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)

1989 VINTAGE YOGI BEAR & BOO BOO WOODEN PADDLES - eBay (item 300266718111 end time Jan-18-09 18:00:32 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:

Good for them.

Oh my....somebody is certainly partial to paddles! I would be a little concered too.

Makes you wish you hadn't looked into what the user was buyer on ebay!! Ignorance truly is bliss.

Geez ! If Tony Miller see this post he may discontinue the paddles :D

If my childhood taught me anything, they probably deserved it....:gaah:

The answer to: Why is there a gajillion vintage straight razors on ebay but only a few strops?

All the pervy, S&M-types have snarfed them up already.:rant:

I think it i sprobably more a case of what consenting adults are doing with the paddles.....:w

Sorry but no one buys those anymore that is why?

Yeah....Buying that many paddles for use on children would be a WEEEEE bit of overkill. I smell hobby...with a distinct note of kink about it.

Quick, put a little more leather on it! :p

If you consider we buy strops and razors to use on ourselves in what many people consider to be a weird hobby. Perhaps he has been buying paddles strops to be used on himself too, in what may be his weird hobby.
