    Default Beware the Filly on the bay!

    I noticed this Filly on the bay.
    Looking closer I thought I saw a crack towards the toe that goes an awfully long way into the blade.
    I contacted the seller & he confirmed it. It does indeed have a crack in it!
    I don't think he even imagines that anyone would consider actually using one!

    Ok, the wretched link's not working, so here's the item number.

    Thanks Ben and Lee. What a shame. I must say that if the crack hadn't been pointed out I wouldn't have picked up on it. I am not in the market anyhow but it is a reminder to me that I must look closely when I am considering an ebay buy.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thanks Lee. Can't fathom why mine didn't!
    It was the very fine dark line that was repeated on both sides that gave the game away.

    the seller has a very interesting user name...
    that Filly looks very maligned

    Looks like he removed the listing. Well done Ben!

    Nope, it's still there.

    That blade has surely been through a lot...
