"Caveat Emptor" Buyer Beware!
Hey Guys, I don't post many threads, or certainly as many as I read. However this one needs posting. Like many of you, I'm on ebay scouring for that one "diamond in the rough." I have noticed prices continue to skyrocket. Many of these blades are junk with ridiculous price tags. There are very nice blades on eBay. Be careful who you buy them from, and please don't over pay for a razor. It just encourages some of these guys to gouge. I recently say some really nice blades on eBay, however they were grosly overpriced. I emailed the gentleman to see if he was willing to negotiate on a particular razor that I was interested in. I owned the same razor, however I discovered it was cracked. Guy told me he was not a SRP member, just a collector. Claimed to have 2000+ razors. He said he wanted to get rid of his blades however he had to make a profit. I told him I was unwilling to pay any of his prices as they were ridiculous. He agreed to sell me the above mentioned razor at a decent price using the "Buy it Now" feature on eBay. I paid using Paypal. I noticed that the sale did not show in my summary. Turns out he sold outside of eBay. 6 days later I receive a shipping tube. It was empty. Immediatly called the guy and he states that I can't prove I did not receive razor. Total BS. Guys please be careful. Beware of overpriced razors being sold out of Midwest. If you are an eBay guy, and know razors, you will figure out who he is. Hope this helps. Be safe. :gl:
