I just now got this message from her: "i put to colors down but i never promised which color you will i apoligise but th are all ready packed for mondays mailing."

$35 for an 8/8 Filly is a great deal and I'll be happy with whatever I get, but this note seemed kinda lame.

In all fairness, it could mean just what it said - that she had already boxed them up by the time she got your e-mail. Maybe the price is because they fell off a truck and she wanted to get them out of the house before the cops showed up?

Seems like a reputable seller, though, so hopefully we'll all come out allright.

You're totally right JerseyLawyer. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, etc.

Guys, can you please stop talking about those Fillarmonicas? If I'm already not feeling bad enough...

Robert would you post some pics somewhere? Like to see that Uber Razor.

Check the general forum on SER.

I'm having browser issues there and in any case Robert is a member of this community as well.

Perhaps these Filarmonicas should stand as a reference point for those bent on training all eBay sellers in full knowledge of the straight. I've encountered some crummy sellers over the years, but not everyone listing a well-worn razor as being in 'very good condition for its age,' is trying to be sneaky. If this seller knew enough about straights, those 20 Buy it Now Filarmonicas would have been put up one at a time and left to run its course- probably ending at prices a lot higher. And some lucky guy wouldn't have landed that $9.99 Buy it Now Goldedge that had been listed a few weeks ago. (I managed to make off with neither, btw, and was in no way pleased to see the comment 'Even better than described' in the seller's feedback on the Dubl Duck.)

If every seller knew exactly what they could get, there would be no great deals to be had on eBay, and isn't that the point? Hey. Where'd this soapbox come from? My apologies...
