Thread: Gloat

Jimmy reminded me about something I saw once and I wanted to add one point. Just food for thought here... I'm not saying this in reference to the razor in question or the OP, but for general info/warning.

I have seen a certain "famous" pakistani brand razor with "solingen" on the tang.

Any new fellas reading this who is getting ready to go eBaying... don't buy without doing your homework. If a razor says solingen on it, you should still check it out to make sure it's a good buy.

I totally agree! First purchase a future ebayer should entertain is a "Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings" or other razor book. This one seems to be the best that I have.

In general there are loopholes and ways around most things. Often times taking a product and selling it through a foreign office or doing minimal manufacture work entitles you to claim an origin that may not be genuine but it is legal. It varies from country to country so you have to know local law.

You know that watch you buy that says Swiss made on it? It might very well have a Swiss Mvmt but everything else might be sourced in the far east.

I may consider selling a few of my razors on the fleebay when I get some time.

You know the policy on SRP is to confine talk of razor sales to the ebay forum or list them in the classifieds. If you want to put them on ebay after it they are listed you can start a thread announcing it but you cannot bump it. That would be in the ebay forum.

Otherwise a fixed price sale in the SRP classifieds if you have the requisite post count.
