Bummer. Good luck and keep us posted.
If it's Eboy get yer money back. That razor is toast.
That really stinks. If they didn't disclaim it then they tried to hide it. It's not as if they didn't notice it. Shouldn't have any trouble with the return, at least not having eBay behind you.
Safest to buy right here, in the B/S/T forum.
(mention my name, and you might get a discount!) :w
Good news, the seller accepted the return. Problem solved.
Yeah shopping on eBay is risky, I have had good luck with stones and few razors I have bought. This was the first bad experience, nope the second. The first was the mess with the Russian stone seller and all the tricks/shilling he was pulling but even then I got my money back.
You might have been able to hone it out but it would have been lots of work with no guarantee it would fix it (lots of metal to be removed and possible crack) a return is by far the best option
Who was the seller Alex, so we can avoid them.
I stopped using ebay many years ago when they introduced a host of requirements to being allowed to post things for sale and I didn't qualify anymore for some unspecified reason.
What a heartbreaker. Sure you can get your money back on that, but it won't be the same as having the razor, intact and ready to hone.
Back on eBay. Microscopic corrosion and smudge per seller.

Fraud. Pure fraud and dishonesty. That seller must be smoking corrosion since that is the new word for "crack". I am surprised you didn't leave bad feedback but I bet you didn't think he would relist in such a fraudulent manner, either. I should put in a high bid and get it and return it. I won't be so kind with the feedback, you can bet your smudge on that.
Yeah I thought he would re list with only 2 razors since the third one is trashed. Of course looking back right now, he never reached out to me to try to negotiate for me to keep the razor, offer a discount etc. He just quickly accepted them back so I bet he was already planning to offer them up for auction again. All of them.
