How to not advertise your second hand brush

[Shaveguru]

Was browsing eBay when I stumbled on a newly listed Alpha Titanium brush, have had my eye on one for a while.
I read the description and it all seems well: "Treat yourself, you won't be disappointed. The brush has only been lightly used for a few days."

Check out the "lightly used" brush below, would you bid at £120? Not me!

Lightly dragged behind his car for a few days more like! Grim.

He's been using it as a temporary hammer obviously!

just looking at it on a close up i don’t think it’s actually chipped
it could be soap scum
however the fact that the dude can’t clean it up for a picture tells me everything i need to know

Yes, mostly soap scum with a few possible scratches/scuffs. Would probably clean up ok too but definitely more than lightly used for a few days!

It’s just a pity that some people get scammed by these people.

Lightly used over the past 30 years lol

I tell you what: a fiver and I’ll take it off yer hands then spend probably an entire afternoon trying to restore it. Needs a hell of a clean and major polish. £120? Yer ‘avin’ a giraffe, mate!

To be fair they are £170 ish new

So you save £50 off full retail price, not sure you could really compare a brush in this condition with a brand new one.
Alpha had a sale recently so could have got it new for even less than £170 too.
