Often these items can be seen for sale on Yahoo Japan for a much lower price at the same time they are on ebay, not illegal, just much more expensive than if you found the same item being sold by the real owner.

b.hennick Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Looking at the completed listing, he was selling modern and reproduction swords just before he listed the current group. The tsuba are very expensivve. The swords - some are otheres not. His information sheet seems to cover all his bases. I would beware. Quote
raven2 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Barry is right, some very expensive stuff. Never mind the Nihonto, used golf clubs between $1000 and $1800? That should tell you all you need to know. I would definitely keep clear. Quote
drbvac Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Posted January 11, 2014 Now that I see the same Muramasa on Yahoo auction for sale on his site for 100G I can see there are other problems than the prices Quote
