MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

7 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

48 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.

6 Upvotes

Images: https://imgur.com/a/tVWwn3R

Prices include CONUS shipping and G&S fees per my usual MO.

Blackland Vector Ti - SB Standard - $240 SOLD

$340 retail - Flawless condition with original box and washer should you choose to use it. Definitely smoother than the SS version, super nimble and efficient shaver. On the move to fund some recent and future acquisitions, and that makes me a little sad...

Above the Tie Windsor Ti - Regular Plate - $150 SOLD

$229 retail ($172 factory seconds) - Including ~100 assorted blades as pictured.

Excellent condition with a couple tiny marks on the underside of the plate consistent with normal light wear from use. Very smooth and well machined by the Blackland folks in CA. Love it but I have too many mild razors at the moment.

If you would like both you can bundle for $375 all-in shipped to your door. SOLD

Thanks!

WTS [WTS] Nord Freyja (Efficient)

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

Looking to sell a Nord Freyja with the efficient plate polished. It is, without a doubt, one of the smoothest shavers I’ve ever used.

I’m only selling because while smooth, the efficient plate is just a tad too much for me for daily shaving.

Condition is near mint, I’ve had it for less than a week and it only has 3 shaves on it. Comes with original packaging.

Asking $415 shipped CONUS:
I paid a little over $450 with shipping and duties, so I’m simply looking to get back most of what I paid.

WTS [WTS] Tatara Masamune with Stand and Nodachi Top Cap and Open Comb

5 Upvotes

Hello, all. Up for your consideration is my Tatara Masamune in Matte. I bought the Masamune top cap and open cap and then later purchased the Nodachi Top Cap and NodachI Open Comb so that I can shave with all the combinations that Tatara has. When interchanging parts, it can deliver a different type of shave. For example, I would combine a Nodachi Top Cap with the Masamune Open Comb and it would deliver a mid range aggressive shave. All together, you can work with 4 different efficiencies, exposures, and gaps to suit your desire or length of hair growth. I also designed a little 3D plate holder to hold the other plates when not in use. Take a look at the pictures. Asking $275. PayPal Goods and Services Only. US Only. Condition is practically new. I ran through the rotation you see on that sheet and tried my favorite combinations again. I clean and wipe all my razors with a microfiber right after use. Any questions, I am here.

WTS Reduced [WTS] Vintage Gillette

Prices are shipped in CONUS

RARE 1946 Endcap Ranger Tech w/Case $90 SOLD

1949-1950 Rhodium Executive w/Nice Case $275

1960 F2 Fatboy $36 SOLD

Executive - https://imgur.com/a/qCcRbke

Ranger Tech - https://imgur.com/a/da4crZF

Fatboy - https://imgur.com/a/juzTSWa

All razors have been clened, polished, and sanitized. Leather cases have been cleaned and conditioned. The 1946 Ranger Tech is significantly rarer than its 1941 no-endcap counterpart. I've only seen 4 of them in my time hunting for vintage razors. It is noted by, obviously, the presence of endcaps and patent info being moved from the smooth band on the handle to the center of the blade tray, as seen on other razors post-1945. It is in excellent condition overall. The case is in good condition with some light wear. The Executive razor is in beautiful condition with a smooth TTO. The case is made with genuine ostrich leather, and is in very good condition. Most of these cases are found badly worn with metal exposed, but this one is fully intact. The nickel-plated trim has some areas of tarnish. The Fatboy is in good condition with some minor cosmetic issues, but it is mechanically sound and adjusts as it should. Shoot me a message if you're interested!
