Stephen Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Did someone just buy this for $200? was trolling and did not look at the price, worked on the mei then went back to see location seen the 200 ....just a bit late....doh! now the question is I don't find any YUKIHIRO in hawleys that start with ichi hishu dewa...any comments now that is gone? http://www.ebay.com/itm/antique-katana- ... 2516.l5255 Quote
echizento Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Some people have all the luck. Even if it's gemei for $200 it was a steal. Quote
Stephen Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 maybe he forgot a zero? and marked sold...dang Stephen check the price first...lol Quote
Surfson Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Nope. Seller ended the listing. Probably sold it locally or to a ebayer that made a buy it now offer off of ebay. Quote
Brian Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 No, it sold. He didn't end the auction early. No..I don't know who bought it, but it was probably a BIN. Good deal for someone. Brian Quote
Stephen Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 ok we got that out of the way, any record of a mei sighed that way? Quote
Stephen Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 Seems that he did, Ed had one that i think was Col Hartly blade http://home.comcast.net/~colhartley/Vir ... kihiro.htm if the same , someone got a D E A L ! Quote
cabowen Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Yukihiro is a well known mainline Hizen smith. Not many good ones signed katana mei.... Quote
1tallsword Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I see many issues ..a tired blade with kissaki issues... Guess $200 is a good deal if ya want to flip it for $600 or so... but if collecting to keep In my opinion if collecting the $200 could have been put towards something much better with not so many issues... sorry that tip/ kissaki looks broke,over polished and deformed to me, hope no offence taken here and is just my opinion,for what ever thats worth :lol: Quote
Stephen Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 I think your 110% right, thought the tsuba might be worth the price of the winning bid. Quote
bobtail44 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Id love to know who bought the Inoue Shinkai, I really wanted to buy that. If someone has it and wants to make a profit http://yakiba.com/H28_Wak_Shinkai.htm Trent S Quote
NihontoSeeker Posted August 2, 2014 Report Posted August 2, 2014 I am honored to say that I ended up with the responsibility to restore and care for the Shinkai and Yukihiro from the Hartley collection. They will both go for restoration and papers. After, they will rejoin a beautiful Kanesada from the Hartley collection. I am unsure as to the rest of the original collection as He had many wonderful pieces. I'm happy to soon have 3 pieces to honer a wonderful memory, a true lover of history. T hanks to everyone who has helped me along the way in finding true diamonds in the ruff. NihontoSeeker Quote
