Thread: eBay just dropped my auction due to ivory scales

I will. I just hate to pop up on the classifieds all the time. I see it as a free service here that I shouldn't abuse, whereas I'm paying my own way for the service on eBay.

There are a few guys who almost always have razors for sale in our Classifieds. I've never seen that as an abuse. Since we so often recommend to new users that they avoid ebay and look at our Classifieds, it seems the right thing to do to list there. When I finally get off my butt and cull the herd, I'll have 15 or 20 blades and will sell them all here. It's never occurred to me that that would be an abuse, unless I wasn't selling good stuff.

On the eBay front, I picked this up just to get at the scales, thought they listed them as bone but I guess they did not...OLD STRAIGHT RAZOR WEBSTER & STONE ANCHOR BRAND GERMANY MANGANESE STEEL | eBay

Regarding the Classifieds - I'm with roughkype, I would much rather buy from the Classifieds than from ebay and the more choices there are the better. You know it will come shave ready, and if you don't yet trust your honing skills thats $$ and time that you don't have to spend. You can also ask questions and get honest feedback from the vendors.

The day fur and other natural resorces become banned on the bay will be a sad day, there is nothing wrong with using natural resorces as long as they are used wisly,
