Schmidt-araki auction

I met Kelly on ebay sometime ago, since then i get weekly emails with auction listings for all kinds of Japanese antiques, i was wondering if anyone deals with him?. There are a few posts on here, but nothing to really go off. I was interested in a tsuba on his list a while ago, he wanted the money up front (i can understand why) but obviously i was reluctant.

I have dealt with Kelly on three occasions and have been very happy with the results.I was unsuccessful on the first auction and my money was returned in full the next day.In the last auction I purchased two large Japanese screens for a not insignificant amount of money .These were sent to him by the seller,expertly repacked and delivered in 10 days.Regards,

I also dealt with Kelly for quite some time, but recently stopped doing business with him when he didn't follow through on an auction item that I really wanted. I told him that if he couldn't be depended upon, I didn't need his services.
