There is an ebay seller that has a statement about the Gold Dollar razors he sells. At least he is making it clear that the razors aren't shave ready. He doesn't have much feedback, but his razors are selling for $9.99 shipped. Here is the statement from the webpage:

5.The razors needs to be hone before shave.all you need just only get a fine grit finishing stone or a barber's hone for this.
