    I only buy stuff off ebay also.
    But i going to be alot more careful as to
    what i bid on.
    I was so pissed two days ago when the hand axes.
    i bought off their the blades where not shiny in photo.
    the moron sharpen them at 45 degree angel
    and unevenly. Why would i want to use them to spit wood.
    i have a spitting maul for that.
    but it just stinks. Sending it back no the choice cause
    well one of the hands was forged in sweden.
    i like having axes and othere things from alot of countries.

    I don't even buy stuff i want off.
    craigslist.
    Due to the people who post stuff.
    i would want to buy.
    never answer their emails.
    There in the same town must times i feel it's
    a waste of time to look at stuff on craigslist.

I've got a rating of 1574 transactions with 100% feedback (not even one neutral rating). I've sold around 200 straight razors on ebay in the last 6 months of various sizes and conditions and this is the first sale that a buyer seems to have had a problem with. I guess you just can't please all of the people all of the time.
    I think you've got a great track record then. One bad apple on 1574 apples, many vendors of pretty much anything would kill for a ratio like that, I reckon.

    Although in this case I'm jumping on the comma ambiguity band wagon, with a side note that you do show the hone wear clearly in the pictures. But then again, the hone wear is polished up to a shine as well, I see how some people might miss it. Hence, personally I would have added 'visible hone wear' or something to that extent, as it does matter to some people when buying razors.

    That being said, it still looks like a nice razor to me.
