raiden Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 If you have done business with this person, please check to see if he still has your blades. I have heard some disturbing news about him recently and my friends friend has a blade with him. But he cannot contact him. Quote
k morita Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 This is the link of his web site, shop name is "kobijutsu Yubi". http://japansword.art.coocan.jp/ Quote
raiden Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 my friend said he ran away with many peoples sword. Quote
Brian Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 So this is well known eBay seller fwic2803 Ouch. I know many members here had dealt with him. Thread title updated to enable people to find this thread easier. Brian Quote
raiden Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 I do not post such news lightly, but people should be very careful and deal only with well established shops - not discounters advertising for business on ebay. To me that is scary, I have been sending items to Japan for resatoration and shinsa for over 30+ years, and have dealt with only very reputable people that have been establsihed for generations, or have direct ties to the NBTHK. This forum can provide good information, so beginners should ask BEFORE doing anything. According to my news, he is no longer a member of the Zentosho, and is banned from many dealer events. Please if you have any blades with him, try to contact him or his partner and check . That is all I am saying. Good Luck! Quote
Soshin Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Hi Mike Y., This is very serious. I purchased a wakazashi back in 2004 from him on eBay. I no longer have it and I sold it a long time ago. I have noticed he hasn't listed anything on eBay lately. I hope it is resolved but if it isn't the thing to do is to contact the police. Quote
Anthony de Vos Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Hi! I'm really suprised. I have bought several swords from him a couple of years ago. Always good comunication, items as desribed, smoth transactions, never any hustle, and now this....hard to belive, shocking. Anthony Quote
drbvac Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 I had some pretty satisfactory dealings with him several years ago - but = something may have gone sideways and now he is trying to make it all back. Quote
Kevin Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Sorry to hear it. I've done business with him in the past, and he was always straight up. He's never given me any reason to worry. Kevin Quote
