MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

8 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

46 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] Alpha Outlaw Evolution Titanium w/ Viper 95 Handle and Matching Stand - $250

4 Upvotes

Perfect condition Alpha Outlaw Evolution Titanium with the Viper 95 handle and the matching stand (which was hard to find), and in near perfect condition. Used only a few times. This razor is beyond beautiful, and is a super smooth shaver, just not quite heavy enough for me to reach for it on any given day.

I actually use the SS version Viper 95 handle and stand with my SS Blackbird nearly daily, because Alpha makes beautiful stuff. You could do the same with your Ti Blackbird for some variety every once in a while. Excellent versatility and value!!
(If you are into that sorta thing 😅🤷🏻‍♂️).

$250 includes CONUS shipping and G&S.

Thanks for looking!!

Since I was asked… Only trades I would consider…

🪒SS Vector with the stand (ideally also with the SB Lite)
🪒Athena in SS or Bronze
🪒Standard or Mild Satin Freyja with the stand…

I unfortunately missed the GOAT that was listed here earlier this week. I'm planning to buy one new today but would prefer to buy used.

Also interested in trying some of the "classic" shaving soaps. Think Tabac, Cella, Arko, Proraso, etc. I'm new to this hobby and have only used Stirling.

Thanks!

Used 4-5 times, original box and blades included, like new…

Excellent shaver, probably smoothest BBS on a 3 pass shave I’ve had, and I have tried 40t+ razors now😅🤦🏻‍♂️.

I just think my hair is a little too coarse. Hard to explain, just didn’t love the post shave feel, despite being incredibly smooth. If you have medium to light coarseness, this razor is fantastic 🙌🏻.

Will include a used 4 times Stirling Gentlemen with 2 balms.

$120 with CONUS and G&S included.

5 Upvotes

SOLD

Full Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/ekqCZtD

All Prices include Shipping (CONUS) and G&S fees if you prefer it (F&F please if you can to save me a few bucks)

Current Full Remaining Lot Price (updated as things sell) - $75

(yep buy the shavette and brush, and the rest is yours!)

SOLD:

  • Tiki Bar Soaps "Spice Islands" - Mostly scooped from what I can tell, ~ 75 %
  • Strike Gold Shave / Shave Dad "Built to Fight" - Scooped once

Hone 15A Black with Stand and Box - $70

  • Solo Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/V77DDuZ
  • $115 retail overseas, excellent condition with some minor wear related dings and such. 1.2mm gap with 0mm exposure, so wonderfully mild and efficient, have not been able to cut myself at all.
  • Don't come up here very often.

Oliworks Crater Shave Bowl - $40

  • Solo Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/teWYS1X
  • Machined Aluminum in the "clear" colorway (silver lol). Good weight and heat retention, but paring down to a single bowl guy as I've been a bit of a face latherer lately.

Bundle Sold:

Feather SS Folding Shavette with 19 Feather Pro Blades - $50

  • Solo Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/J4dCgXM
  • $110 retail depending on vendor. Perfect first shavette as it is designed with a bump around the blade area to deter coming in too uneven. Includes 19 Feather Pro blades in dispenser (one blade short of full, $16 retail alone).

Simpsons Trafalgar T3 Brush - $25

  • Solo Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/aAq6TRx
  • Single owner, excellent synthetic brush for the price. Can't go wrong with a Simpson, but I've found my way to using mostly my badgers lately.

Software Lot (4 Tubs Total) - $40

  • Solo Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/Ce0fbxF
    • Talent Soap Factory "Wish Here" - New / unused
    • Arko Tub - New / Unused
    • Catie's Bubbles "Irish Coffee" (large sample size) - Scooped once
    • Adopted Acres "Pineapple Under the Sea" - Tub loaded a few times, ~ 90%
    • 2 x 3d printed razor hangers - just needs adhesive strips

I'll consider smaller bundles on a case to case basis, so shoot your shot. Prefer to keep the software together so I don't have to charge individual shipping (not my bag, baby).

Open to trades, but more so for mid to higher-end hardware, it doesn't hurt to ask though!

Please comment before DM, easier to track and not miss your messages if I'm not staring at reddit...

Thanks!

WTS [WTG] Dollar Shave Club Shave Cream & Shave Butter

2 Upvotes

"Free" to a good home: one tube each of Dollar Shave Club Shave Cream and Shave Butter. Still sealed, never used. Probably a year or two old, but I really don't know for sure. Left over from before my son started wetshaving. It's actually pretty good stuff, I just use better stuff now. 🙂

The fine print:

  • CONUS only.
  • Post here before sending me a DM.
  • "Free" means just pay for the actual shipping cost. Send me a DM with your address and I'll le you know how much shipping will cost to your address.
