My RAD is not as acute nowadays so when I get hold of particular razors I like to do a one in and one out system. I will sometimes buy a rough looking razor and enjoy the cleaning and keeping fingers crossed that it turns out to be in good condition under all the years of gunk its collected - if so then the best version gets kept, and the not so good model gets sold on Ebay.
I am always honest selling them on, and show the razor in all its imperfections so avoid false advertising ... I rarely make a profit, and the aim is to get as close as possible to the money I paid back.
However - again I have had a refund request from a buyer on Ebay. Claiming the razor has a warped base plate (English Tech solid flat plate - is it even possible to warp these?). The particular razor was used by myself for a good few months and gave a superb shave until I obtained an even more pristine version to replace it with; there was some plate loss on the razor - but it shaved fine. A few months back I sold a Red Tip in fine working order - only for a request for refund again and the returned razor was not even the original ... and worse of all, it was in about 4 bits where the person had either butchered it, or more likely exchanged it for his own bag of bits!
I have decided no more selling on Ebay now, although still got some spares to sell on. Where do you sell yours (in UK)?
