I keep visualizing a guy hard on his luck during the Great Depression faced with a choice of buying food for his family or a new razor. In that situation you bet I'm going to grind grandad's old razor down to the nub boy. The shame is with the seller who lists something like that as being in "good" or "fine" condition and asking the same price that you could get a NOS one for.

The only "shame" in asking for top dollar is that not enough people are willing to pay ME that money!

I won this sweet Wosty (sellers image) no reserve,with a very conservative bid. Good..right ? Well, the seller contacted me through eBay a few days later claiming the razor had been stolen from his desk. Needless to say I was P*##ed ! I am guessing sellers remorse.

How could the seller steal his own razor?

It wasn't his razor at the end of the auction.

If the seller refunded the money, then technically no, it isn't stolen. But it is dishonest.

There is a seller of low-end Japanese stones in Japan that lists his wares, and if at the end of the auction they allegedly did not bring what he wished, he cancels the sale and refunds the money, claiming it was a mistake. He has been banned from some sales venues for repeatedly using this tactic.
