E-bay is a disturbing place.
So, I am selling a couple of vintage paddle strops, and I received one bid, which is cool and everything. sooo... I was bored tonight so I checked out the bidder's history.
Here is my auction they are bidding on:
Lot of 2 Vintage Leather Straight Razor Paddle Strops - eBay (item 110355888260 end time Mar-02-09 19:31:44 PST)
And here are some of the auctions that they won in the last few months:
VINTAGE " CENTRAL BLACK SHIRTS " PADDLE - eBay (item 160315763292 end time Feb-16-09 09:55:15 PST)

Wooden Paddle With Bear Decor Wall Hanging Vintage - eBay (item 260360561697 end time Feb-14-09 14:25:03 PST)
initially, i thought..how wierd, someone that collects vintage paddles...
Then, I ran across this auction they won:
Back To Common Sense - Spanking and Discipline - eBay (item 250352700571 end time Jan-12-09 10:04:49 PST)
...then I realized...
My antique paddle strops may be unable to fulfill their destiny of sharpening razors..... instead be used as instruments of torture for use on small, unsuspecting children ... :eek:
