Vintage Dubl Duck Goldedge Gold Edge Straight Razor New Old Stock 6/8 Boxed | eBay

130579752950

auction on unopened sealed in box DD, hope whoever wins it does find a blade in great shape.
I personally will never bid on a blade unseen, oh and NO RETURNS ACCEPTED....

I'm the same. I wouldn't buy an unseen blade. I've seen a couple of them sell recently though and for pretty big money. It's almost like a lucky dip with no upside.

The seller can say whatever he wants regarding returns. If the buyer tells Paypal that the item is no good they will side with the buyer. AFAIK anyway. Sellers who know this say 'no returns' to discourage dissatisfied buyers but if it is really a travesty Paypal will issue a refund.

Hmm Jimmy, I'm hoping that means things have changed. About 5 yrs ago I bought something (non-razor related) that turned out to be an obvious fake. We were left high & dry. That was a $100 lesson for me. To this day I refuse to use eBay.

Well I'm surprised at that. I've contacted sellers whose ad read 'no returns' and didn't even get an argument. I only had one dispute I didn't 'win' and that was because I withdrew my claim because I decided I wanted the box bad enough to keep the item in spite of the condition of the Gillette Double Ring. Anyway, sorry to hear it didn't work out better for you. The bay is always somewhat of a crapshoot I guess. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

I think Jimmys right. I've read sellers freaking out about how easily paypal gives money back.

As far as the auction goes, I can only be reservedly amazed at the stupid that goes on on ebay. Its kind of like when you hear another Kennedy has died.

I hope their rusty! (because I can afford them ;-)

so i have seen in other sections of the forum as well as other threads in this section that posting curent live auctions is a no-no why does it seem like people are okay with this one being posted?? just wondering as i am a newbie and don;t want to break any rules but have been tempted to get advice on blades i have seen on the bay that are live but didn;t want to post because i thought and had seen it was a no-no!??!?!???

In general its not recommended but its not prohibited either..

If its an item that no one from here is likely to bid on then no one will say anything, if its likely to increase its price then i wouldn't be posting it on here until its over and someone will make a fuss about it.

Thanks Brighty!!!!! figured i'd ask to get some clarification...........so what i shouldn't go out and spend $300+ dollars on this???? hahahaha
