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.

WTS [WTS] Blackland Blackbird Polished

3 Upvotes

Hello, all. I am looking to sell my Blackland Blackbird Polished. This is the regular plate (not the lite). I had the open comb plate 24k gold plated by Razor Emporium. It’s expensive to do but it really came out beautiful. (I have another Blackbird that is full Gold plated so this piece is kind of redundant in my collection) I have the original box. This piece may have been used twice or three times. I don’t like the heavy plate as much as the lite plate. I will put a Razor Emporium Polishing Cloth inside of it so you can polish it when you get it but there is basically no mileage on this thing. Just a side note, no stand is included so this is for the razor only with the gold plated open comb baseplate. I’m looking for $200. PayPal goods and services only and I’ll pay shipping.

WTS [WTS] Alpha Evolution Ti w/ Stand, ATT Ti Windsor Collection, Henson Ti22++ & Freebies

4 Upvotes

Hi All,

My baby girl will be born in a few months and these sales will be restoring some goodwill with the pregnant lady just in time for the third trimester! 🙌🏻

Starting off my final shave den clear out with the titanium lot.

These beautiful razors were each only used a handful of times and are in like new condition. I have decided Aluminum is my preferred metal.

🪒Razors🪒

- Alpha Evolution Ti with the matching stand - $275 - Beautiful razor, matching stand takes it to the next level.

- Henson Ti22++ (medium) - $200 - Used once - Grippier handle than the Aluminum - VERY NICE!! (Box received mangled from Henson)

- Above the Tie Windsor Collection - $275 - Scratch and Dent, some slight marks on the base plates are the only imperfections I have found, with the Regular plate having it the worst. Still a beautiful set and unless you are looking, you wouldn’t be able to tell. Please let me know if you need more photos.

All prices listed include CONUS shipping and G&S.

Freebies!!! If you buy two or all, I will throw in a used twice A&E Ultima 2 Spartacus w/ Splash or a used thrice Stirling Gentlemen with two matching balms. First purchase gets a used once Stirling Haverford Shave Soap.

Please let me know if you have questions. Will ship same or next day from CA.

I will be posting some Stainless in the near future as well, so look out for an ATT SS Windsor w/ Colossal, SS Polished Blackbird with additional Ti SB Lite Plate, and an ATT SS S1 Slant. Let me know if you want to possibly bundle any of these with a titanium and I’ll get you a price and some pics.

WTS Reduced [WTS] shaving odds and ends

1 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/Fl3DKSk

For $50 shipped I have a bundle of different aftershaves and a soap set I want to unload. Post is at It's final reduction AS A BUNDLE. But feel free to contact me about separate items. It's just clutter to me at this point.

In this bundle you get:

Noble otter- Eros shave set 90% remaining

Barrister and man kalyptos aftershave 80% left

Zingari man- Explorer 80% left

The Goodfellas smile Inferno aftershave (new)

fine accoutrements platinum shave cream (new and still sealed)

The fine accoutrements shave cream is from when fine accoutrements didn't suck. It smells stronger, doesn't have the base funk the new soaps have and is genuinely one of the denses, slickest shave creams I've used. They stopped making these tubes in 2019 If I remember correctly... if anyone knows of something similar definitely let me know.

If you have any other questions about the products, let me know.

SOLD [WTS] Above the Tie Windsor SS Razor w/ R & H plates.

4 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/HvMbiaR

SOLD

I bought the SS Windsor on a whim to try out as I have many other high dollar CNC Machined razors. I expected it to be good but not fantastic and I was wrong. It’s the best razor I’ve ever purchased so much so I bought it in Ti which was my first Ti purchase. As much as I want to keep both versions I also have a shave soap & splash, guns & ammo and knife addiction so the wife is making me make this sacrifice.

$140 shipped venmo or PayPal ff if using G&S please add 3%. With both plates these are $180 plus shipping new and are currently sold out of all SS configurations.

I've always wanted to try this razor and it seems you can't order new ones in the US currently... My current main is a Razorock GC 84, I think that maps to a Karve C or D plate? I have trade flair on a different sub if anyone wants a link.
