Default Satisfaction

I must say, that for all the head and heartaches that EBay causes, when you finally do score an item you want, it is quite satisfying, isn't it?


Perhaps I'll wait to see what actually arrives in the mail before declaring satisfaction though...

Indeed. I bid low and often, but I do look closely at the pictures. If I'm not sure, I don't bid or I bid lower than I would. I've gotten some great razors at great prices. Then again, there have been some big letdowns.

I'd say, on the whole, I've ended up with more satisfaction than disappointment.

+1. I go for hones more than razors on Ebay and have scored some nice ones for cheap. But.......then there's the crappy oilstone that I wouldn't use as a doorstop and a barber hone that I swear was a labeled Escher, both of which I paid way more than they were worth.

But......the good outweighs the bad.
