Got Box of 10 Gillette Psycho Razors DAMAGED #@!*&%

[Bobbers]

I buy a box of 10 NOS Gillette Psycho Razors from Ebay and when I wen to inspect them 3 of the razor are damaged and unusable. I have just contacted the buy and will see how they want to handle it. Here is the Ebay Listing. From the photos in the listing every thing looks good.
The razor on the far right is in good. I do not think that the 3 that are damaged can be repaired.

Maybe they're Transformers who were in mid-transformation when the wind changed and they got froze that way forever??


But really, that's a real bummer. Your pic shows the damage to them quite easily.

Did they appear that way in the picture on eBay? Was there visible damage to the shipping container?

I don't know how they might have been damaged in transit ... vintage razors go through a lot of being dropped and banged around in the course of their lifetime, and they still don't come anywhere close to what you picture there for razors #1, 2, and 3.

If nothing else, getting 7 good Psycho-razors is a good thing. I and many others with RAD don't have any of that particular model, but I'd like to get one eventually.

This is what the listing says " The box does show a little wear but all ten razors and the key are in mint unused condition. Very rare to find a full box brand new old stock". ...its not correct, they are all not mint, only a few. So you should get a huge discount or money back seller pays shipping

While I'm sure your buyer protection coverage will cover this I'm also sure it was shocking to open this package.

So sad......

Maybe Gillette was trying a new safety bar Patent with a few of them. They could be worth millions.

Seriously that sucks, I hope you come out OK.

Maybe they gave the ones on the left to the Death Row inmates.

To the OP, I'm sure it will work out somehow but the hassle sucks.

Sorry to hear that. Thankfully the majority of them are NOS mint. I would ask for a big discount though.

Whooa the first two razors would be shaving with out a safety bar. You could potentially have the most aggressive de on you hands.

I almost pulled the trigger and bid on these, I was gonna try and snipe at the end and although I am sorry that you had the issue I am also glad that I didnt buy them

 

[Bobbers]

Well I loaded a blade in to the worst razor. Think I can shave with it? Gives a whole new meaning to aggressive.

 

[combatwombat]

Oh snap dont do it!

 

[smalltank]

Well..could be your chance to find out..whats a DE like without the "safety" bar....

 

[rxonmymind]

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Good luck in resolving this.

Well, it is a psycho razor... go nuts! Post pics after you get out of the hospital.

 

[dpm802]

It doesen't look damaged so much as it appears to be bent that way on purpose ... but what purpose they had in mind, I can't imagine.

I'd send them all back or make an offer on the good ones and send the bad ones back. If you're going to sell 10 Razors then take photos of all 10 razors. You'll notice the seller didn't take pics of them front on as well where you could have seen this damage before bidding. I'd say if you tried to bend the safety bars back they would snap.

 

[roklein]

Hope you find resolution. That's a bummer. I've shyed away from the bay due to misrepresentations and unresponsive sellers and buyers.

Almost a guaranteed thing.
