    Yea listing razors as "mint" and "very good" condition when both are fair at best is downright wrong. I might make him an offer of a much lower price, just to avoid a drawn out return process. The razors are nice, just not the condition as advertised. Either way he is losing a lot of money because of this...

    That seems to be how he operates.

    He responded today with an offer, I counter offered him and he accepted. Basically 50% of each razor. I feel comfortable with that price for the condition they are in. I have no negative thoughts towards him, but won't purchase from again...

    The silence has been broken. i wonder if his silence was costing him too much money and he was forced to start talking to people about his crazy business practices. I am not a big fan of negotiating sales after the auction, but I am also not a fan of receiving items that are not as advertised. Hopefully he figures out how to honestly sell razors, not that I will look at any of his stuff again.

    I have not even looked at his ads since I started this thread.

    Wow, this thread is surprising to me. I've only bought one straight from this seller, but it turned out to be actually in much, much better condition than it appeared in his photos...

    I must say, I'm feeling bad for those folks in this thread that had an undesirable outcome, but happy as a clam to be the apparent exception to the rule

    I'm not much of a photographer, but the razor is in nearly mint/NOS condition. Zero hone wear.

    I lucked out also for a cheap but good no name Japanese Western Straight from him. GO with the guys what got shafted and do not do business without much better photos.
