At the end of the day, a man has to be able to face himself in the mirror. I wouldn't enjoy my shave if I had skanked someone for the razor.
Whoa, slow down brother. You are making a massive leap across the ethical boundary in talking about ‘skanking' someone.
OP's point is about an auction where the seller has not appreciated the reasonable market value of a razor. Would I personally draw that to the seller's attention – no, I wouldn't. That is most definitely within the normal ‘give and take' rules of an auction in my book; seller lists an item, and goes with the risk of what a buyer will pay – (that's) not skanking someone. And, presumably, the 20+ others on the forum who picked Option A above wouldn't deem it skanking either :icon_rolleyes:.
If I saw a mint Darwin, or Eclipse Red Ring that belonged to the late husband of a little old lady and said to her that I'll take the razor off her hands and put a pound or two in the charity box – that is skanking and, clearly, something I, personally, wouldn't do :angel:.
Massive difference indeed fella.

Just for the record I told him what the razors were used for, what the key was for and explained the nickname 'Psycho razor'. That was it. I didn't mention rarity or value. The original listing would probably have gone as high as this one anyway. Maybe. Who knows.
At the time I was in the bidding. My intention was if I got the winning bid, which wasn't high, I would keep one and the key and sell the rest on here for just enough to make my money back. No or very little profit. Just enough to cover my bid. Plenty folks here would have been glad to buy them at a low price.
If I saw a new member selling a mint Fatboy in BST for £20 I'd do exactly the same. There's some of my values right there and I'm happy with that. I'm glad we don't all have the same values. Personally I don't give a shite who's been upset by this as I haven't done anything that's harmed anybody. There's another of my values.
