere on the razor that it's a W&B besides the box? Oooof...some people!

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think this guy has used an online translation tool? Certainly doesn't read like native English to me.

    I'm from Illinois, like the seller, and if you don't think he speaks "native" English, then you've never heard the late, great Mayor Richard J. Daley speak. This seller is just one of our "Dees, Dem and Dose" guys.

    Does anyone have an empty Rolex box they don't need? I have a busted old Timex I'd like to convert into a Rolex by listing it with your box.
