Fatboys tend to go for more money than other vintage Gilettes. Maybe they were listing it as a Fatboy in order to get more money for it.
Exactly! That was my first thought.

I have seen Techs listed as “Fatboys”. People who don’t know anything about razors at least have heard of Fatboys. Sounds like the seller you contacted is being deliberately duplicitous. Maybe he thinks it’ll sell for more money if he calls it a Fatboy.
Wish I would have gotten that one after my ordeal with the other guy.Mistakes do occur both ways. A few months ago, some poor bloke sold a Red Dot Fatboy for $9.99. The guy who bought it (NOT me) then listed it for sale a few days later for 10X that amount.
