Why would that be aby more than a forum? ... Our members deal like gentlemen.
I am confident we'll continue to act like gentlemen, respecting each other's viewpoints and rights. Over the years I've participated in a number of hobbyist-oriented forums that eventually had to shut down their Buy/Sell functions due to constant rule violations and member squabbling. It got pretty ugly, many new (competing) forums were spawned by disgruntled members, etc. I'd hate to see that happen here.

I think there's terrific merit to having a facility for buying/selling/trading str8 razors without the pressures and uncertainty that is prevalent in ebay. But when there's money involved, it seems individuals always appear with the intent to take advantage of a good thing. For example, currently we recommend to newbies that purchasing from a forum member is a "safe" way to get a quality razor at a fair price. If the classifieds, buy/sell, or whatever, become more popular then the purveyors of POS razors will become members and list their wares. Squabbling will commence when a well-meaning member posts a recommendation to a newbie to buy "quality" from member X instead of the "POS" being sold by member Y... :shock: Assuming the group continues to grow, we'll eventually need to manage our way through these rough spots. I'm just suggesting we plan ahead.
