Example of those who sell things they have no idea about

This is a current production "Tech"-type razor sold in China, I believe. At least that's where the blades come from, so I can assume the razor does too.
But, it's being sold as "Vintage".

Hey if it looks old-skool, it must be, right? No way it could be modern production...

Links to live auctions are not allowed, but I agree with you .

Well, the seller is right in a way. It is a vintage type rather than modern cartridge jobbie.

I once saw a '50's Travel Tech in a used case listed as "Pre-1920's" with a BIN of $125.00 and a best offer button. I offered them $1, but they didn't accept.

+1. Except in my case it was at an antique store and i offered $15 but she told me no and she was going to sell it on ebay. Maybe this was the listing.

Or course antique dealers can't be experts in everything, but one would imagine that a few minutes with a search engine...

I suspect that greed sometimes trumps curiosity. When I see one of these magical "pie the sky" listings I wonder how well their online businesses are going.

I especially like it when someone posts a razor on the 'bay and has the bottom plate installed upside down. I roll my eyes every time I see that.

I also like razors that are clearly not Fat Boys marketed as such. There's big difference between a Gillette NEW and a Fat Boy.

Maybe they meant "vintage style". I recently saw a razor on Ebay that was described as a Slim Fat Boy.

Isn't he a DJ?

Or when people market a Tech or Super Speed as "adjustable." There are all sorts of resources out there to learn about what you are trying to sell. No excuse.
