RE: WTS Mint Fat Boy F4
Hi there,
I may be wrong, but there's a big difference between what's mint and what's NOS. To my mind, something NOS or NIB is exactly as it woulda been displayed on the store shelf. If it's a razor, that'll include the case, instructions, and orginal blade dispensor. The razor should be unused.
I could be off the mark here, but mint condition can apply to both original and replated razors. The main thing is there is zero signs of use on the item...not even the faintest door scratch near the safety bar. Seems like a replated or repainted razor could be considered mint, as long as any previous altering was disclosed.

Oh......may I recommend continuing to ease up on any future posts directed at Tony. He can be a little blunt on rare occasions, and this may be one of em. Now if you seriously really wanna resolve any issues, then keeping things friendly should be no problem. It's easy for a subject like this to cause some friction, which can in turn make the thread go waaaay south in a hurry. Not saying you'd do anything to cause that.....only mentioning the potential pitfall here.
Personally, I see your offering as what looks to be a fatboy in good shape.....maybe very good for all I know. Hard to tell what it looks like in real life. That's how I'd advertise it if it was mine to sell.
It's actually a good thing this grading subject came up, and maybe it'll help avoid some confusion on the future.
