I happened to notice this razor:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6539251556

with this description: "This is an old straight razor in a Mayflower Works Boston, Mass. Razor. It has a slightly chipped blade. Otherwise it is perfect. It is hand carved."

Thinking a little education might be in order, I sent the seller a note through the ask the seller a question utility.

You asked:
"Fortunately, the picture was clear enough to make your description of "slighly chipped blade but otherwise perfect" a joke instead of more bad feedback ready to come at you. It's like listing a house that's a pile of rubble after a twister hit as a "handyman special - delightful but needs work". If there was an adequate description of the scales (handle), and there really WAS carving on it, you might have been able to get something out of it, anyway. I was contemplating buying it for the handle (the blade is completely destroyed), but since we don't know what material it is and there's no evidence whatsoever of handcarving on it, I'll pass. 100% satisfaction guaratnees are better than nothing, but they don't replace fair and honest descriptions."


response? (why am I not surprised)

"Its Ebayers like you that make me sick. You don't have anything but negative comments to make. Life is too short to spend it surfing ebay and whining about items. If you don't like it, Don't buy it. I think you ned to look in a mirror and see deeply that you need to talk to people in a respectable manner. That is probably why you do not get any in life. Have a nice day. I will go back to ebay. A wonderful thing for me and my friends. Probably not for you. So go back to your computer and find some one else to bitch at. ECV$ME!"


Everyone who would like to do business with this warm and wonderful lady, please raise your hand.
