kaigunair Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Just wanted to say I had a great experience with Ed at yakiba. Purchased my first two tsubas from him, two different transactions. Both transactions went smooth and shipping was quick. Ed was great to communicate with and was willing to work with me on a pricier item. Now I have to focus in building up my library and knowledge on tosogu but if I see something on his site when I'm ready to buy, I wouldn't hesitate to acquire from him again. Thanks Ed! Quote
Sam Elliott Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 He is indeed a solid guy and top notch seller. Knowledgable and patient and his website is great. Now if only he could get his pond filled with water.... :D Cheers, Sam Quote
Soshin Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Hi Everyone, I would agree with Sam and Junichi. A few of this tsuba listed recently for sale on his site I once owned and many of this tsuba show fine taste in my opinion. Here is one of my favorites I once owned: http://yakiba.com/Tsuba_Ko-Umetada.htm. It is at a very fair price in my opinion. As a disclaimer I am not the current owner listing it on this website on consignment. Yours truly, David Stiles Quote
Travis Clarke Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Hello everyone, I also just recently had a good experience with Ed at Yakiba. I purchased a few scrolls from him that just arrived in the mail the other day and I couldn't be happier with them. Fairly quick shipping and great communication throughout the whole process. I'm sure I'll deal with him again in the future. Thanks again Ed. Quote
kissakai Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Hi I bought 4 of this tsuba from his Christmas sale - great prices and communication Grev UK Quote
Pete Klein Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 One of my few collecting regrets is that I didn't buy a pair of gold Goto Eijo menuki from him when I had the chance. Hindsight is 20/20... http://yakiba.com/menuki_gotoeijo.htm Quote
Ed Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Gee guys, all I can say is Thank you for all of your kind comments. Pete, we both have regrets regarding those menuki, mine is selling them Quote
Gilles Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 I must say that Ed is a top seller according to my standards. No surprise, very good communication and realist prices. Quote
Ted Tenold Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Ed and I have done biz in the past too. Ed = Quote
estcrh Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 I agree with all of the above completely. Quote
Marius Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 I have both bought from Ed as well as sold through him. Always a superb experience. Thanks ED Quote
Jean Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 The easiest way to manage/shortened this post is: Who among NMB members has not dealt with Ed? Who has not been satisfied? I too have dealt with Ed with total satisfaction Now, I must confess and the list is not exhaustive that I have dealt with Darcy, Ted, Markus, ChristianMalterre, Fred, Roy, Grey, Ford, Robert Hughes and many others and that I have always been fully satisfied Quote
Jean Posted December 16, 2012 Report Posted December 16, 2012 I wanted to add my old friend Oyabun Stephen, a warm hug. Quote
Stephen Posted December 16, 2012 Report Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks Jean, must also state that Ed is not just a good seller but top tier human being, could not ask for a better friend, as with many on this board too many to list. Quote
