In a situation such as yours, if I didn't know whether a razor I was looking at was worth the asking price, I would look on ebay 'completed items' for the same brand. If I didn' t find one there I would compare the asked price to new Solingen razors of a similar size, grind and quality. The usual vendors have both current and NOS Solingens for sale on their websites. I've got a vintage Herder that came to me used and it is an excellent shaver.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
