Thread: Confession of a bottom feeding Bay dweller

With both pockets shallow and one with holes in it, when I do get the Ebay rash, I look for what might for a lot of good reasons, be overlooked. It is risky and of course, I have been burned. I'm not sure anyone needs to know this stuff but here it goes anyway, wait, I take that back, don't do this but maybe there is something to learn that is not a hard lesson. Recently I sniped a "Superb Group of Three Antique Ivory Beige Colored Celluloid Straight Razors." This was the first flag for the bottom feeder......the seller really did not know what they were selling.....many tip offs.....the description is overblown, they had no more straights in their store, they took photos (these are pretty good, sometimes bad photos are your friends), photos of full blade one side only, and no width given for the blades (guessing 5/8ths) Also some blob on one pin and crap replacement scales on the Swede. Price with shipping was $64.50. I figure is even one out of the three can be honed and give a decent shave I'll consider myself 'winning' this auction. Now the wait until this Tuesday to open the treasure chest. Wish me luck!
