A Hone/Razor Collectors For Sale Thread

[Razorfeld]

Jimmy, I think what Frankenstein is looking or hoping for is a thread or section that would host the posting and sales of member's goods to avoid the eBay situations. And I'm pretty sure he isn't imagining the classifieds as the place to do it. I'm getting the impression that what he is looking for is an active exchange about collections and sales from it or possible purchases to add to it based on member's collections. But then, like you say, I could be wrong.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Not sure though if anyone else would be interested. And to be clear we're talking about the expensive stuff.

Thanks Richard, I didn't quite understand the OP. You've cleared it up for me.

Won't fly I'm afraid. It would be too loose to define parameters for what is 'expensive stuff', and would open the door for advertising violations.

Now one member, who knows that another is seeking high end razors, stones, whatever ....... may send a PM letting said member know he has this or that going on the block.

I personally have listed a WTB/WTT in our SRP Classifieds and come up with more than one obscure object of desire. So if anyone wants to do the same the effort might bear fruit.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, or as an old ironworker friend of mine used to say, "If you don't shake the tree, you don't get no fruit."

"Cold" PM'ing has worked well for me, both buying and selling. No rules saying you can't contact a member via PM and say
"That's a mighty fine ________, wanna sell it?" Or "Hey, heard you were looking for___________, I'd sell you mine"

So that's how you snatched that red scaled Iwasaki!

I'm not the red scaled Iwasaki guy.

But I did grab a black scaled Iwasaki this way

Funnin' ya...
The Iwasaki knife dude dropped in and dropped out. That was a beautiful example of the art. I am all in on the refined metallurgy of the Japanese Western combined with flamboyant scales. Just a cool combination, like the 'cheesy' scales on a Fili...

Mike speaks the truth. As someone shows something you like, you might like/need it more than they do. Also, if someone is looking for something and you have 2? Shoot them a PM if you care to part with one.
The key is to keep it private and off the general forum.
Nothing wrong with asking.

Sure, seems ok to me. What can it hurt? If nothing comes of it, you may have just made the guys day by coveting his goods.
I do think of a fun post I made once of some museum grade razors that I said I got at a one table yard sale. I got a very polite PM axing me if perhaps I might just want to let go of those razors for double what I paid for them...I said I paid $75.00 for them

[WW243]

Well Tom, it might be difficult to ascertain whether someone likes/needs something they possess more than I do.
I'm going to try it though: PM to Dude...Dude, I'm not going to mince words here Dude. I like that razor you posted. In fact I'm pretty sure I like it more than you do. Be willing to bet money on that....whaddya say? Bet you half a yard that I like it more than you....I'd bet you half a yard that I need it more than you too, but I wouldn't want to take all your munny.
