There is no such thing as getting something for nothing - you will have to pay one way or another. If you don't want to spend money you have to spend time to educate yourself how to tell good razor from a bad one. Buying as-is razors you can't see in person, and even if you can see them in person, is always a gamble, but you can increase the odds in your favor.
For vintage razors your best bet is to go to the ebay101 thread, and then look for highly reputable brands such as boker or case - they virtually never left the factory with issues, so all you have to worry about is abuse by previous owners, and that's what the ebay 101 thread would teach you how to detect.
You can also play the roulette with gold dollar razors, but buying 10 of them still doesn't mean you'll get a single good one, it could be 10 from a terrible batch. It's up to you.
