The flip side to this is, some guy finds a box of razors in the attic, joins the forum and sells the non shave ready razors to newbies who now have a bad experience with their first razor and now have to spend more money getting it honed. The forum software can't tell a good forum user/seller like yourself from the example I just laid out. With the post count and or join date, the attic razor guy will go to Ebay where someone (at least I do) assumes the razors need honing.

2) My opinion is that the only way to develop a Good Reputation is to do Deals. I could post for hours every day on every corner of this site and still be the kind of flake that describes items poorly, ships such that it promotes damage, or goes on vacation after receiving your money and not updating you thus leaving you hanging for a couple weeks wondering what is going on.

In fact, I would have been more than fine with an answer like, "Rules are rules, yes your quote initially is correct. Deal with it." I just wasn't prepared for the energy behind this topic and so was trying to do damage control with subsequent Replys.

I'm just stoked about this and wanting to learn, do, ec 'more'... No harm no foul, I think. ??
