What would be a fair asking price ?
And should I throw in the box in the picture ?
It's not the original box.
Does that make a significant difference in the price ? |
Well, I couldn't get $125 for a 6/8 Friodur with very small chips. In 15 minutes, I honed out the chips and a similar Friodur razor of mine sold for $185. The box doesn't matter at SRP but it might matter on eBay. The more pressing issue is the original listing. If the seller told you that the razor was new, I wouldn't accept this. I'd ask for a partial refund and fix it myself or a full refund and return it altogether.
I don't see why experienced members here wouldn't pay more than $25 for it though. Granted I can't verify the severity of the chips but honing chips out aren't that serious. It's quite easy actually, if you're using the proper technique and equipment. You could buy that razor, hone out the chips, use the razor for a month, and sell it for at least $100 on eBay if you didn't like it.
