Ebay Search
I quite often look on ebay for razors and like to just put in the term Straight Razor. Now my problem is it pulls up all the crap zepak razors and all the other junk which we should never buy as well as the good stuff. Is there a way to eliminate the junk results with a search term.
Thanks in advance

It is a little extra typing but if you use the operator "-" right before a word it will omit results that have it. So your search might look like this:
straight razor -zeepk
This will give you all matching straight razors that do not have 'zeepk' in it. You can do multiple words in the same way. Like this.
straight razor -zeepk -dollar

Yeah, it gets goofy.Here's my search string:
straight razor -(folding knife,flaming lady,B&B,master, masterusa, kriegar, zeepk, krieger, mib, disposable, raze-tac, 440, G77, G110, G109, stylist, sweeney, gift, "new red", "new white", "new black", durham, strap, changeable,"vintage style", wig, hybrid, tomahawk)
I'm sure there are more I could put in there.

Thanks for the string. A little copy and paste is in order.

I swear that there are more "crap" ones than good ones. Seems like I tried to add more, but it could only be just so long, then wouldn't take any more.hehehe Alan I thought my search string was bad

Use the search words: Vintage Straight Razor
It will narrow your results down to what you want.Last edited by zepplin; 09-16-2010 at 02:16 PM. Reason: left out a letter

What I do to avoid the junk is after the search comes up is in the column to the right select "USED" and non of the new junk comes up.
