Guys i would never block whole country because of few bad sellers, and when i said there are some good customers i meant buyers not sellers, tho i am still thinking of blocking Minsk Belarus :lol:

Thank you Peter, i saw it : ) Arigato. Grey, when you list up the item you specify the end date and time. The payment system is same as on ebay. Seller sends the invoice to buyer which contains PayPal link and cost of item, buyer clicks on link and pays the amount after that the site will display the icon "Paid by PayPal" Someone is working on "FAQ" page as we speak, at the moment there is a help page that explains the menu only. http://nihontoauction.com/helpselling.asp Lol...Mariuszk if it becomes necessary i sure will, but there are some good customers from China and i do not wish to block good people, we'll see how it goes.

Hello gents, Thank you for feedback and support, actually i don't want to have any fakes there, Chinese or none Chinese and for this purpose there is a "Reproductions" category. If anyone notices the fake item just let me know and it will be removed or moved to "Reproductions". There will be no screening of sellers, but i can block the whole country if necessary. The first auction starts at October 1, i will try to make auctions at least twice a month (beginning and middle of month), meaning posting new items ...while re listing the old ones too. If anybody wishes to join me and start listing it would be great, i will notify few sellers also, if you know someone who sells please spread the word. Yes, some items has been listed on eBay before...unfortunately they didn't get much attention there Cheers : ) Vitali

Dear All, I would like to inform everyone of a new site http://www.nihontoauction.com this is a brand new Nihonto marketplace for everyone. All dealers are welcome to join, at the moment there are 6 major currencies available to sell your items, GBP, USD, EURO, AUD, CAD and JPY. "Reserved price" and "Buy Now" available at no charge, fees are 10 JPY listing and 2% final value fees. I am also hoping that some Japanese dealers will join Nihonto Auction and some good items will be listed here bypassing Yahoo and eBay . I will be working on adding Japanese, French, German and Russian languages. If you have any question please pm or email me. Thank you for your time, Kind Regards, Vitali

Yes i agree with Lee, second one looks more like obidomi. Here another example of menuki turned into a brooch

Hello everyone, Finally got moment to take pictures of my new additions, i will probably keep all 3 for myself, just want to share the pictures. 1.Hiryutei Naotomo (with NBTHK eval. old papers) 2.Mumei daisho. Mino school 3.Nara Toshinaga

Hi Henry, Thank you, unfortunately NBTHK papers don't indicate the age, they just don't issue the papers if it is not Edo period. Today i got some very nice items, will post some pictures tomorrow. Would love to hear everyone's opinion. Cheers, Vitali

Thank you very much i appreciate both buying and posting here : )))

Thank you very much. I have checked huge size pictures and it is definitely iron cast, sekigane also appears to be of the same texture. I am glad you liked that tsuba, yes i am trying to get a better items, but its getting harder to find something worth attention. Thanks a bunch again, my dilemma is solved and i can sleep better : )))

Hi Stephen I think i have seen a mon on a jingasa that looks like a mikey's head, so it is possible to be a mon design.

Thank you Brian! Need to free some cash, so everything must go...hope to get at least my money back...doh i seriously doubt it

Hi! Just posted few tsuba on ebay, ...no reserve ... more is coming http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbushiart Thank you.

actually some people do sell just a papers, i don't know they are fake or real, but you can buy them from same daimyou54jp here: http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n50007826 http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m39444111

Hi! Here is another example of patterns.

if you think medication will help you to see what i see than you should keep taking it believe it or not i can accept that this is mantis design tsuba...without medication

How about this ???

Coz they are fake. Yep...making fake swords in China and selling them from USA/Canada is a good business.

Yes... me too, just found it in db... Nobuyori Echizen no kuni (Anei) NOB573 (15pts) 1. iwami (no) kami fujiwara nobuyori Thank you very much!

Originally i had it translated as Nobuyori , but after 1 hour with dictionary my "translator" forced me to change it to Nobunao, now it's a delema...Nobuyori vs Nobunao

Thank you for the tip Moriyama-san , will correct asap. LOL, Sencho they both are fired :lol:
