Size:  39.0 KB I can't get over how folks can miss match everything on an add. Now this is not as bad as some I've seen. at least it's a good name razor even though the points broken. the coffin is made up of 2 different manufactures. I've seen a lot worse but really just how obvious does it have to be. eBay no. 171864699177

    I sent the seller an email thru eBay to let him know there was a mismatch. Even told him who manufactured the C-Mon. That was days ago. They just don't listen or care!!!

    I have seen more than this add using the name Henckel when the razor was really some thing else. I think that they think that just using the name will bring more money.

    The seller missed a golden opportunity: advertising the RARE green & red box edition.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    That's too bad. I'd say a good 75-80% of sellers I have notified about a mistake in their listing have been quick both to thank me and to change the listing. So there are some good ones out there still.

    Well, I guess a mismatched lid is better than no lid.

    Did Henckels make razors with very many other company names on them?

    I would love to watch someone that ultimately posts razors like this go step by step just to see if it is that they are so excited they think they've hit the motherlode and want to get it on eBay as fast as possible or if there is some sort of process they go through and just miss.

    I think most people would do at least some background work to make sure they knew what they had but it sure seems that others just snap a pic and go.

    Would be a fun experiment to get a Razor, a Coffin Box and a Coffin Lid that all have different names on them and give then to someone like this on eBay and ask them to prep a sale just to see how they choose.

    I've seen worse, by the rest of his items he's just a seller of stuff and probably had no idea what it was. It looks like a decent C-Mon for $41. When you list on Ebay, they will tell you historically where items should be priced, so if he read Henckles on the box, that's what Ebay suggested where to price the auction. miss labelled items can be a gold mine on ebay
