How NOT to create an ad
Ok guys, here is an ad we pulled from our classifieds. I am withholding the name of th eperson who posted it because that is not the point of this thread. However, it is a prime example of the type of ad that we don't want. If I see more ads like this I am going to bring out my admin hammer. The text in bold red is mine.
Available are 5 straight razors that are in need of re-grinding due to chips on the blade. I think all or most of these blades could be saved; they simply need a little TLC and they should be back in service!
I don't think so. What these blades need is euthanasia.
A few of these are REALLY nice blades:
Really...?
-C.F. Wolfertz & Co 5/8" / Allentown, PA
-PAX 5/8" 189 Solingen Germany H. Eicker & Sohne
-9/16" Jessops Steel / Henry Althoff Co Geneva, NY USA
-Keith Simmons & Co / JNashville, TN / Made in Germany / Keen Edge
-Lilput / Wald Solingen / Ern 2375
These are priced at $13 each $5 for shipping. I think these are more than fair - properly restored, some of these blades could sell for $100 each.
Yeah I don't think so. There is not a single one in this lot that can be restored to a good condition. The only blade the looks halfway decent is the bottom one, and that has been shortened. There is not a single blade in this collection that could be considered even 'fair'. The above description is purely misleading and worthy of used car salesmen.
Any questions, please PM. Thanks!Last edited by Bruno; 10-27-2010 at 04:47 PM.
