Thread: Used but not abused

Don't worry Gareth, you'll only be shunned by the SRP community 'till the end of days and no offspring of our loins will be given the name Gareth in memory of Gareth the Misposter It's all good. Even more seasoned members mispost from time to time and it should become more frequent with the new forums added. In any case there are plenty of people who will make the correction, so there's no harm done.

I sent my thought to the seller:

If this razor is used but not abused, can you tell me where the rest of the blade is? This is junk. The scales might be usable, but the blade is garbage. You should be ashamed of yourself for advertising something like this. In fact, you should be banned from selling.

Well, the seller got back to me on this and says it is a "corn" razor.

And he threatened with a complaint. I sent my reply:

You may wish to withdraw the complaint. This notch on the blade is too irregular to be a design feature. In addition to that the "corn notch" cannot be sharpened by any means available. You are obviously trying to pass off damaged goods as a working blade. I AM a user and collector, so if you wish to report me as well, I'll be glad to discuss this with the e-bay staff. If I were you, I'd just sell this as a damaged collectors item. That way you will maintain a decent level of trust with your current and potential customers.

He said that he had filed a complaint on me as well. Okay, let him file.

That was the complaint I referred to. However, I'd LOVE for him to file one against me. People like him undermine e-bay's credibility. What a tool.

I got a reply from him.. Kinda cute:

THANKFULLY IT HAS SOLD , KNOW IT ALL'S LIKE YOU AND THIS OTHER POLICE OFFICER OF THE SYBER SPACE SERVE A PURPOSE, A GOOD LAUGH , OH I REPORTED YOU AS REQUESTED AS A STALKER,,,

I don't know who he sold it to as the auction has ended and there are 0 bids. Maybe to the Martians whose signal his cheese-hat is picking up. If he keeps reporting people like this, noone will take him seriously when he comes across his soul-mate.

I can see the headlines now, straight razor newbie gets moderator thrown off eBay!

I've caused a bit of fuss with my second thread on SRP haven't I?

Gareth

They are not idiots to throw me out because I tried to honestly educate a seller who tried to sell inferior product and pass the defect off as a design feature. Sellers with a heck of a lot more muscle than him gave me very positive ratings, which are at 100% positive now, so they know I'm a good customer. If he reports everyone who complains about his b.s., then they must be getting tired of his complaints by now.

The tool even posted your question on the listing page:
