Expensive platform to buy swords from. Fees up the wazoo... 9% winners fee a d spraypal 10% transfer fees. Not to mention taxes. Could be 15k right there

this is one of those rare moments, when some one wanted to complian and the forum bounce back and higlighted the posative

thankyou rob, im not the illogical pot stirrer that i appear to come across as sometimes. i speak directly, and to the point. tho my dislexa make sa meal of it some times and my computer has given up trying to spell check me

i have bought a tsuba from him some years back, and i believe i was a victum of shill bidding. but i also went on to sell that tsuba for a profit here, so rest a peace that he sells good items, you just didnt get a bargin. every platform i know of has this practice. bad but necssary for small busness operators to make a living. but its ebay and there are pitfalls to ebay, scams, returns and theift. im sure that after many sales and loses, hes found the middle ground to making money and losing money. look at the dealer and not what the platform forces him to do. if you want contact him off site and buy that way

Well if where all discussing. Personally iv never seen a late war blade mounted in a type 98 gunto koshirae. That might raise eye brows. Also its abit pricey. Once the currency conversion, taxes and postage thats close to 10k Aussie. Some peaple who collect ljm swords don't shop in that price bracket

Can we run these abit long. I want to participate but didn't get a chance Before the gender reveal

Well im buying 2 types. When they arrive i will post them as a detailed warning

What makes you think there repro. Compare to this?? The shape of the belt clip?

Im surprised how difficult the photo and the oshigata make the nakago look. I would have said suriage with daimei

Mine with funny hitsu ana

ichimonji of some sort?? something bizen or ...

You have got something special, well done

What am i missing with these 2? Bit average looking

Its a stunning example

false hope and helpfull words, when cpr isnt working is just wasted time. dont waste a new begginers time with false hope a felpfull kind words. "end of life" for this item. learn from this and move on. there are cheaper but just as furfilling areas in the Japanese arms area that are more affordable levels if that tikles your toes

if you cut jacques a break, and actually look with your eyes. you will find this blade is dead, there are more them 10 things that raise serious issues. stop judging the poster and start studying the sword

can peaple seriously look past that weilded on nakago??

this program tho fun to watch is just that. fun to watch but fantacy

i dont like that nakago at all, warning bells, alarms, peaple scrambling for cover..... i think that nakago has be put on after the fact

buy the hightest quality you can afford, study it well. sell the item for more then you paided and buy a higher quality item continue this until you are satisifed you have a peice worth keep. then start this process again. you may only have 5 or 10 items but your always learning, looking and finding quality. quality pieces equals quality education and learning. what can you learn from 50 or 100 pieces of low quality junk?? how to run out of space maybe??

You can, but its frowned apon

Ohhhh. Im not in Europe What school tsuba ??

If the dealer cant see that the saya is modern fake crap. He isn't a reputable dealer. Just someone making profit of his ignorance. Run away and save you pennys

Ok. Get ready for fees. Small annoying fees. Winning fee Local delivery fee Banking fee And the postage and taxes. But the selection of items both quality and price is 1000 times better. Firstly you must have money in your jauce account to bid. When you win the item is posted to jauce, they pack it and send it to you. There packaging is the best. Double padded in sturdy boxes all send via Japan post tracked an fully insured. Proof of id at pick up. All this can extend the time from buy to getting it in your hot little hands. If your tsuba knowledge is good you will find gems at good prices. If you want to buy drink coaster tsuba like the crude things afew posts above that you couldnt attribute to a school or smith or learn anything from. Then ebay is the easier option.
