Newbies: Ebay auction to avoid

[GentsInstinct]

Scratch that. It does look like a Senator. I was thrown off by the patent number versus the year claimed. Darn, should have bought it at that BIN price too. Looking out for others cause me to miss a Senator!! Grrrrrrrrr

Posting links to Buy-it-now listings is okay (at least, as far as I know). And it probably still had that option when you posted it, but it appears someone has put in a bid now. So, it will probably need to be deleted. Anyways, I saw it earlier and it appears to be a Senator. But the serial number and patent date provided by the seller doesn't make sense for a Senator. Hmm ...

says the date on handle reads 2005? thats a little out dated i think.

For my part, I wouldn't buy from a seller with less than a 99.5% rating, either.

Yes, BIN links are acceptable.

I agree. Especially if they are at 99.5% with less than 500 or more FB's.

it looks like its still available, but the numbers dont match the senators numbers of 400621, the ones he gave are a 1921 single ring. maybe hes reading it from the case?

Probably so. At least you all know I wasn't crazy and actually was thrown off by something!

true that, he emailed me back admiting his mistake here is copy of his email....
"Well I'm learning so very much about antique razors since I found this thing. The problem was with my not examining it closely enough so what I thought I read, was similar to another document I had in hand. After all the questions I re-examined it with a much stronger glass. In short, I screwed up the initial listing quite badly. Live and learn. This looks to be a Senator model afterall. "

Looks like it would clean up well or be a good candidate for replating. Did you say that wasn't the original case?

Folks, at this point this appears to be a discussion of an active ebay listing, and thus disallowed. With thanks to the OP for attempting to help our newer members, I'm locking this thread.
