Great experience with Ed at Yakiba....

[kaigunair]

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!

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,

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

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.

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...

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

I must say that Ed is a top seller according to my standards. No surprise, very good communication and realist prices.

Ed and I have done biz in the past too.

I have both bought from Ed as well as sold through him. Always a superb experience. Thanks ED

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

I wanted to add my old friend Oyabun Stephen, a warm hug.

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.

[Ed]

I would like to give my thanks and recognition to each and every one of you as well as all the members of this board and the Nihonto community in general as the finest people on the face of the earth. The years I have participated in this hobby have been a wonderful and positive experience. Though most of you I have never met face to face or done business with, I still consider each and every one of you friends.

 

Here's to you,

 

Again, Thank you all for your very kind comments.
