Question about a purchase:
Hey,
I realize that I am about to pose a hypothetical that only I can answer, but I'm going to do it anyways.
I recently bought a group of razors on another forum. The package consisted of:
Quote:
1. Norvell Shapleigh Hdwe Snap #35 w/Box (It has a cracked handle.)
2. Edmond Raffler #11, France (Gold Tone Blade w/ Box)
3. Duble Duck Dwarf, Germany
4. Mahler & Gros, Toledo: O Toledo Blade
5. Motor City Charm, Detroit, Made in Germany
6. Gill Pumacker, New York, Black Diamond Wedge
The Hone is a Keen Kutter Kombination Razor Hone No: K20 w/ Tin Case
Safety Razor (No name brand and no box.)
Gem Safety Razor w/ Box.
The seller said that the edges were free of nicks and chips, but that wasn't the case. The Duble Duck has a decent chip in the toe, the Motor City Charm has a several chips in the middle of the blade, and the Black Diamond Wedge has a chip in the heel. The other three razors don't have any serious damage, but the edges aren't in shaving condition. I don't believe that the seller was acting under bad faith--I think he is simply very unfamiliar with razors and didn't know how to look at the edges properly. The seller has already apologized profusely and offered a full refund if I desire. Right now I'm away from home for a week and a half and he's giving me that time to mull my options over.

So here's my dilemma. Including shipping each item cost me relatively little. I think it would be neat to get them professionally cleaned up but I don't know if it will be worth the cost?
I'm curious what you would do in this situation and why?
Thank you for any opinions you can offer.
