ebay listing in question

[bdgrange]

Take a look at this auction.

The sword is rather impressive. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... ink:top:us

What is strange is the comment towards the end of the rather long description,

"as sword is listed elsewhere for sale"

Someone else's sword and listing being duplicated by this seller?

Has a few negs as well, 13.

Received a response from seller "also for sale elsewhere not on e bay"

signed MH.

Still not clear to me who owns this. Still an impressive sword.

With all that said in the discription the key words are "will easily attain a high level" and "could be attributed" plus the photos are for a better word lacking. Caviat Emptor my friend.

This statement is usually used by dealers who have the sword on offer in a shop too. For example, you have a gunshop that has the sword for sale at X price. You list it on eBay, but if someone pays the price in the shop, then it is sold, and withdrawn from eBay.

Also could be the seller has it listed in a classifieds section somewhere, and whichever method sells it first, the other gets cancelled.

That would be my guess. I don't think there is anythign sinister in that comment. It is quite common.

The seller has 3 nice sword for auction, but also 13 negative feedback, scary. Mike

This is mackstar2001.

A forum search will pull up enough info on him.

I have been fairly happy with the few items I bought from him, others not so much. Seach the forum for mackstar for info on the seller. Sword looks nice, but definitely not enough pics and info to make a decision.

Sorry, my mistake.

Best of luck, we all surely need it.
