I just took a look at the first 150 or so straight razors from eBay sorted on shortest time to expiration. It was a real struggle to find a non Zeepk item. Has the world changed so suddently?

Just stick in -zeepk in the search box. I have a lot of "-"'s in my normal searches. Somewhere there are threads with lists of exceptions that various members use. I actually need to update mine...
Thanks for the hint concerning searching under "-Zeepk". Works like a charm.
Where do you put the '-Zeepk' in and who is zeepk?
I hope this carries over in a workable manner - here's the link from my filters on the ebay vintage straight razor area. If it works then after the page is up, just bookmark it and call it smething like Ebay VintageSR Filtered. If the link doesn't work let me know and I'll paste the filters into a message. I filter Zeepk as well as a ton of others - and use alternate spelling for most of them since the sellers seem to be as bad as spammers with their tricks.
-derby -zeepk -kriegar -Tomahawk -kreigar -kreiger -krieger -shavette -szco -maxam -todd - master usa, great deals on on eBay!
Don't forget "-wig" :gl:
That's funny, I've been wishing I could plug in "-zeepk" to ebay's search for weeks now, I just assumed it wasn't supported. Thanks for the tip!Quote:

Thank you for your attention.

I'll have to try the "-" with some new searches. I just ended up doing searches for the makers of the razors I was interested in like "straight razor c-mon" etc. I know I miss some good ones here and there but after my first e-bay search of "straight razor" wich at the time brougt up almost 2000 well.... I do that for the sellers too like shamrockshaving, cedarfurnitureman yada, yada.
Instead of the searches, use the categories. Click Collectables, look for the Vanity and Shaving category and click Shaving. Then look over on the left and click Straight Razors.
Anyone have any good ideas for how we can warn newbies on ebay not to buy these razors? Mabye do a SR buying guide, and list them every hour or so on ebay for .01?

Is there anything else you do? I tried that last night and still ended up with 1300 someodd razors including the zeepkhjkl (however you spell it)Quote:

I probably will do a string with the "-" list so I can get a good overview of whats out there. We'll see.
