E-Bay Trader Has New User Name ?

[cuttingedge59]

Hi All,

Trolling e-bay this evening and come across a handfull of listings that would strongly sugguest that E-bay trader Showa22 is

now trading under the I/d of Kings2715 . This is only a opinion and as such could be completely incorrect however looking at the way the listings are written seem very similar to the way that Showa22 used to list.

If so then he has been doubling up for some time, that ID has been registered since August 22 2004, almost 11 years!

All very odd...I wasn't aware that Showa22 wasn't selling anymore? He had listings up to a month ago, and usually had satisfied customers. Why would he have changed names?

But I do agree those 2 usernames are used by the same person.

Check out these 2 listings, and especially the descriptions:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-sword-WWll-Kamikaze-pilot-suicide-tanto-dagger-mountings-/351345033404

 

So either a backup username, or one used for consignments, or .....?

I don't know of any real controversy surrounding Showa22, his items are usually ok and he has a number of customers here. But interesting to see this other id.

Denis ,

i noted that however some of these guys have a rat hole so to speak incase things get dicey, and the Showa22 I/d has no listings .

Roush changed his I/d a while back to another I/d that also was registered for some time.

Maybe just a mirror but seems vert similar.

Hi All,  Kings2715 is Showa22. He used to only buy under the buyer id of Kings2715 and resell under Showa22 until recently. I know very well because I have sold many complete swords and bare blades to kings2715 and seen the exact items relisted under showa22. He recycles many swords and blades he wins and they turn back up in a few weeks on Ebay.  Lot of interesting bidding also on his items...... Best Regards, John

So basically even if his wares are ok, he is probably raising prices?
