Interesting Attempted Deal
So a while back, I noticed at the bottom of an auction, in the box that displays questions that have been asked, that someone had contacted the seller and offered to buy the razor for an insultingly low price.
I have taken this idea, but I try to be as honest as possible and always offer something reasonable, essentially the price I would bid for the item anyway. I just hate to wait 7 days then see the item sniped away.
Today I stumbled across a very beautiful razor, it looked NOS and the description said "blade in almost flawless condition." So I contact the seller with my offer and he responds within a few minutes agreeing to my terms. (just a side note, this is only the second time a seller has agreed, usually people just want to see what will happen at auction)
So I go to the item page to purchase and I notice the same(?) razor is being shown but it now has pitting and oxidation all over and the gold wash is much more feint than originally shown, it looked pretty bad and would need a decent amount of work. The description had also been changed to say "blade is in used condition."
I re-contacted the seller and declined due to these reasons but I'm still wondering what happened. Was the first picture photo-shopped or does this guy have two of the same razor in different conditions and tried to pull a fast one on me? :thinking:
