Thread: What's going on with this Friodur/Filly auction?

$180 for the lot makes it $30/each. I guess somebody really liked them the way they are.

What's that supposed to mean? What if the buyer didn't realize these razors had been altered? Shouldn't we somehow bring that to their attention? Shouldn't that be part of the eBay listing?

Hopefully anyone that would be willing to spend the money on a filly or friodur would immediately (1) go hmmmmm, why are these being sold as a lot and then (2) look at the pictures and then (3) go "ahhhhh, they've all been sawed off".

That was my thought process anyway

Or failing that, they'd go to this thread!

The auction was over when I posted but, I'm not sure to whose attention it should be brought. The seller most certainly knows what these are and has chosen to list it with the details given for a reason, not out of ignorance.
And warning bidders on ebay is impossible.

If somebody checks this thread they would know, but at the end of the day this really is a transaction between the top bidder and the seller, governed by the ebay rules. We can feel sorry for the buyer but may be they are well aware of what they bought and are really happy with it.

Gug is right. Plus if he paid with Paypal he can always get his money back if they were misrepresented in anyway. Ebay and Paypal really side with the buyer.
What's the deal with this Fily Frenzy these days. People are gobbling them up and left and right....
