I found this while browsing through ebay today. Came across this and this dealer in general. Do you guys think this is legit? In my opinion it seems too good to be true, but he does have a interesting selection of blades on his websites as well.

OK... If its a Kanata, then would a false signature be Migei? :? Or is it just an average Gin Shunto?

At least the koraeshi are in shape good

wow it just sold for a tad over 3k, glad i didn't try to bid on it

[bobtail44]

Yeah I was watching the auction. I wasn't confident enough in the condition to buy it. Also the seller didn't respond to my questions about its condition so it seemed too hard.

My main concern was the no return policy on it so I wasn't going to bid on it. I can't trust ebay sellers who doesn't offer some sort of return policy with gimei, various fatal flaws, and conditions being such a problem, especially for any smith that's even remotely well-know.

On ebay you always have a return policy. Sometimes it just isn't worth paying the return shipping and the hassle though. If its gimei just say that it wasn't as described and you want to send it back. Paypal will force a refund. I wouldn't do it without a good reason though.

return policy with gimei??? huh?

Papers change over time, ones good now may not be later, visa versa, do your home work before you buy. Too much buyers remorse going on now days.

Now if is a out right lie on condition ie kizu that's a whole new kettle of fish.

What I mean is that if someone says "oh im selling you a blade signed by masamune" for example or "im selling you a blade that isn't damaged" then you turn it over and there a massive rust hole. Paypal will just refund you and you post it back. If they say no refund in their policy it doesn't matter.
