    Default Talk about a rip off

    Here's one I can't quite believe.....

    $20.00 shipping, $250.00 start price for a no name razor. Seller has zero sales. What looks like rust is gold??? Wow.

    1920's straight razor. made in solingen germany - eBay (item 220462488522 end time Aug-11-09 11:16:36 PDT)

    I don't know what it is exactly that has me tickled about this ad, but I can't stop loudly chuckling

    It could be the blatantly absurd yet mild-toned description
    Or it could be that the seller actually has to say "blade looks rusted but"
    Or maybe that the shipping is about ten times what I'd offer for the razor itself
    Or maybe my expectation of what a $250 razor should look like coupled with the sub-amateurish photo

    Actually I think it's the photo. The razor is carefully laid and positioned on some sort of ugly fabric. And I'm not sure if it's just me or what, but it looks like there are two or three blades stuffed into those scales. Or is it a quadruple bevel? Or just a funny focus? I keep going back and forth between the photo and the starting price and the description, and I can't stop laughing. I have tears in my eyes. Help!

    What's the problem with people that sell worthless stuff and their worthless photographic skills? Wait, did I just hit the link?
