MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

9 Upvotes

Hi r/Shave_Bazaar, it's your friendly neighborhood mod team here. We've been chatting with the mods of some other BST forums and they gave us an idea for an anti-scam/consumer protection rule that we wanted to run by you.

The new rule being proposed is:

Any WTS deal posted by someone with less than 5 confirmed trades (per the bot/flair) must use PayPal Goods & Services.

Why are we proposing this rule? Because modmail tells us that we've still got scammers stealing from our users. The scammers tend to be people with no (or very few) confirmed trades and they convince people to use forms of payment that offer no protection to the buyer. Our hope is that putting a rule like this in place will result in a significant reduction in the number of users getting scammed.

How will this be enforced? Users are already able to report any post that violates sub rules. We hope you'll report violations of this rule as well. Offending posts will be taken down and repeat offenders can earn themselves a ban.

Why draw the line at 5? We've got 4 different levels of flair: < 3 trades, < 5 trades, < 10 trades, and 10+ trades. We did a quick survey of the first 300 users on the flair list and found that only 20 of them had 10+ trades. When we look at 5+ trades, 43 more of you joined the club. Giving the top 20% of traders a pass on enforced G+S seemed like a decent place to draw the line but we're totally open to further discussion.

What about the G+S fees? That's really up to the person making the sale. There are plenty of online fee calculators that will tell you exactly what the fees are for a given price point. You're free to roll the fees into your prices, ask the buyer to do the math and add it in, or just eat the fees if you're feeling generous.

What about other questions that you haven't already answered? Well, post your questions below and we can discuss them.

What do you think of this rule proposal?

MOD Please Don't Get Scammed

45 Upvotes

Just making a quick reminder post of common sense rules when buying/selling on reddit.

  1. If someone sends you a DM without commenting on your post, offering you wares, that's a red flag - ask them to comment.

  2. Check post history. Feel free to ask on r/wetshaving in the Daily Questions thread if you need to. Check the username on the Universal Scammer List

  3. Use methods of payment where you have a recourse e.g Paypal G&S, especially for amounts that are non trivial to you.

  4. Take your time to make a purchase, research, do due diligence.

WTS [WTS] Karve CB SS with B/C plates+ stand

Upvotes

Hi all,

Looking to sell a Karve CB SS with B and C SB plates, plus matching stand.
3.5” argyle handle and wide body top cap.

I recently acquired a brass model and have another on the way. Also have an Athena which I reach for more. So letting go of this one.

Includes original packaging. Condition is excellent, no dents/dings

https://imgur.com/a/XdgBkcR

Asking $340 shipped CONUS

Price Note: keep in mind there is a 50% tariff that will supposedly be taking effect on Canadian razors in Aug. Karve actually sent out a message for the MTO CB orders for brass/copper addressing this (see images). SS in the future might be significantly more expensive, if it ever becomes available again.

Want to give DE razors and shavettes away

I am giving away a bunch of DE razors (some vintage) and shavettes to anyone, especially someone relatively new to the hobby. I have switched over to SE safety razors. They have to live in the continental USA. Once received they should be cleaned (they are not dirty but I recommend). Once you get them if you want to help me with the cost of shipping that would be okay. I would prefer to send them all in one batch. PM me if interested and I will send details (and photos of what I am sending.

All razors have been cleaned and sanitized. The Black Beauty and Grand Shave King have been polished as well. The Grand Shave King is the original, OG double open comb razor and is in superb condition. The Aristocrat is in beautiful condition! A lot better than most I see. The buyer can choose one of 2 cases (I know which one I'd choose!) or take both for an extra $10. The Goodwill looks decent, and the handle does have a crack. However, the handles are fairly common and easily replaced. The Black Beauty looks very nice with some spotty plating loss. Shoot me a message with any questions or interest!

For sale is my Henson AL13 Aggressive +++ in grey (the only option lol) - $50. ***SOLD**\*

Not super widely available, but can be found in a couple places (https://www.razoremporium.com/henson-shaving-al13-double-edge-safety-razor-aggressive/).

I have had nothing but excellent shaves (head and face), love the color, and am only passing it on as I've joined the Titanium club. Aggressive for a henson, but very very safe and efficient. I want her to find a loving home...

Razor is in excellent condition with only a few minor blemishes from regular use (really on the handle only).

Shipping is $5 CONUS and includes G&S fees - I'll throw in a pack of blades and random unused soap sample as a small bonus.

Thanks!

Hello all,
I am looking to sell a few items

-Dovo pearl 5/8 Solingen straight razor (originally purchased \~ $260 USD) ; will sell for $200 OBO

-Dovo razor strop leather (originally purchased \~ $90 USD) ; will sell for $75 OBO

-Norton water stone kit (includes 4k/8k water stone as well as a flattening stone) (originally purchased \~ $150 USD) ; will sell for $100 OBO

I thought straight razor would be the life for me but I don’t like shave or I’m not proficient enough and I ultimately lost interest in the lifestyle. Looking to have this go to someone who would appreciate these well crafted tools.

Priority and the greatest discount will be given to those interested in purchasing the entire set, but I am open to separating the pieces as well. I'm not entirely sure of the prices of these items on the resale market so I am open for negotiating. Items will be shipped within 24 hrs from purchase from Raleigh, NC.
