Thread: bargin or fake

hey guys first post here, i have been getting cut throat shaves from my barber for a while and decided to give it a try myself, my barber has loaned me a freshly sharpened and honed vintage razor which i have been using to practice with and i have been keeping an eye out for something i like to get me started. i have come across this on ebay and thought it was a great deal?? maybe to good.

Welcome to SRP. Looks like the real McCoy to me .......... OTOH, does seem too good to be true. You pays your money and you takes your chances. If paypal in Aus is anything like it is here in the USA you'll be able to get your $ back if it is not what they say it is.

yeah paypal is suposed to be some insurance if it turns out bad, lucky i have not yet had to face that situation !

Ebay & Paypal money back policy is extremely reliable, as my experience shows. If you open a case on time and follow the simple procedure, you'll have your money back in no time.
Take note that if you're not satisfied with the item and want a refund, the seller can (and probably will) ask you to return the item at your own expanse.

Hmm, to me it shows that the item has been removed from ebay.

well then i guess that answers my question.. to good to be true

I wish I could have seen this. The subject of "fake" razors comes up now and again, but I have never seen one that actually turned out to be fake. Ever.

the problem with the paypal money back thing is that it only applies when you didn't receive the bought object. worse case scenario, the seller can refuse a refund or refund partially (-shipping costs). fortunately I never had that happen to me

That has not been my experience. I have gotten money back twice when things obviously were not as described.

thanks forr the newbie help. i have bought a bengal as my first razor. i plan on getting honed first and maybe restore it later.
