Thread: What kind of stone is this?

Very prety CF. It would be quite interesting to test it specificaly the inclusion in the middle. Normaly they are no probs but this one looks too much different from what I have seen so far.

I am sorry I create such an upset crowd of people on this forum. I really don't know what kind of stone is, so I ask before i decide to buy something. As for buy it now , is part of this Ebay game, and the price I offered plus the shipping to USA is not a cheap one. So , Piet in the future please don't try to give lesson on the Ebay matter, I really appreciate if you keep it for yourself.
As for the price going up, what is the matter, if you really like it or need it
bid 500$ and have it.
I try it to keep the posting here just at a tech level. Some of you guys been so helpfull, just please keep the answers to the object.
Regards

Livio, I think you not only need some Ebay lessons but also some about etiquette. This is a public forum and I'm just trying to be helpful.

Nothing at all. Because we are talking about things that are relatively scarce and no longer in production of any kind, the value is entirely subjective. (one of the reasons the forum so strongly bans price estimates)

Whether it goes for $5 or $5000 doesn't make any difference as long as the buyer and seller are both satisfied.


As far as etiquette, let's all just breathe and try to remember that the freedom to talk about anything we want (as long as it's on-topic) cuts both ways. livio has every right in the world to post question that might bring attention to auctions as long as they're honest questions, even if it makes somebody else have a harder time bidding.

Likewise, Piet has every right in the world to be annoyed by it, and even to share his annoyance as long as things don't turn nasty.

Another good tip on etiquette is that 'tone' is often lost in text. Taking the worst possible interpretation of what someone posts leads to ad-hitlerum posts.

That's a cool stone. Whoever gets it. Good luck guys.

It is a purdy one.

It also looks well cared for. Older hones

be a good one.

Enjoy it.

Sorry to say offer £40 for buy it now for CF of this size? You must be joking. That is part of that tech level. It is not difficult to know what these stones were lately going for. They going in rate about one a week in auctions and about same outside.

Nice stone.

From what I hear if you use it with oil and make a lot of laps it rewards you the most.

Have fun with it, it's very nice.

livio, seriously, youre now running about ebay asking public questions asking every tom dick and harry with a sharpening stone is it good for razor sharpening!
youre going to ruin every auction at this rate, cool your jets and just let the auctions run without all that nonsense, youre breaking ebay rules too with all your buy it now capers!

really beginning to be annoying
