    I think you must have 50 posts before you can post in the member classifieds. I think ebay would be your best bet. You probably shouldn't solicit sales in this forum though.

    tumtatty, I thought he did a really nice job of tap dancing around solicitation. He said IF someone were to offer money, he probably would sell them. haha. He didn't offer anything for sale....at least, not blatantly. haha. But you're right on both counts. My advice was flawed. He can't sell them through member classifieds yet, and he can't sell them through a post like this either.

    But stick around, enjoy the site, meet the site requirements, and then you can sell through classifieds. Or do like tumtatty said and post them to Ebay. IMHO, Ebay is gonna get you what you're looking for from your original purchase. But like I said before, this place is fun. And restoring is fun. So regardless of what you do with them, stick around! Just be sure and read the guidelines and rules.

    Grinder, welcome to SRP! The guys thus far have been very helpful from what I can see, I hope you find time to immerse yourself in the wonderful community we all share.


    Thank you joe. Yes there are site rules and most of these are to insure courteous conduct, as has been mentioned solicitation of any kind is frowned upon in the open forums.

    Thank you, kelly

    nun2sharp/kelly regjoe/,I hope no one was offended by my posts,I originally came here to research straights...I aquirred a few and wanted to know just what I had...quality ,value,workmanship etc.after chatting a bit my interests shifted more to restoring and trying a shave with them...The ppl here are very helpful and knowledgable,I appreciated thier input...I took my best looking razor and honed it and stropped it good ,I shaved with a straight for the first time this evening...what a rush..I really enjoyed it ..though time consuming it was well worth it ,I'm really excited about my razors now...I hope to be a regular here and try to contribute to this site ,I have enjoyed researching and chatting with the members here ,you all are good ppl and again "SORRY" for treading on that thin line...heat the towel..lather up..!!!!!!

    Not offended in the least my friend. I'm glad you're picking up the straight razor. And I think we're gonna get faster with practice.
