8 ft Santamaria whip

Post by stoneman »

I received one of Chel's whips in the mail today, I snatched it up off the bay \:D/ It's 8 feet long in 16 plait in red and black

As I said before, I've handled one of his whips in the past, so I wasn't surprised at all by the fantastic workmanship. Straight seams, not a lump to be found, no gaps and very uniform strands the entire length of the thong. I only wish it wasn't snowing so hard out so I could go put it to work ](*,)
It's a gorgeous whip in person, don't let my shoddy picture fool you :[ I managed to sneak in a flick or two in the living room for now and it feels as good as it looks!

What's even more sad is that most people can't distinguish the few good whips that are on ebay from all the cheap @#$% that's there, so they just think they are overpriced. I've sold one whip on ebay, and I had to lower the price about 20% before anybody
even considered it. I've tried to sell another, but what I was wanting to get for it nobody was willing to pay. I just try to sell whips
through the forum now because ebay just isn't a good place to sell good whips...

Moderators, All these links are either BUY IT NOW, or are currently posted in the bazaar, so the price won't get amped up,

and they are already posted by a member. I'm not sure about the latter, if it's against the rules or not, if it is PLEASE tell me

so that I'll know for future reference.
