Thread: Third time for a coti that sold for over $100 twice ?

That's interesting, I have never seen that before and when I saw this on ebay I was certain is was fake. Thanks for the pics in the other thread showing the escher with the folded label.

Funny thing is I'm really tempted to go for the coticule because it is so unusual. I know it is too small and too much bbw to be worth much but it demonstrates the layers really well. Here is one that Jasper Kade sold awhile ago. If it had just been the little slurry stone with all of the manganese I would have jumped on it like a kangaroo but I didn't want the larger stone too. Only a true haddict could understand.

We understand Jimmy. Honership is haddictive

"Didn't want the larger stone too."



What happened?

Did the moon get bumped out of its orbit?
Did the Large Hadron Collider set off an apocalyptic micro-black hole to alter the laws of physics?
Does Jimmy need a CT scan?

The spirit was willing but the bank account was weak.

OK, I can definitely relate to that. There's been a lot of belt tightening at my house lately too. Of course, I just had to buy that new Baldor. The Shopsmith three wheeled buffer experiment had gone on long enough and I'm going to have to start unloading some razors. Maybe even a few hones. I have a few (ahem) duplicates of barber hones I could let go.

That was a pretty coticule pair though. The little one looked amazing but the bigger one looked pretty good too. Of course, I like all coticules. They deserve to be appreciated.

Careful there Ron. Don't dilute the market too much. You could cause eBay prices to plummet.

Naw, I'm not worried. I figure my hone bank is too big to fail.

Back to the point of the stone in question. Recently I have won an item for very favourable price. Paid by paypal straight away just to find few hours later that money were returned with excusing email folloving it that the item got misposted to someone else. I went to give a negative feedback and whoops there was no possibility to give any feedback. The item was cancelled and disapeared from my account. Perhaps there is a loophole in the ebay system which is being exploited by people. Your item did not make enough money just return the money and go again. Who knows.

Yup, I had that same thing happen. Over a year ago I won a lot of about 20 razors that included a few Dubl Ducks and couple of big W&Bs and some others that all seemed to be in pretty good condition. I think my winning bid was around $175 and I was very happy with that price. I paid immediately and payment was returned that same day. The seller claimed that she had forgotten the package on the roof of her car on her way to the post office.



Now, I had a suspicion that she was scamming me so I told her to just tell me how much she wanted for the lot. She of course took great offense at this but I repeated my offer. She actually threatened to report me to eBay even though by that time she already had re-listed the same damn razors individually! Of course, I reported her to eBay and, of course, was told there was nothing they could do since she had refunded my money. I figure someone contacted her after the auction close and told her the value of the lot so she decided to capitalize on it.
